How to get recognition for your technical skills
Assess, learn and get recognised with ACS. Through a connected pathway of MySFIA, Skillsoft and certifications, ACS supports you from understanding your skills to building capability and achieving recognised credentials.
It’s a complete approach designed to help you grow with confidence and turn your expertise into real career outcomes.
The full career cycle starts with clarity
In today’s fast-moving tech landscape, knowing your next step can be the hardest part. What skills should you build, and how do you turn them into recognised credentials?
For many professionals, the challenge isn’t access to learning, it’s knowing where to start and how to connect each step into a meaningful outcome.
ACS brings this journey together, giving members a clear, structured pathway from assessment through to certification, helping you move forward with confidence.
1. Assess: understand where you stand with MySFIA
Understanding where you stand is the first step in any professional journey.
MySFIA enables you to assess your current capabilities against an internationally recognised framework, providing a clear view of your strengths and areas for development. It takes the guesswork out of career planning and gives you a practical foundation to build on.
Outcome: Clarity on what to focus on next
2. Learn: grow your skills with Skillsoft
Once you understand your capability gaps, the next step is targeted skill development.
Through Skillsoft, ACS members gain access to a wide range of learning resources designed to support professional growth. Whether you are deepening technical expertise or preparing for certification, the platform provides structured, flexible learning aligned to your goals.
Outcome: Structured learning that builds capability with purpose
3. Get recognised: validate your skills with certification
Learning is only part of the journey, recognition is what turns capability into opportunity.
Through ACS Rewards, members receive 30% off CompTIA certifications and exam vouchers, making it easier to validate your skills with globally recognised credentials such as Security+, Network+, CySA+, Cloud+ and PenTest+.
Beyond vendor certifications, ACS also offers its own professional recognition through certifications such as Certified Professional (CP) and Certified Technologist (CT). These certifications recognise your experience, capability and commitment to professional standards, helping you stand out to employers and peers.
Together, CompTIA certifications and ACS credentials provide both technical validation and professional recognition, giving you a well-rounded way to demonstrate your expertise.
👉 Outcome: Credentials that employers recognise and trust, backed by both global certifications and ACS professional recognition
