Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

JClem

Hi,

I believe there is no existing discussion yet on skills assessment for engineers. Thus, I'm taking the initiative to open this thread.

For engineers who would like their skills to be assessed by Engineering Australia, below is the link where you can find all the details and requirements in submitting your application.

http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/role-activities/msa/msa_home.cfm

It's important that you download the Migration Skills Assessment Booklet and READ and UNDERSTAND it thoroughly. In case you have any questions or clarifications, you can post it here.

For engineers naman who are already in the stage of doing their career episodes and summary statement, below is a sample:

God bless us all!

By the way, for engineers naman who already submitted their EA application. May we know your status? I submitted mine last February 13, 2011 and it was acknowledged Feb. 17 by charging my credit card with the application fee. As of this writing, I haven't heard from them yet. I'm still within their processing period of 12-16 weeks. I do believe that God is at work.

Hi Jelms! Sad to say, wala pa din. :-( Feb.16 nila acknowledged application ko so ang estimate ko is June 8 yung 16th week ng assessment ko. According to the other forum, exactly 16th week daw inonotify ka na nila na ipapadala na nila yung letter. Hay sana nga umabot ng July 1.

@jelms

@JClem : Hi jClem, wala pabang result from EA? Kaya ko tinanong sayo kasi ikaw iyong parang binabasehan ko. Na acknowledge kasi iyong receipt ng husband ko sa EA mga Feb 24. Mga one week lang pagitan sayo. Sana ok lang result ng husband ko, sayo at sa iban pang nag submit. Iyon nalang hinihintay namin. Sana makahabol pa before July o1:-) God Bless

jelms

@JClem : Iyong sa husband ko din bali sa June 16 pa mag 16 weeks. I'm just hoping na maka abot pa kami...huhuhu. Balitaan mo kani dito ha if nasa iyo na iyong result ng assessment. Good luck and God Bless.

JClem

Sure Jelms! Sino nga pala principal applicant sa inyo ng husband mo? Samin kasi husband ko ang principal and pasado na sya sa skills assessment ng ACS. Last week lang dumating letter nya. In fact, pwede na kami mag-lodge ng application sa DIAC. Kaya lang gusto ko kasi i-claim yung 5points from partner skills. Pag by June 20 wala pa kong result from EA, baka maglodge na din kami.

@JClem : Iyong sa husband ko din bali sa June 16 pa mag 16 weeks. I'm just hoping na maka abot pa kami...huhuhu. Balitaan mo kani dito ha if nasa iyo na iyong result ng assessment. Good luck and God Bless.

JClem

Yesterday, June 8, marked the 16th week of my EA assessment application. Ok na kaya to make a follow-up sa EA? What do you think guys?

jelms

@JClem : Hi JCLEm : Pwede na siguro tumawag sa EA. May nabasa ako sa ibang forum na pagdating ng 16th weeks tinawagan niya ang EA to check his result. Ayon sinabihan siya ng positive. Plan then namin to call them next week ( June 16) kasi 16th weeks na din un from the date of receipt from EA:-)...Go go go girl...God Bless.

By the way, main applicant pala husband ko.

jayjee09

gud luck sa inyo sana positive result JClem and sa inyo rin jelms.

jelms

@jayjee09 : Thanks:-)...How about sa iyo? Naka lodge ka na ba ng application? Kami Assessment result nalang hinihintay namin...Sana makahabol pa sa July...hayz...hehe

JClem

Hi Jelms! Nagreply na si EA on my inquiry regarding the result of my assessment and it made my day happy because I passed the assessment, Skill Level 1 (Professional Engr.) with the ANZSCO code of my course. I really thank God for it!

June 8 yung naka-date dun sa letter, exactly 16 weeks. They sent me a file copy of the letter (not in EA's letterhead but signed by the assessor). Iniisip ko ngayon if pwede na sya ipasa sa DIAC then send ko na lang agad yung hardcopy once mareceive ko. Ok kaya yun?
