The only time I ever hear of the ASC (Australian Computer Society) is the punch line in bad IT jokes.
But last night I had a Pakistani taxi driver who had just got his masters in IT. He spoke with enthusiasm about the ASC and how he was going to be paying them $12500 over the next year so that he could be accredited in IT. (!!) I just want to test the waters here; are the ASC relevant? Are they doing a good job? Does anyone ask for ACS accreditation during interviews? I am in Melbourne for work at the moment. Maybe it is a regional thing?
