Just to clarify,
“@[deleted] As far as I know, ACS will follow the dates mentioned in your reference letter. For example, if your Company states that you are employed up to present and ang date ng letter is June 6, 2019 hanggang doon lang ang ilalagay nila sa result letter. If you submit an EOI prior to your work anniversary in October, you still cannot claim 10pts for 5 years of work exp (even if it’s few months away nalang) but you can claim 5pts points for your actual work exp - 4+ years (after the two year deduction). However, your points in your application will automatically increase naman along with your experience. By October, there is no need for re-assessment if you want to claim additional points for your updated work experience as long as you’re staying in the same company that was assessed by ACS and the result letter is still valid.
However, if you decide to transfer to a new company prior to October you will need to have your skills assessed again if you want to claim points for your latest work experience 🙂”
Hindi po kasi naroround off ang work experience even if your work anniversary is just a few months away. So if you have your skills assessed ngayon, you can’t claim points for 5 years of work exp yet. Now you have these options depending on your timeline (when you want to lodge your EOI, career plans and etc) and the points that you want to target for your occupation:
Have your skills assessed now and in your EOI you can claim 4+ years of exp or 5pts (if 2 years ang deduction ng ACS from your current experience). Then if you decide to stay in the same company until October, you don’t need another skills assessment because your initial assessment will still be valid and your points in your application will be automatically adjusted according to your current work experience - so magiging 10points na sya. You just need to attach in your application an updated reference letter proving that you are still working for the same company at that time. However, if you decide to move to another company after your ACS skills asssessment and before October, kailangan mo magpa assess uli kasama na yung bago mong experience with the new company if you want to claim points for that experience.
Have your skills assessed in October and claim the appropriate points.
Overall, it depends nalang on your target points, preferred timeline and your career plans (whether staying on the current company or not)on which option will suit you best. Hope this helps 🙂
