    @cchamyl Go! Submit it! Lahat naman ng bagay sa mundo sugal lang. Always be ready to take the risk and just always hope for the best. Ang pangarap naging totoo kung pagsisikapan mo at di magiging pangarap na lang.

    Do not chase your dreams... live it!

    Kaya mo yan :D

    Hi eveyone! Finally, i was able to submit my application sa ACS yesterday. I have checked my status today and a CO has been allocated to manage my application. Hoping for a positive response! For those who are still planning to have their skills be assessed by ACS, GOd bless us all!

    @cnel_26 - goodluck to you! :)

    Curious lang ako - ACS skills assessment does not involve IELTS requirement? Sa iba kasi, kailangan first and IELTS before they do skills assessment.

    Hi, I am currently organizing my documents for ACS Assessment. To those who got positive remarks from them, hope you can share kung anu ano yung mga pwedeng idagdag na documents for the assessment.

    Here's what I was planning to seek authentication from a Public Notary:

    Diploma
    TOR
    Detailed COE
    Resume (Kailangan pa ba?)

    What else do I need? Do I still need Course Description from the school? can't find a specific thread here for those with ACS Assessment.

    Thank you

    @olan - yes you can "front load" these requirements olan...

    I am sure it will just be a matter of weeks before they will assign you a CO - by then, it will all be just a waiting game as you have already submitted PCC and Medicals.

    Got it @psychoboy however, just when I thought everything will be easy for me in seeking assessment, I just found out that my documents where spilled with water (rain) because of our helper. Need to go back to school and ask for TOR and Diploma. Not sure on how I can get another copy of my UK Training pero siguro it will be ok kase portion of it lang naman ang nabasa.

    @sharean07 and @Geoff - if I may answer your query re: statutory declaration, please see below which I used. edit it as needed.
    I, XXXX, born on XX XXXX, 19XX, holding Passport EBXXXXXXX, do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that:

    I was a full time employee of XXXXXX from XXXXXX to XXXXXXX. I was assigned under the XXXXXX where I held the positions of XXXXXX during my tenure with the company. I have attached herein various various documents issued by the company to evident the same i.e. Certificate of Employment, Salary Pay slips,

    I declare that I am unable to provide an employment reference letter with detailed job scope on company letter head from XXXXXX as company policy only allows HR to provide a standard Certificate of Employment. This said document does not include any mention of my specific job scope.

    Furthermore I declare that I cannot be able to secure a testimonial from previous line managers as all of them are no longer connected with XXXX.

    To the best of my knowledge, I have outlined the below which were the specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to me during my tenure with XXXXXX.

    JOB DESCRIPTION HERE:

    You need to use the following document for the declaration:
    http://www.ag.gov.au/Statutorydeclarations/Documents/Statutory Declaration - Word.DOC

    NOTE: "Self-references from applicants in the form of statutory declarations cannot be accepted as evidence of employment. If you provide a Statutory Declaration with your application, it must be from a third party, not a self-made statement." -- from ACS

    Here is a sample detail I provided.
    ---
    I, [Name of Colleague],
    of [Address of Colleague]
    [Position of Colleage]

    1. I am a colleage of [your name] at [your company] with office address at [company office address].

    2. To the best of my knowledge, [your name] is a full-time employee of the company,
    [company name], from [start of your employment] up to present.

    3. His present position is of [your position].

    4. He is/was part of a team that developed:
    a. Product X
    b. Product Y
    c. Product Z

    5. He was a member of a team that developed [Product X] from Apr 2008 to Mar 2010 and assumed the following roles:
    a. [Role 1] - [description of role; responsibilities and tasks for the role]
    e.g. Development Engineer – he was part of the team that developed and maintained drivers. His tasks included development of new features, maintenance, testing, debugging, and correcting errors found in the drivers.
    b. [Role 2] - [description of role; responsibilities and tasks for the role]

    [List ALL roles, responsibilites/tasks]

    7. [Provide similar information as that of item 6 for Product Y]
    8. [Provide similar information as that of item 6 for Product Z]

    9. He developed software using XXX, YYY and ZZZ programming languages.

    10. He utilized the following development tools: [list of development tools used in your projects].

    11. Our employer [your company] does not provide its employees a detailed Employment Reference because it is against the company's policies to release such detailed certificate of employment documents and the only document they can furnish to their employees is a Certificate of Employment.

    [Your colleague should sign this, of course.]
    ---

    The important thing is that you provide the following information:
     Start & Finish Dates of Employment
     Description of Duties Performed
     Hours worked - Full time or Part time
     Country where Employment was Completed

    Hope this helps. Good luck!

    @TinaR

    Kung pwede lang makahingi sa previous company of my wife a detailed COE then we would not go through the hassle of creating our own Statutory Declaration (with corresponding S$60 fee per document) - unfortunately TinaR, hindi eh. They had only issue the standard COE which just included the inclusive dates of employment and last drawn salary.

    And yeah, naisip na rin namin yun na magbibigay ng draft for the HR Manager to review. Unfortunately, as indicated in the sample I gave above, I declare that I am unable to provide an employment reference letter with detailed job scope on company letter head from XXXXXX as company policy only allows HR to provide a standard Certificate of Employment. This said document does not include any mention of my specific job scope.

    Swerte ka lang cguro that you never encountered any trouble with whatsoever in your dealings with HR but sadly such is not the case for this.

    I think this goes to same with the rest of the people here who needed a detailed COE but had to resort to just getting a statutory declaration instead. It is not because they haven't spoken to the HR Manager and provided a draft of their COE BUT rather it is because for some reason they simply cannot be provided such document... :)
