How do we include the educational qualification in the assessment?
I understand that there's a fee for
(1) Standard skills assessment (CDR) which is $698.5
(2) and Australian Engineering Qualification which is $176
Pero dun sa Migration Skills Assessment form hindi nakalagay sa Assessment Specification table yung assessment ng Educational Qualification. How do we indicate that we want the Educational Qualification to be assessed?Or automatic na ba yun? Medyo nagulumihanan ako.
Here's the link to the form:

Thanks! And sorry I think this should be posted on the EA Assessment thread.

Background ko sa Pilipinas is Demand Planning so most ng mga na-interview akong position is for Allocator or Demand Planner. Like the others say, importante sa mga company dito ang prior experience, gusto nila pagstart mo di ka na masyado tuturuan.
Yung nakuha kong work though is not directly related sa industry or role ko before pero parehong skills ang ginagamit.

It was a pretty smooth process for me, so thanks to other 476ers who shared their experiences here. It's proven to be helpful!
Ongoing plan is to save up more money pa and decide which area/region best to go to given my credentials and skills, and of course find employment.
I was initially set on moving by April 2015 but after reading more about visa 189, I wanted to plan as early as now for it. Nakakainis kasi na hindi pa umabot un IED ko sa 3rd year ko sa work (02 June 2015) so I can claim the 5 pts once assessed by EA para sa preparation for 189. Currently kasi, I'm estimating I only have 55 pts (Age-30 pts, English Language Ability-10 pts, Qualification/Education-15 pts). I'm thinking of possible solutions to get at least 60pts the soonest, I hope you can help me decide on which is the best course of action or if you have better suggestions rin.
Option A: File VL in current work, fly to AUS and return to MNL before IED (29 May 2015), probably week before that, for the sake na hindi ma-invalidate yun 476. Then I file resignation by June(3 years work experience) and fly back again to AUS. (Controllable option but expensive)
Option B: Retake IELTS and get 8 in all modules. (Depends on the result but cheaper)
So far, yun pa lang naiisip ko. Or am I thinking too much ahead of time?
Thanks!

I need your help. Gusto ko na kasi i-lodge yung application ko this June (or May), kaso wala pa yung results ng IELTS ko. I could wait for the results kaso ma-eexpire na yung eligibility ko to apply for the visa subclass 476 this June 2015. Would you know kung puwede na i-lodge ko na yung application ko without the IELTS result, to follow na lang yun?
Anyway, kung hindi talaga puwede, I think I would take TOEFL instead. I heard that TOEFL is more difficult? Meron po bang nag TOEFL dito na puwede nya i-share experience nya? Hehe.
Please help me guys. Thanks in advance!

What i might do if i were in your situation is i'll lodge the visa application 2-3 days before my eligibility expires.

If you've lodged your visa 476 with all the requirements attached, will a case officer still be assigned to you? or it will directly go through visa acceptance/rejection na?
