Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

whew, kamote din ako paggawa ng CDR agh...ulyanin na kasi ako, ahihihi.

tanong ko po, kasi nakalagay din doon sa requirement na any member of EA can certify your docs. my sister in law is already a member of EA although quite new pa siya, 1 -year member. pero concern lang ako kasi sister-in-law ko siya baka questionable pa docs ko.

ano kaya mas maganda pa-notarize ko na lng sa lawyer?

lock_code2004

newbie here. di ko alam ano uunahin. most of ourdocuments are here with us in uae. pakuha na lang ba kami ng bago tapos for notary? thanks.

weigh your options.. kung alin mas mura at mabilis.. magpakuha ng bago at pa notary sa pinas.. or magpanotary na agad sa uae..

kailangan nyo pong ipanotarize ang lahat ng documents na isusubmit nyo sa EA, if you want to keep the original... kasi kailangan nyo ulit magsubmit sa State Sponsorship at sa DIAC...
so i suggest na ipaphotocopy and then notarize...

ofcourse hindi na kailangan ipanotarize ang CV at CDR, dahil ikaw nmn ang gumawa nyan..

nasa AU na po ba kayo? or nasa pinas ang sis-in-law nyo?..
im asking kasi kung sya ang magcecertify , tapos ipapadala nyo pa sa kanya sa AU.. eh baka magastos pa.. in this case mas mura magpanotaryo na lang kung nasan ka man..

hello lock_code, salamat sa pagsagot mo sa inquiry ko, andito ako sa SG now ngwowork, bale 6-yrs na.

bale PR na po ang sister in law ko, nka-move na po sila sa AUS at isang taon na sila doon ng younger brother ko.

kasi po ang balak ko dun na ako lodge ng submission sa EA thru my relatives, at since member na po ng EA ang sister-in-law ko pde na po siya mg-certify ng docs bago ipasa sa EA. Ang concern ko lng po ksi eh meron relasyon, baka ma-aberya pa ang application. meron din nmn kami kakilala din na mg-certify, one of the pillars of EA, ung manager ng SIL ko. eh kaso kasi ayoko mgkaroon ng utang na loob sa ibang lahi, baka meron kapalit. bakas mas mabilis kasi processing ng assessment kung member ng EA na ang ng-certify.

meron na po ba nka-experience dito ang ganung process?

lock_code2004

@bethpie teka im reading the booklet from EA and it says...
- a current financial member of EA
- a staff member of EA

notice that they used the words "current financial" and "staff" member.. i'm not sure kung pwede any person na member ng EA.. so please verify..

lock_code2004

@bethpie kung pwede talaga.. then the next question is kung okay lang na ba related kayo..

thank you for your reply lock_code, verified ko na po na pde siya mg-certify since staff member na nga siya but since it is vague from the certification conditions kasi nga hindi nka-indicate regarding the relationship of the person who will certify. although kung titingnan mo nga nmn ang birth certs nming dalawa, hindi nmn kami mgkadugo, kumbaga acquired relationship lng kasi wife siya ng brother ko.

hinahabol ko kasi ung "age" points kasi i am 32yo now and May next year 33yo na mg-iiba na ang points, sayang kasi. kaya ang target ko sana is to acquire the fastest assessment coming from EA and target the maximum points i can acquire so I can lodge EOI before May 2013.

lock_code2004

@bethpie yeah.. i think there is no harm in trying..
balitaan mo kami kung mas mabilis nga ang assessment if docs were certified by an EA member. goodluck!!

vinpack

Hi everyone! Just want to ask if there have been cases that the turnaround time for ea assessment was shortened? Ea website states that current turnaround time is 15 weeks. May possibility po ba na makatanggap ka ng assessment say after 10 weeks or maybe 12 weeks?

Cheers!

lock_code2004

@vinpack - may mga months na mas mabilis ang processing nila.. example for me i got mine in approx 6 weeks.. mas mabilis pa sana un kaso ni-request nila to re-send a copy of one of my documents..

vinpack

@lock_code2004

Thanks sir! Im seriously thinking of taking my chances that they can provide results within a shorter period. I just found out that visa 885 is still open for applications til the end of the year, di kasi nagbabasa mabuti e. If I manage to organize all requirements and submit to EA next week, that will be about 14weeks til end of the year. Photo finish ito if ever, ang i will need tons of good fortune to pull this off! Hahaha.

Cheers!

lock_code2004

@vinpack wait.. checking your timeline.. u have ur visa 476.. and is scheduled to arrive to AU in Oct.. why do you need to apply for visa 885?

vinpack

@lock_code2004

885 is a gsm pr visa for onshore holders of temporary visas 476 and 485. I have the impression that it would be so much easier to apply for this rather than submit an eoi for 189 or 190 and wait for an invitation. At least I can directly lodge for a visa rather than be subjected to eoi rankings. But i would need a lot of things to go for me to beat the deadline, not to mention scoring 8 across the board on the ielts exam. I will definitely need your level of ielts exam prowess sir, haha!

Cheers!

lock_code2004

@vinpack .. yes i've read about 885..
pero wala ka pa sa Au so technically hindi ka pa eligible for this?

or, you are doing things in advance, like skills assessment.. para pagdating mo dun sa oct... umaandar na ang lahat.. and ready for submission before Jan 1 2013..

vinpack

@lock_code2004

Yes, im doing it in advance sir. Pagdating ko naman next month, eligible na ako to lodge an application for 885. If ever i get hold of the positive results of EA assessment by dec31, I can still qualify for this. Iwas eoi hehe..

lock_code2004

@vinpack - brilliant plan! goodluck!!

vinpack

@lock_code2004

Salamat sir!! Sayang at late ko narealize that I can lodge for this, but im hoping I'll get a quick turnaround for the skills assessment just like what happened to you.

lock_code2004

@vinpack kaya yan!.. pag feeling mo malapit na lumabas ang result from EA.. mag fill-up kana ng application form for 885... para familiar kana sa form... or pwde nmn sguro i-save ang application kung online.. once lumabas ang result normally mag -eemail sila ng copy... pwede mo na agad i-attach un sa application mo and submit agad.. mga dec 31 2012 11:59pm.. habang nanood ng ny's countdown/firework sa sydney harbour bridge..heheh

vinpack

@lock_code2004

hahaha! nagtry nga ako sir kagabi mag fill up ng application for 885. Ayos itong mga tips na ito, salamat!! sana nga ay umabot kahit photo finish at dec 31 ng 11:59pm! haha.

ghypez

@vinpack: pakopya na lang nung 885. hehe.

@lockcode: pwede ba akong makahingi ng CDR copy na for Project management/scheduler/planner? Mejo nahihirapan ako gumawa ng career episodes. Hindi naman kasi masyado ma technical kapag project management unlike designers. hehe. Need help po. sasabay ako kay vinpack sana magpasa.

lock_code2004

@ghypez - IE po ako.. meron nag share dati dito... si @langgam37 alam ko CE sya..
pm mo sya..

hi, just want to inquire regarding EA assessment. I received the assessment letter from EA just today and they told me that 2 of my career episodes do not describe the work as a chemical engineer,They need at least one career episode which describes chemical engineering activities. I have 2 questions: 1. Is it ok to just provide 1 career episode (kasi al least 1 naman ang sabi)? 2. How can I provide this information, thru e-mail or mag-mail ulit sa engineers australia?... Your advise po will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

lock_code2004

@aijayann: please read the EA assessment guidelines carefully.. wala nmn po yata dun nakalagay na at least 1 career episode... as far as i know.. 3 career episodes po ang kailngan...

did they sent you an email or mail talga? if they contacted you through email, maybe you can ask them if you can just send the requested documents thru email.. if not, then mag-mail ka nga ulit..


during my assessment, the officer emailed me asking for another copy of my documents, and they requested it to be sent thru mail again...

lock_code2004

just another point: please check the ANZSCO code of Chem Eng.. that will give you the job description of a Chem Engr... you should pattern your Career episode based on that...

aijayann

hi @lock_code2004 . thank you for the immediate response. I already provided complete documents together with the 3 episodes kaya lang yun nga lng yung dalawang career episodes, hindi cguro pumasa sa standards nila. To share with you lang, ito po exact words na sinabi nya thru mail.

I have reviewed your Competency Demonstration Report application, and advise the following shortcoming in your submission:

* Career Episodes #2 and #3 which you have presented do not describe your work as a Chemical Engineer. At least one additional Career Episode is required which describes chemical engineering activities. You may refer to the definition of Chemical Engineer (ANZCO 233111) on www.abs.gov.au.

Engineers Australi will be pleased to assess your qualifications when the above issue has been addressed.

Hindi na po need mag-pay another 20k+ for the response d ba? if ever need ko nalng iprovide need nila?

Salamat ulit.

lock_code2004

yup.. gawa na lang po ulit kayo ng 2 pa and then send thru mail.. put your assessment reference number n nasa receipt nyo para alam nila kung kaninong case officer pupunta..

no need to pay the assessment fee again.. they are just asking for additional documents..

yup, make sure na ung career episode mo has elements of the duties/responsibilities of a Chem Eng as defined in the ANZCO code...

ang pagkaintindi ko sa reply syo, "atleast one additional is required", so parang hinihingan ka pa ng isa pa.. pero para sure.. 2 na po ang gawin nyo..

aijayann

@lock_code2004 . Thank you very much po! sana maging ok na talaga to...:)

Question naman po..ok lang po ba na scanned copy yung ipapanotarize na COE. At ok lang po ba na sa likod ng document nakalagay yung information at signature ng notary public. salamt po

marycelp18

magandang araw po..Ask ko lang if need ng show money kapag magaapply ng state sponsorship kasi parang may nabasa ako na financial stability na at least may 20k AuD?maraming salamat po

lock_code2004

Question naman po..ok lang po ba na scanned copy yung ipapanotarize na COE. At ok lang po ba na sa likod ng document nakalagay yung information at signature ng notary public. salamt po

scanned or xerox pwede lang nmn yan..pareho lang nmn na copy.. as long as ok sa magnonotarize..

mostly their requirement is to have the stamp on the page itself and not the back.. you should request sa magnonotary na ganun.. kasi un ang requirement..
