Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

hahaha uu nga, baka dun pa ma-dale kapag mali ang diagrams.

although kidding aside, i got inputs from a friend na nakakuha na ng favorable assessment from EA... ang tip nya is not to make the CDR very complex and too technical dahil baka mag-raise pa daw ng mas maraming questions sa assessor

@aussiestotle,

Yes idol, yun din advice sa akin ng isang idol na nakakuha ng positive result sa EA. Hangga't maaari nga ay pasok yung number or words niyo dun sa suggested nila sa booklet (which is hindi ganun kadami kung titignan niyo). Well hangga't maaari lang naman. Kung talagang sosobra kayo siguro kaunti lang difference.

Mga sirs, tanong lang po paano po ba kung yung isa sa mga ex-employer ay ayaw mag issue
ng COE? Sabi kasi doon sa checklist ng CDR "Certified documentary evidence of employment [must be provided if you have relevant work
experience of 12 months or more, or if the work experience provides a basis of a career episode(s)]" . Balak ko kasi ilagay sa career episode yung naging role ko sa company na iyon dahil iyon yung most relevant sa EE. Ina-accept ba kahit payslip na lang? Or kung halimbawa yung Senior Engineer ko na lang noon ang kausapin ko mag-issue instead na yung manager or hr (dati ko pa sila hinihingan eh medyo bad trip sila sa akin kaya di ako binibigyan ng cert.)

@joestrummer sir nakapsa ba sa assessment and VISA application yung friend nyo kahit certificate lang...ang worry ko lang kasi pag nagcheck sila sa PRC eh di na registered.

joestrummer

@davos_uno,

Opo certificate lang yung pinasa niya though he is renewed and he did get a positive result on the assessment. According sa migration skills booklet ng ea, ang kelangan is "Certified evidence of registration under the licensing authority in the country in which you are practising [if necessary]..."


The way I see this is that you have two options,

1. Renew your license so as to be sure with the assessment. However this will take up time (extend sending requirements to EA), some money and it will be a lot harder if you are abroad.

2. Take your chances with the PRC Certificate. You have to live with the paranoia though.


I went with the second option well because I want to send the documents as soon as I can and I work overseas and I only had 2 weeks of vacation last December (Christmas and New Year season, so you know how the government offices are mostly close) thus making it a bit harder for me to renew. Well I took my chances hopefully it will still give me the results I want.

Whatever works for you because the truth is I don't know if the validity of the PRC license is a huge deciding factor for a positive result.

Hope this helps.

if you back track dito sa mga thread..marami po ang ang sabi na naka-receive ng EA positive assessment kahit hindi lincensed sa pinas (PRC).

for sure it adds value.. but definitely not a requirement..

joestrummer

@sonsi_03,

Sa case niyo po dapat ata makakuha talaga kayo ng COE. It doesn't matter kung galit sila sa inyo. It is your right po to get the evidence of your employment in your previous company. What you can do po is to make a draft na nung gusto niyo ilagay sa COE (yung detailed COE na required ni EA) then i-request niyo na ayun ang ilagay.

Sa akin nga po nagpa-ulit pa ako ng COE dahil nagkamali ako ng nailagay sa draft ko and nabasa ko lang nung naissue na nila sa akin, so ayun request ako uli kahit medyo badtrip na sila sa akin.

Yung payslip pala is just another additional evidence of employment po so you still need the coe.

@joestrummer

Salamat sa response, sir.

I just called my ex-company this morning, medyo good mood naman yung HR Manager pero ang agreement namin is yung acknowledgement lang ng employment ko in that certain duration
of time na nagtrabaho ako at yung last position held lang ang ilalagay niya. Ang sabi ko naman basta me company letterhead at company stamp at least. (Reluctant talaga mag-issue ng testimonial letter.)

Another thing po, aside from that 3 po yung CoE ko pero puro generic, walang j/d so i was planning to draft job descriptions for them at papirmahan ko sa kanila bilang supporting documents sa mga generic CoE, me nabasa ako sa ibang topic na ganun ang ginawa kasi mga generic CoE ang nakuha nila. Acceptable po ba sa EA iyon?

Pagdating sa ctc po pwede ba dito SG ipa-ctc ang mga CoE na ito?

Salamat po sa payo.

davos_uno

Thanks joestrummer and lock_code2004. Yung documents na nasubmit ko sa EA is with a valid PRC license pa. maggeexpire lang sya this month...Siguro di ko nalang ipaparenew kasi not worth it din. di din kasi nila majustify purpose nila for the cpe points and membership in the org which you even have to pay not and knowing where it goes.salamat sa inputs

joestrummer

@davos_uno,

Yep lalo po sa amin sa ME. Ibang klase, 2 grupo ang PSME. Kelangan pareho mo ipamember para lang makarenew ka. Lang kwenta. I don't even see the importance or help of being a member in that group. Kahit newsletter or journal wala ka naman makukuha. Kung alam ko lang sa bulsa lang lahat napupunta yun.

Anyway sorry kung off-topic, just had to rant it out. hihi!

i have another question. about career episode. yung work ko kasi from 2009-2010 was only 9 months. di umabot ng 12 months kasi i moved here in UAE na. is that okay? thanks.

rylynn

@piglet are you going to discuss any projects with the 9 months experience.
i think mag isip ka pa iba mong projects or or mas matagal would be better.

Certified documentary evidence of employment [must
be provided if you have relevant work experience of
12 months or more, or if the work experience provides
a basis of a career episode(s)]
pls read MSA booklet it would be great help andun mga gusto ng EA.

piglet24

thanks sa reply. i was thinking of including that 9 months kasi under USAid siya it was a good exposure relative to my profession. I have COE namn for all of my work experiences.

joestrummer

@wizardofOz/aussiestotle

Idol meron po tayong points calculator dito sa board.
http://www.pinoyau.info/plugin/page/new-point-system

Pero for your sake po. Ito po points niyo.
Age: 30 pts
IELTS 7 LRWS: 10 pts
Educ: 15 pts
Work Exp: 15 pts

Total = 70 points

Magandang points po yan kung icecredit ng EA yung work experience niyo. Tapos sa age niyo saktong sakto kasi nasa brink ng limit for 30points.

Pa-correct na lang mga idol kung may mali ako sa pagbigay ng points kay idol Wizard. By the way ako din medyo nabulol sa dati niyo handle. Ahihi!

joestrummer

@wizardofOz,

Idol ano nga ba magiging 32 ka pa lang sa November or 32 ka na ngayon? Nasa isip ko kasi idol 31 ka pa lang ngayon then mag-32 sa November. Hihi!

wizardofOz

@lock_code2004 bro sige, pakisend na lang yung sample CDR ng Electrical Engineer sa:

[email protected]

@joestrummer bro bale 31 pa lang ako ngayon, sa nov 2013 pa ako mag-32. Yup nasa edge of glory na yung age ko whahaha... Sana before yung 33rd birthday ko next year eh napili na yung EOI ko hehehe

Musta sa inyo mga kabayan. First post po, gaya nyo interesado rin ako mag migrate sa Aus. Marami salamat sa mga tips nyo dito, malaking tulong talaga.

@ lock_code2004 , Hihingi rin sana ako ng sample CDR ng EE ,kung may ME sana ay mas maganda, medyo bago para sa akin ang gumawa nito di ko masimulan.

pasend sana sa email ko [email protected]

Salamat ng marami

lock_code2004

@pipoy - welcome to the forum.

pipoy

maraming salamat po @lock_code

Ambilis ng reply! , At nerecieve ko na agad yung una CDR. Mahaba haba nga pala itong CDR kailangan talaga i-recall ng maige ang past projects , experiences etc..parang kulang ang 1week sa paggawa lang nito...

Mabuhay po kayong lahat at ang pinoyau!

joestrummer

@pipoy

Kayang kaya niyo yan idol. Tiyagaan lang talaga yan. Kung one week medyo hindi nga ata kaya unless i-fu-fulltime niyo tapos yan for sure.

lock_code2004

@pipoy - it was very helpful that in our company we have documentation of all our improvement projects, technical papers, and my school projects..
so i was able to complete my CDR in one day..

goodluck po..

richardtan

Got this comment from EA -
"* We note that you worked in the Philippines from November 1995 to
September 2002. Consequently, we seek confirmation whether you were
registered with the Republic of the Philippines Professional Regulation
Commission to work as a Mechanical Engineer within this period? If yes,
we seek documentary evidence of such."

May problema ba kung hindi ako licensed Mechanical Engineer sa atin? I am currently working here in Dubai, and have work esperience here from 2002.
