    Hi @jmm, what do you mean by lowering your qualifications to civil draftsman? I don't think by assigning civil eng'g draftsperson would lower your qualifications, but instead mas lalawak pa nga ang chances mo in the playing field. Been to SG for 7years at mas malaki ang offer ng civil draftsman compared to arki unless ofcourse kung senior ka na or madami kang alam sa pagiging archi draftsman. Same thing here in AU, mas malaki ang offer at mas malawak ang opportunities for eng'g draftsman. Well, I could be wrong. Mas maganda wait natin experiences ng mga kapwa archi draftsperson dito.

    I'm an arki grad myself, and I am grateful na civil/ structural na ang mas na-enhance kong skills dahil para lang naman sakin mas marami ang opportunities ko dito. I can shift career to civil, structural, rail, CSD/ mech'l, O&G, or pwede rin balik sa archi. Whereas kung archi draftsperson ka, medyo mahirap lumipat ng C&S lalo na kung wala masyado exposure dito.

    Back to your question bro about shifting to civil draftsman, meron ka ba experience sa C&S? Kung wala, di mo rin pwede ipaassess yan. Kung 2years naman ang exp mo as archi draftsman, wala ka din ata makukuhang points nyan sa work exp dahil minimum ang 3years. So ang chance mo para makakuha ng mataas na points for visa application is either wait na mag 3years ang work exp or galingan mo na lang sa ielts. BTW, ilang taon kna pla? Abot na ba for 30points para sa age?

    @jmm, hindi po ako sir... girl po ako.

    Architect po ang position ko ditto sa office in Dubai. When I did the skills assessment, I opted to be assessed as architectural draftsman for the very reason na mas madaling makakuha ng positive skills assessment sa vetassess compared to architects Australia dahil architecture in the Phils is not equivalent to architecture in Australia.

    And for your question, it doesn't matter if you have your skills assessed as an architectural draftsman or civil draftsman. What's important is you have the documents to prove your skills and experience. I cannot na mas magiging malaki ang advantage mo if you have your skills assessed as civil draftsman kasi ang question lang naman dun is enough ba yung years of experience mo to qualify you to get points. I suggest, kung san ka mas may matagal na experience, yun ang ipaaassess mo. At the end of the day, what will matter most is yung points na makukuha mo. We can be assessed for whatever skills we have for that matter as long as we can produce all the documents necessary to get positive results.

    Bottom line is, pagdating mo ng Australia, you can do all sorts of work, may it be architectural works, C&S, mechanical, etc. We are flexible that we can learn anything... it depends na lang sayo how you cope with the change. So I suggest, kung alin yung sa tingin mo mas mataas na points ang makukuha mo then go for it. Worry about the job in Australia later.... taget mo at this point in time is to get the positive outcome. But one thing more, civil draftsman do not require state sponsorship whereas architectural draftsman do. so kung willing kang mag undergo ng state sponsorship for additional points, choose arki, kung di naman, choose civil. Yun lang po.....

    Hi guys, nag aaply din po ako ng 190 thru WWICS. Arki grad din po ako and working here sa Qatar as arki draftsman. According po sa agency ko ung NT ay open po sa 312111 na occupation, pero masyadong maarte sa mga requirements nila lalo na sa evidence of financial capacity. For me, my wife and sa anak ko nag require cla ng 60k aud worth of assets according sa website nila. Its a long shot but is there anybody who can shed light on how to work out on a solution to this?

    Hello sa lahat! Kailangan ko lang ng advice or guidance ng mga nakakuha na ng visa nila. Architect applying as Architectural Draftsperson (ANZSCO code 312111). Magpapasa na ako sa vetassess ng complete information ko. Expired PRC lisence since 2013. Nag-take na ako ng IELTS. (OBS 6.0) Ano na ba next move ko? Plano ko kasi sana Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) ang pasahan ko. Tama ba ako? Salamat ng marami!

    Hi! newbie here. I have been reading on the posts especially on this thread. Background story: Sis in law already a PR in ACT, just received their Visa flying to AU in January. She invited us to apply for Subclass 189. My husband is the principal applicant, Architecture grad from UST, more than 10 years in the industry. Plan is to have his skills assessed by AACA kaya lang as I was reading this thread, most of the posts opt for VETASSESS as Architectural Draftperson kasi maliit ang chance ma approve sa AACA. kaya lang wala sa SOL ang arch draftperson. What are other options? I need sound advice on this... Thanks a lot guys... :)

    Ang pagkaalam ko Nakalagay na kahit closed ang skills kapag may kapatid o 1st cousin na nakatira sa ACT puede pa rin mag apply.

    hello sa lahat. im new here architectural assistant dito sa sg, but architect sa pinas. im applying as well as architectural draftperson. nasa vetassess na ang aking skill assessment.
    sana pumasa ako. hindi ako naka kuha ng coe sa opisina na architectural draftperson ako. mahirap na kasi dito sa singapore ang trabaho, nag submit lang ako ng referral letter galing sa amo ko pero hindi signed and company letter head.
    kasi ayaw ko din naman nya malagot sa opisina na naglabas sya ng unofficial letter.

    sa mga nag pa vetassess na po. lahat po ba kayo ng submit ng coe na nalalagay agn detailed work as architectural draftman? un trabaho ko po kasi dito di nmn ako draftman lang. kay di din ako maklahingi ng coe na with draftman description. arch'l assistant ay more than drafting ang trabaho ko, lumalabas sa site and attend meeting tapos coordination.

    share lang po nya ang experience nyo sa vetassess regarding sa detailed coe.
    sorry po naitanong na ito noon.
    salamat marami.
