Hello fellow medtechs. Pde po magtanong? BMLS po natapos ko 7 years ago but I only have 6 months work exp as a medtech sa pinas. If gusto ko po mag medtech sa au need ko po ba magaral ulit to be accredited? Thank you!

I talked to AIMS kaso ang labo nila kausap. sabi nila send lng daw ako requirements for assessment kahit sabot ko hndi ako aabot sa minimum req nila for exp. So tinanong ko what other things I can do to be qualified. Hindi daw nila alam... basta mag send lng ako ng requirements for assessment

The policy for the current financial year June 2020> @jcabz said:
You have to understand from their perspective, they need to see your documents before they can make their judgement. This is no different to an aspiring migrant asking a migration agent if they can lodge their eoi without providing the documents they have. An agent would need to see the documents to provide an accurate judgement.

I talked to them earlier. They gave me 3 options and all of them were to study either Bachelors', Masters' or a TAFE course + Work Exp.... the nearest accredited school for me is 6hours away so I don't think I have that much of an option. Maybe I'll make a career change instead.

It was recently announced that onshore applicants will be given priority over offshore and also other visa categories too.. GSM category is down for the current Australian financial year. This is in response to the pandemic as they need to focus on strengthening their economy. Hence, it’s unlikely to get an invite for this financial year....but this is for sure temporary. As the economy recovers, it is likely migration places will increase again. For now, best to focus on strengthening your case, making sure all your docs are compliant and lodge your EOI as early as possible so when all these restrictions are lifted, your EOI is already in place ready for an invite. This setback shouldn’t stop...just carry on but be more strategic.

Pag hindi nasama sa assessment ang employment, nagdagdag ng points at need magclaim, kelangan ng re assessment @Hear25 @Desert_Cowboy ..
So far sa friend ko mabilis ang re assessment nya,. Ang COE kasi nya until Jan 2019 lang, 7yrs and 10 months lang. So 10 points lang sya sa experience, ngayon nagwork ulit sya sa new company, nagpa reassess sya sa new experience nya. Nagclaim na sya ng 15 points sa experience. Nainvite at na grant na din.

end date: Dec. 16,2013 (date of the COE letter)
