Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

MaceyV

Hi! tanong ko lang po if pwede ba ako magpa assess sa EA, I am a graduate of BS in Computing Major in Information Management pero ang work experience ay more than 7 yrs na sa ICT / Telecom Engineer.

Anyone with the same status as I am?

hello @danj - thanks for sharing. IE din ako and here are my answers.

A few questions:
1) Does anybody here know about such industry restrictions for IEs? Anyone here had a similar experience before?

Hindi din ako aware na may industry restrictions pala. As an IE, we pride ourselves for our ability and flexibility to be in whatever industry we like to join in. We can enter finance, manufacturing, technology /IT - maski sa ospital or sa airport - maraming nagagawa at na cocontribute ang IE and are able to excel.
The only explanation I can possibly think is that, for some of these industries (ex banking/ finance) - restrictive ang maari natin ma contribute and the full potential of being an industrial engineer is not exercised. Considering the job description that has been set for Industrial Engineers, only 1 out of the 9 job description ang possibly covered ng experience ng isang IE sa bank/finance industry and this is for below
Establishing work measurement programs and analysing work samples to develop standards for labour utilisation
Similar to your experience for process improvement and Lean Six Sigma.

2) Do you suggest that I push for an informal review with EA?

EA already provided an answer to your question but it won’t hurt if you would like to have clarification. Para sa iyong peace of mind, knowing na you did everything that you could.
3) Can I claim those 5.5 years of experience once I lodge my EOI, despite the EA result not indicating such years of experience? I understand that DHA will do their own assessment. Is this an accurate statement?

I don’t recommend claiming for this experience. It will be too risky and may cause you to commit over claiming of points and eventually having your visa application rejected.
May instance recently na approved ng EA ang work experience pero rejected sa DHA.
It is true that DHA conducts their own assessment.
In your case na hindi approved ng EA, it would be too risky to claim for the experience and have DHA decide.
Try to think of it this way, ano ang posibleng mangyari or magbago for DHA to consider your experience given na meron na silang sinusunod na basis na “ experience in banking/ finance is not considered as skilled experience for Industrial Engineer”.
Naka mark na ito sa recent EA application mo whereby the CO have access to and can have another check.
Overall - AU is seeking for skilled experience, and not just work experience. Yan ang ma consider naten as reason.

Find other means to increase your points kung kaya pa. Sayang ang 5 years of experience pero sad to say there’s no way na you could have known of this beforehand, maski ako nagulat. Ano pa kaya ang ibang industry na di pasok? I guess this is something that an experience migration agent would know.

Best of luck sa iyong susunod na steps.

Hi @ms_ane, thank you very much for your inputs, especially on #3. Yup, that industry restriction was a real shocker for us. That's why I decided to share it here, baka may aware sa atin. But in any case, I hope this will also shed some light on EA assessment for our fellow IEs out there who are also in the banking industry and are planning to emigrate. I learned it the hard way so I hope ako na ang last!

We'll stick to our plan B where my wife will be the primary applicant and we'll just claim points for her experience plus hopefully the additional partner points in Nov 2019 -- I know, despite the lackluster results of the Aug 2019 round. But we're still praying that things will get better for all of us. Btw, congrats @ms_ane on your visa grant! God bless you!

@danj no worries 🙂

tama yan , take it as a minor setback and good thing about sa inyo is may plan b kayo. makikita mo na soon e you’ll be able to work your way through it yan 🙂

and while your 5 years of work was not recognized by EA, I am certain na magiging maayos pa din ang work na makukuha mo sa AU - dahil sabi ko nga, ang IE maski san mo ilagay e lumalaban yan 🙂

at salamat ulit sa pag share ng iyong experience in an effort to help other IE’s na mabigyan ng heads up regarding this industry restriction.

God bless sa inyo at kung may iba pang katanungan para naman sa application ni wife, wag mag atubiling mag post dito, marami kaming sasagot 🙂

Hello. Can anyone shed some light on how to send PTE score report to EA? There's no search result found when searching Engineers Australia on the Institution/organization/dept/school field. Thanks.

hello 🙂

ako dati hindi ko naman sa EA sinend but to Department of Home Affairs (DHA) - DHA - Visa Applications.

Type mo lang DHA sa search bar.

If gusto mo sa EA though, meron dun,

Engineers Australia - Engineers Australia - Test Report Verification

(search bar

country : Australia

leave all else as blank

search bar : Engineers

Got it. Thanks @ms_ane 🙂

Hello everyone. I need advice sana regarding sa work experience ko. Is it possible na "ma-credit" yung work experience even without govt docs (sss,pagibig,philhealth,itr)?

Naka-provide na ako ng coe, reference letter, email snapshots. 3 out of 4 of my employers were "startups" kaya di pa nakapagregister sa mga govt agencies.

Mangangarap na lang ba ako na ma-credit mga work experience ko with these companies, or mas maiging wag na? I am thinking na mahihirapan rin ako pagdating naman sa visa application.

Any inputs will be surely appreciated.

Salamat!

We are hoping to get a positive assessment from EA for partner points.

My case is I am a graduate of Electrical Engineering and had a 3-year relevant experience, but it was from 2012 to 2015. I am now working in a different field. I am able to provide all the necessary documents to be assessed as Electrical Engineer (ANZSCO 233311) including CDR.

My question is, is it possible to get a positive EA Assessment for a non-recent relevant experience.

Thank you!

Hello. I need help po. I applied for MSA CDR + RSEA last Aug. 12. I submitted all the necessary documents as fas as I know (SSS, ITR, payslips, COE with JD) and paid for the additional fee for RSEA. I am a Civil Engineer with 6.5 years of experience in Construction field here in the Philippines.

Then I received a positive outcome that my application was granted today, Aug. 22. However, upon checking, my Relevant Skilled Employment was not reflected on the mentioned letter. I checked my EA account and I verified that my application is "granted" and there is no other pending assessment application. Does it mean that my professional employment experience is not approved? What should I do?

Help please. Nakaka-sad. 🙁

Thank you.

Thank you.

don’t be sad muna, pinaka the best na mag email ka sa EA to verify. Show them your receipt na nag avail ka ng RSEA kasi if alam nila na nag avail ka ng RSEA, it will be reflected sa letter yung result, whether you can claim it or not.

wait din tayo na baka may similar situation dito ng kagaya sayo, para they can give feedback on how to move forward pero gaya nga ng sabi ko, your initial step is to email them to provide explanation. Goodluck.

Hello. I just received a positive outcome of my EA assessment today, problema lang po yung RSEA binawasan nila ng 2.5 years yung work exp. Di kase ako nakpagprovide SSS/Pagibig/Philhealth from 2013-2015 kase Job order ako sa Government but i add additional info naman na pag JO walang benefits that government employees enjoyed. Sadly 4years lang binigay ni EA.😭

Ang tanong ko po, pwede po ba ako maglodge ng EOI pero nakadeclare p din yung 6.5yrs of work exp? Salamat sa sasagot😬

hello 🙂 sorry to hear na nabawasan ng 2.5 yrs yung work experience mo.

Regarding sa question mo, I think most of us here will agree na we don’t recommend na you still claim for the 2.5 years experience since hindi sya na approve ng EA.

While DHA conducts their own assessment sa iyong work experience - mas magiging kampante ka kung approved sya ng EA instead na hindi.

Mayroon nga case approved ng EA, sumabit pa sa DHA.

And sakaling you include the 2.5 years, DHA may or may not reach out to you for the additional document to support your claim.. the question is paano mo sya maipprovide?

If DHa does not contact you for the additional docs to support - maaring diretso rejection na ang mangyari.

The risk of having your visa rejected due to over claiming of points does not only mean a waste of money and time, but lost opportunity (lalo na sa panahon ngayon na pahirapan na makakuha man lang ng ITA)

If DIY ka, I recommend na malinis ang iyong application, walang incoherence throughout the application.

I know halos lahat ngayon nagmamadali - pero if you encounter a setback, find other ways to increase your points, and not rely / settle sa di sigurado.

Hello Fellow Engineers!

I would like to take your honest opinion about this, I had a positive outcome in EA for Agricultural Engineer last September 2018 but no RSEA.

Worried lang ako kase e yung previous work ko is more on Economic side. Economic Development Specialist pa ang job title ko kaya more or less e baka di pumasa sa RSEA.

Now, if ever magproceed ako sa paglodge ng visa (189, 190 or 489/491), will it matter sa immi officer ng DHA/DoHA na kahit EA positive outcome lang? Meron bang naapprove ng visa without RSEA?

Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot! Salamat!

australiandreams

Ilang years po validity ng EA Skill Assessment?

lmsg06

@masteruzi

sa pagkakaalam ko po yung RSEA ay para makakuha ng additional points for experience po, so dependent parin po sa taas ng points nyo po yung pagkakuha po sa inyo sa EOI.

tanong ko lang po ilang months nyo po hinintay skills assessment nyo po sa EA? salamat

Thank you!

In this case, you would just need to have the 2012-2015 assessed. No point getting assessed for something not relevant to the occupation. Hope that helps.

may mga naapprove na dito na di nag RSEA pero ang difference nila is sigurado sila na ang kanilang work experience is in line with their nominated occupation.

Teka ang plan mo ba is di ka mag claim ng points for work experience pala?

Yun nga din sabi ng agent ko na may naaprove naman kahit wala RSEA kase si Immi officer pa din may final say.

Plano ko magclaim ng points for work experience @ms_ane! :-) Sana magrant pa din! sa ngayon, Praying and Claiming for ITA muna. :-)

Hello po! I'm currently in the process of preparing my MSA. For Civil Engineers, ask ko lang po if may mga nakapagpa-assess na po dito as Structural Engineer (233214)? What are the pros and cons compared to Civil Engineer (233211)? Thank you in advance! :smile:

Goomorning pinoyau fam, ask lang po sa mga saudi based. Meron ba tayong work permit? Hinahanapan kasi ako ng agent. Tia
