Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

joestrummer

Hi! Sorry but I just started the assessment process. I hope they can do it in the time they stated in the email they have given in reply to the "status" email or hopefully less than that. I still have to find that out for myself in the last week of April (which is supposedly the time they finish the assessment). Also I still have to find out if I am going to receive an email or if I will just have to wait for the mail sent by post for the results.

@joestrummer hi sir nagemail k a pala status.. ano reply end of april ba daw? may namentioned ba if there are still sending results through email.. sa april na ako mag eemail 😃

@rylynn,

Wala naman po nakalagay sa email nila kundi yung "Current Turnaround Time ng Assessment" Kaya ko po naman nalaman na April yung akin is binilang ko yung weeks ng assessment from the date dun sa EA Receipt (Kung kailan nila natanggap). Ang binigay nila is 16weeks. So for my case po that is approximately 3rd week to the last week of April. Automated generic yung reply nila.

By the way ngayon ko lang nabasa mayroon nakasulat na ganito sa huli nung email.

"Please make due allowance for delivery times per Australian Post, etc"

So medyo hindi ko na ieexpect na mag-eemail sila ng scanned copy bago ko makuha yung tunay na copy. Well kung may dumating man na email e di oks din. hehe!

@joestrummer Hi Idol, did you send an email to EA asking for the status of your application? Is it ok to inquire on the status?

Medyo marami-rami pala tayong nag apply sa EA...at least masaya pag marami tayong naghihintay ..hindi boring... 🙂

joestrummer

@RichardQ,

Idol ang yung email nila is generic lang na auto-reply. Para lang malaman kung ano ba ang current turnaround time ng assessment. Although minsan nakalagay din dun kung sino na makakatanggap ng results in the next few days. Ito meron nakalagay sa akin na..

<i>" - CDR applications received on the 28 August 2012 are currently with an assessing case officer - formal advice of the outcomes will be generated within the next 10 days or so"</i>

Nung January 14 pa yan idol. Try niyo email. Ang subject lang is "Status" then isend niyo sa msastatus@engineersaustralia.org.au

February na idol. Mga march yung inyo tama? Hehe! E next week lang gitna na ng February. Ayus!

Hello po sa lahat!! Hingi lang sana ako ng inputs/guidance, plano ko na kasi mag-submit ng assessment for Professional Engineer sa EA.

March 2 yung schedule ko for IELTS GT exam and nag-sstart na rin ako mag-draft nung issubmit ko na CDR.

Tanong ko lang regarding sa "Recognized Overseas Qualification". Kapag na-assess ba ng EA na equivalent to Professional Engr yung qualification, i-aassess din ba nila na equivalent to "Bachelor Degree" in Au standard yung degree ko from Pinas?

Makukuha ko ba yung full 15 points for "Recognized Overseas Qualification" based sa assessment ng EA?

By the way, I'm a BSECE grad, I did not take the board kaya wala akong license but I have been working as a Product/Test Engineering Group Lead, 8 years sa Pinas, 2 years sa Thailand.

Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot!!

@aussiestotle - you have to chose these two assessment services:

http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/migration-skills-assessment

No.3-a: Standard Service - for your CDR (600aud) - they will assess your educ qualification if it's degree or diploma comparable to AU level

No.3-b: Additional Assessment Services (200aud) - to assess your work exp if it's related/closely related to your nominated occupation to claim EOI points

@lock_code2004, thanks sa response. for us who graduated from the phils, what is the assessment being given by EA?

for my case it will be similar to bachelor of science in engineering graduates in the philippines which is 10 years of primary/secondary education, followed by 5 years of university studies (no masteral units).

marami pong factor to consider.. but one main factor is your school, they have a classification/sectioning of schools in the philippines... for example if your degree is from a section 1 school (UP/UST/DLSU/Ateneo), it is most like be assessed as comparable to AU degree, therefore you can claim 15 pts..

again. that is only one of the many factors, marami pong considerations, like course content, your grades, professional registration (prc)....

but based on experience of most of us here, for example my degree is from Section 1, so I got an assessment equivalent to AU degree..

aussiestotle

@lock_code2004, thanks again sa response, i'm actually from PLM. saan ko pala pwede makita yung "sectioning" ng schools, may reference doc ba that i could view from EA?

Share ko lang din yung sa case ng isang friend ko....She's a graduate of Meralco Foundation (BSECE) which i assume is not a section 1 school. And she did not take the board. She was assessed as equivalent to Professional Engineer.

She worked as a technician for 4 years sa same company where i worked, and then got promoted as engineer, that is when she submitted the CDR.

Mukhang marami ngang factors at sa case nung friend ko na yun mukhang very considerate yung EA sa mga naging credentials nya. Although she did not pursue Oz anymore, after she got married and moved to the US

lock_code2004

@aussiestotle - you can be assessed as Prof Engineer, regardless of your school...

but their education qualification might be assessed as AU degree/diploma .. this will matter in claiming your EOI points..

there is a link on the top/header of this site "Accredited Schools"..

you can check the section/classification of your school..

aussiestotle

Thanks... I've checked the link and PLM (University of the City of Manila) is Section 2...

Do you know anyone from the forum who's from a Section 2 school and got an assessment equivalent to an AU degree? Thanks!!

Another question, EA requires the "Original TRF" of the IELTS to be sent directly from the Test Center... I will be taking the GT exam this March at the British Council here in Bangkok... According to the BC website, they will issue only one Original TRF to the examinee (either by pick-up or they will send it through express mail, after 13 days).... Could I request BC to send the Original TRF to EA instead?

Also, if I get invited to apply, what proof of IELTS examination is required by DIAC.... do they also require the "Original TRF"... or can I provide them the TRF "copies" the BC will issue?

Thanks in advance!

lock_code2004

@aussiestotle - yes meron naman pong mga from section 2 schools na na-assessed as AU degree..

regarding IELTS:

yes you will ask your testing center to send original copy to EA. check with them (BC bangkok), malamang may additional fee yung pag send sa EA..
you will need the original TRF as well for your own record.. keep it
sa pag-apply ng EOI/SS/DIAC, you will just need soft copy.. so scan it (colored), and you will just submit it online..

@lock_code2004 sir question ulit..

Scenario: experience ko po is more than 3 years related sa nominated skill ko.....sa CV included lahat ng experiences ko with another 5months related work experience pero sa CDR report ang ginawa ko lang is from the 2 latest employment ko po. tapos yung 2nd COE ko is dated Oct 2012, so less than 3 years lang sya technically. iaassess po ba nila up to present or hanggang sa date lang po ng COE? Si DIAC po ba magdedecide sa years para makuha ko yung 5points para sa work experience?

In case po ba lumipat ako ng company eh makuha ko na yung 5 points if ang included dates ay from August 2009-Feb 2013 ?

Related experience

1.)August 2009-Feb 2011

2.)May 2011-present(Oct 2012 -date of submitted COE)

Thanks in advance.saka pano pala magpost ng timeline:=)

@joestrummer ₁₉ weeks na ata now..

Current assessment turnaround time

Regularly updated advice on the dates of applications under current process may be sought by sending a blank email to msastatus@engineersaustralia.org.au with the sole word 'Status' in the email subject line. You will receive an automatic response.

Generally, for:

Non-accredited qualifications – turnaround is currently about 19 weeks from the date of receipt. Note this time can be highly variable depending on numbers of incoming applications
