@Christian_Dave Ang pagkakaintidi ko, ang CDR is only an assessment for your Qualification as an IE/ME occupational qualification and through this CDR, dito malalaman nila if tama ba ang application mo through, as an example, sa work experience application ng qualification mo. In other words, sa pagiging IE/ME lang ang assessment nila dito.
But if you referring to Work Experience para maka score ka for the number of years na Skilled Employed ka, sa RSEA ito.
Ang outcome letter kase ng EA MSA is merong Highest Relevant Qualification which states if you fit the applied occupation and the school attended is comparable sa Australian Qualification Framework. And if magpapa RSEA ka, may additional outcome which states ilang years ka naka employ na relevant sa qualification mo.
So if hindi ka magpa RSEA, walang assessment sa number of years Work Experience mo, sa pagiging fit as an IE/ME lang. But again, this is just a support for the CO na talagang mag-assess sa years of skilled employment mo, so pwede ring hindi ka magpa RSEA. Yung nga lang, I think they will go for Employment Verification during lodging of visa na.
I hope this helps.
