Basically from the information that you have mentioned, you said that the EA Assesment that I should log is for an Agricultural Engineer. Furthermore, you said that me, being a license holder will be given full 15 credits. So I should not worry and just go ahead and consider applying for an EA Assessment for an Agricultural Engineer? Is that right. Thank you very much.
only EA's outcome letter can confirm if 15 points nga makukuha mo, depende yan s documents mo at assessment
EA (and all assessing authorities) makes reference to the Country Education Profile in determining the equivalence of the qualification. Hence, prior to lodging the skills assessment, one should check the CEP. If one finds that his/her qualification would equate to lower than an AQF bachelors degree, no point applying for skills assessment due to failing to meet the minimum qualification requirement for EA.
Now with reference to @AgEn2016 being a licensed Engineer, if one looks at the interpretation on qualification and it’s equivalence to AQF standards set out on CEP by the Department of Education and Training, one will find that if a qualification is from a section 2/3 listed university, it will be recognised as equivalent to an AQF bachelors degree if it’s backed up by an evidence of passing a professional licensure exam which is the case. Hence, it doesn’t matter what section @AgEn2016’s is listed under as he meets the minimum qualification requirement for skills assessment.
Now with reference to clarifying what was said about only EA can confirm the claiming of points, just to avoid confusion...
The actual legislation - Migration Regulations 1994 states that in determining the equivalence of overseas qualification, the law refers to what is set out on CEP.
All assessing authorities (including EA) base their skills assessment criteria for migration purposes around the criteria set out on the Migration Regulation 1994. Hence they refer to the CEP in assessing the qualification.
Therefore it can be concluded that in determining the points claimable for qualification, it is actually set out by CEP. Hence one has an idea of points already prior to the assessment outcome if he/she knows how to use information on CEP.
EA skills assessment outcome only confirms the equivalence of the qualification but not the points one can claim since they do not provide points advice. also one can take into consideration that should the outcome is positive, it goes without saying that the minimum qualification for skills assessment has been met, hence it is safe to assume that minimum 15 points can be claimed.
