guys, paano ba kumuha ng electrical license? sabi nila xe kpag positive assessment kna sa EA, automatic na un at mkakakuha kna ng electrical license at issubmit mo lang un certificate mo from EA. Is that true? any kind ba un ng engineering or particularly EE lang sa atin? ECE pla ako... tnx

jedh_g

@K9_q8 in Australia, having affiliation as member of EA does not equate in the engineering license. The equivalent of engineering professional here is what you called "chartered engineer" whereas it demonstrates local professional experiences here in Australia and should be evidenced by colleagues with the same line of profession.

So EA membership is just plainly membership affiliation but not necessarily mean license acquisition (Membership renewal is paid with a fee every 3 months). Hope that is clear mate. The submission of EA documents is just a test of engineering competency and shall be approved by the board/chairman of EA for you as active standing member.

@jedh_g what do we have to do to practice our engineering career and be able to get the license? Sabi nila klngan mo muna ng license para mkpgwork dyan? Tama ba? What will be the benefits of having the positive assessment in EA? Tnx

jedh_g

@K9_q8 simple is you get hired by Australian employer and gain local professional experience. No license necessary unless government critical jobs or military defence. Experience counts most than your PRC license.

Positive EA assessment is just used for fulfilling migration requirements upon EOI submission.

@jedh_g Bro ask ko lang, I have been invited & have lodge my visa application (Subclass 190-Vic) last June and I've been contacted by my CO nitong July requesting for police clearance. So far naprovide & upload ko naman na lahat ng requirement. So while waiting nagdecide ako mag member sa EA as a professional overseas member and got approved naman. I'm currently based here in Saudi pa while awaiting un result ng visa application ko.

I am trying to apply na in advance sa mga company dyan but so far getting no response. Do you have any idea pano makikipagnetwork with other professional using EA habang based ka overseas? Mechanical engineer din pala ko.

K9_q8

@jedh_g Are they particularly focused on local experience or they usually accept overseas too? How about the process of getting an electrical license? Do we have to study or take a necessary course? Tnx!

@K9_q8 Pag nag apply ka as member EA they will provide you like a special account showing the pathway para maging chartered engineer ka. I have the "Chartered how to guide" and I'm willing to share it to you. But since bago lang ako dito di pa ko marunong mag attach ng file.. Hehehe.. PM mo sa akin email mo para masend ko syo..

@gps basically, you can network with other EA members once you arrive at Victoria. Other means is thru LinkedIn lang. Maraming members na EA members.

Chances talaga na 'di papansinin application mo kasi wala ka pa on shore at Australia. They prefer applicants na nasa Australia na than from overseas.

Plus, 'di ka pa qualified sa Charter Engineer kasi it is pure Australian engineering profession practice. No bearing if acquired mo yan ng ilang taon to other countries elsewhere.

@K9_q8 bro again, pag PR status ka na here at Australia, mag apply ka na ng job. No bearing ang electrical license. Pwede ka mag trabaho dito basta match sa needs ng company nila. So if you're really dead serious on getting an electrical license here, mag university ka and enroll. But take note, babagsak ka pa din sa hands-on experience on jobs to justify. No bearing ang other acquired engineering license sa pinas or elsewhere. You had to begin from scratch and earn your actual professional experience here. Investment ika nga.

@jedh_g thanks ng marami tlga sa mga advice at mukhang madugong labanan kung skali na mreceive ko na PR ko. Mrami ba kau kilala na pinoy na nagwwork as Biomedical Engineer or FSE? Xe sa medical equipment ang hawak ko d2 sa kuwait for 12 years, sa Philips Healthcare nmn sir 4yrs nko sa machines nila. Para may idea lang po pagdating dyan. O kya nmn kung saan mas mrming trabaho sa experience ko ay doon ako ppunta. Salamat pobin advance sa mga tips...

@K9_q8 good luck sa job applications. You pray hard as it is difficult to start here gaining the same line of profession where we came from in a certain industry. Sadly, most engineers degrade into mechanical tradies (welder, mechanical fitter, etc.) as it is hard to be hired by an AU employer these days for a start. If you're into biomedical field, try Sydney and Melbourne states.

Hello po magkano po ba ang total na babayaran to be EA member? And how much ang renewal?

jedh_g

From the Philippines, I paid 79 AUD (New EA Membership Application Assessment, dated Nov 2016). Then after arriving at Australia, I paid a separate 293 AUD around early months of 2017. Just an estimate for your reference. EA shall always send you a confirmation invoice due for payment fee. @kholoudmanlucu

Hello guys, would like to know re application. ok lang ba na mag apply na sa EA kahit 55 points palang then competent naman sa english exam? then to follow nalang yung another result ng english exam para sa DIBP? please advise. thanks a ton!

pwede ba yun?

jmban33

@jedh_g Bro yung fee ba ng EA tax refundable at the end of FY?

jedh_g

@Shyluck hello. You could do CDR earlier as you shall need to collate from each other proof of employment stints. Matagal din kasi mag prepare so better have your draft ready. Once you reached the required points at least you could immediately submit your EA assessment

jedh_g

@jmban33 haven’t done it bro but most likely not. FY tax refund usually starts filing by June, I just kept my receipts
