pero meron yata sa ibang assessing agency (like Vetasses) di ko lang maaalala try mo i-search dito s forum., hindi nmn yata nila ni-reject yung assessment, pinaulit/pinaresubmit lang yata ung documents with stamp sa harap..
ang sa tingin ko, hindi lang nila nakita na may stamp sa likod..
so kung ayaw mo talga ipaulit.. eto ang suggestion ko, maglagay ka ng coverpage na may note na nasa likod ung stamp, kuha ka rin ng calling card nung notary, at i-attached mo sa parang cover letter..

In this order:
1. manager
2. supervisor
3. or a colleague..
of course you need to provide also their contact information para incase mag verify ang DIAC they can call them..
mas maganda kung you can print this in your company letter head.. hingi ka sa HR.. or gayahin mo ang template same ng generic letter na binigay nila syo..

This is my first post here, sorry if I will be asking a lot of question in my first shot. I'm considering to migrate to Australia and confused on how to get my skills assessed by Engineers Australia. Need help with the following concerns:
1. In their website, It says you can just upload the documents, however some say you need to send by courier? So which one is correct / recommended?
2. My Employment certificates does not have statement of work, and the companies I worked with in the past are closed or will not provide this info: e.g. "Intel Philippines", "Chartered Semiconductor in Singapore. So how can I work this out?
3. CDR and other supporting documents? Any references I can use.
4. I'm currently unemployed. Is it good to submit now, or I need a job before submitting?
(btw, Im still preparing for my IELTS)
5. DO you guys process your papers by your self or with some help of Australian Immigration Agents?
Appreciate your responses,
-Cris

Palagay ko pwede sir, kasi wala naman sinabi na kailangan e card lang nung nag-papa-assess yung tatanggapin nila. Pero siyempre kelangan meron consent nung may-ari nung card.
Maiba naman ako para sa ibang idol natin diyan....
Mga idol yung sa CDR niyo ba at yung Summary Statement, Application Form, at iba pa e pwede print na lang ng black and white or kailangan pa ba e colored? May nagpasa na ba ng black and white print out for these at tinanggap naman? Salamat sa mga makakasagot mga idol.

Salamat ng marami idol, binasa ko naman ng ulit ulit yung migration skills assessment booklet ng EA, wala naman sinabi. Baka lang kasi meron naka-experience na hindi tinanggap.
Grabe CDR, kaunti na lang at matatapos na... Matutuyuan ka pala dito.. )

first thing is to download and read the migration skills assessment booklet..
http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/migration-skills-assessment
Basic requirements:
1) DIploma/TOR
2) COE with detailed job description and other supporting documents.
3) Your Career Episodes (CDR), Summary and Application form
4) IELTS score to be forwarded from your testing center to EA.
Yes, lahat po kailangan yan certified true copy...
goodluck..

Yun sa "Relative Skills Assessment" mayroon kasing clause na "...positions should not be described by generic titles (eg, Engineer) but according to the nature of the duties undertaken (eg, Assistant Project Engineer – Civil)," doon sa booklet.
Yung COE kasi na nakuha ko is generic yung title na nilagay ni employer "Associate Design Engineer" at "Project Engineer" at yung hours per week hindi ko na din naipalagay sa former employers ko. Though I got everything ok naman including the main five duties undertaken and all those details.
Iluluwa ba ni EA itong ipapasa ko or is there a chance na tatanggapin naman nila ito at isusugal ko na ba? Nasa ibang bansa din ako and I will be having my vacation na in 2 weeks at dun ko na sa pinas aayusin pagnagkataon e ipapasa ko din, e ang hirap kumuha ng COE sa previous employers ko at tatagal na naman pagnagkataon. Do you think these things I have discussed are grounds for non-acceptance? Sayang kasi 850aud. hehe!
Salamat mga idol..

1. Communications Specialist
2. Telecommunications Network Engineer
Because I'm quite obsessed with the word "engineer", I chose the latter. lol. talaga bang ganung katagal ang assessment sa EA? yung ibang assessment body kasi tulad ng ACS parang mabilis lang, nakikita ko sa mga timeline ng iba halos 1 month lang. On the other hand, ok lang sa akin na medyo magtagal kasi kasi gusto kong makaipon muna ng pocket money sa OZ kung sakali mang ma-grant ang VISA. at gusto kong icherish ang time kasama ang pamilya dahil pag andun na sa OZ, yung homesickness ang vpinakaunang kalaban.
