    Dunno lang if this will always work, nakita ko din un mga sample statutory declarations and the 1 na meron link na pang-OZ. Pero ako hindi ko na ginawa yun, yun employment reference ko detailing my duties and responsibilities ako lang gumawa and then print ko. Tapos pinapirmahan ko lang sa person na mas mataas sa akin position sa company. Tinanggap naman ng ACS. Although maganda talaga siguro if statdec / and also nasa company letterhead if you could get your hands on one.

    Hi Bryann,
    D Tapos pinapirmahan ko lang sa person na mas mataas sa akin position sa company.

    Yup tama, kaya nga yun references ko write up talaga. Mga 3-5 pages each employer. Tapos pati COE, sinamahan ko photocopy ng company ID ng HR manager. Hahahaha. Tapos notarized din. Ayun hindi na sila tumawag or nag-email sa mga employer ko. Sa identity din, binigay ko notarized copies ng birth certificate and passport ko. Tapos nagsubmit din ako ng CV. Thank God nag-pay off naman yun efforts namin. Pero simula pa lang ito eh, matagal pa paghihintay. God bless sa ating lahat.
    Bilis...galeng!, congratulations!!

    Guys, para sa mga nakakuha ng IELTS ACS results lately, lahat ba may nakalagay na
    "Your from awarded has been assessed as comparable to an Australian Bachelor degree with Major in "

    May nabasa kasi ako sa ibang forums na hindi ata sa lahat nakalagay yan (it may be something new post July 2011 changes dahil sa education requirement ng DIAC). But better make sure na pag nakuha nyo yung result nyo, nakalagay yan para at least alam nyo na kung assessed as comparable to AU degree yung course nyo nung college... Pwede daw aa iparevise yung letter sa ACS to include that information sabi sa ibang forums.. Email lang sa CO na nagsend ng result

    May nakalagay na disclaimer sa letter na DIAC reserves the right to issue points though, so hindi pa rin sya sure na maka-claim ka siguro ng max points sa nikeclaim mong educational attainment, but at least may idea na how your qualifications compare sa AQF

    Ang sakit sa ulo ng DIAC at ACS ha? sarap pag-untugin sa ulo. Dapat wag na lang mag-comment ang ACS kung comparable ang education ng aplikante sa Australian degree kung di naman nila kayang panindigan yun sa DIAC. Eto namang DIAC, sana ipagkatiwala na lang sa assessing body ang pagbigay ng points sa overseas qualification.

    Goodluck na lnag sau itchan, painom ka sa min pag na-visa grant ka hehehe.

    Haay! kung retake kami sa IELTS wala na palang panahon mag apply sa Victoria dahil tsinek ko 3mos. or longer ang approval ng sponsorship nila sa amin kasi mag e-expire ang ACS assessment ng huband ko by May 2012, kaya sana itchan umubra yung 175 mo para no need na for us to apply sponsorship. Kulang kami ng 5pts. para makumpleto ang 65pts. go sana for sponsorship, tapos low availability na ang Analyst Programmer sa SA at sa NSW naman ang fear ko lang baka hingan kami ng Declaration of Financial Capacity.

    Question lang po ulit about statutory declaration.

    Question #1: Meron na kasi akong (1) standard COE from my previous employer and (2) reference letter from my previous supervisor containing details of my job. Pag pina-notaryo/stat dec ko na ba ito sa abugado, kelangan po ba attached yung original copies nung COE at reference letter? Or ok lang na CTC lang ang attached?

    Question #2: Pag pinasa ko na sa ACS yung Stat Dec na notarized na, ok lang ba na CTC lang? Or kelangan original? Kasi gusto ko sana itago yung original na Stat Dec na may dry seal at baka magamit ko pa sa future.

    Thanks in advance! Happy new year na din! :)

    Hi. Kung ano po yun scan and submit mo online sa ACS, yun din po ang kailangan mo ipadala through courier sa kanila na hardcopies. So I suggest just keep the originals, and only work with the CTCs that you have.

    Okay lang po b&w, basta po notarized. Visible un words na 'Certified True Copy of Original' ->(every page), meron details nun notary public, and meron contact details and roll # niya. Pra mas tipid pwede na b&w, laki kasi difference sa gastos. Remember umpisa pa lang ito ng gastos, hehe. Kaya ako kung makakatipid, magtitipid.

    @Bryann - Thanks po talaga sa mga info! Ngayong weekend na po pala ang IELTS exam nyo? good luck! :)

    Pahabol po ulit na tanong...yung sa current employer ko kasi parang natatakot ako humingi ng detailed COE kasi malalaman nilang aalis ako in the future kung sakali. Pwede kaya na colleague na lang ang pumirma ng reference letter instead na supervisor?

    Pwede mong i-request palagyan sa HR ng "This is not for clearance purposes" gusto mo lang kumuha for personal record. Ganun yung sinabi ng husband ko sa HR nila nun kumuha sya.

    Kung natatakot kang kumuha sa HR. Hingan mo na lang ang immediate supervisor mo ng Reference Letter. Mas preferred yun ng assessing authority kesa sa HR.

    Yup try mo na lang po suggestions nila, medyo mahirap nga po yan ganyan situation buti swerte ako na open minded yun mga manager ko and supervisor at naiintindihan nila yun plans ko for my family. :) Ako sinabi ko lang hindi naman agad agad if ever ang pag-alis matagal din ang processing. Baka hindi ako tumuloy sa 7th ng IELTS, medyo busy eh hindi ko naasikaso pati pag-review. Hopefully sa Jan. 21 matuloy ako. :)

    Question guys.. Kasi Systems administrator talaga ang linya ko. Pero sa SOL sched ngayon ang andun na malapit is Systems analyst. Pwede bang yun ang inominate ko? Any experience na close lang sa nominated skill nyo ang current or past work experiences nyo? Pano nyo ginawa yung sa COE/Duties and responsibilities nyo? Thanks

    Hi @nono, check mo na lang po if un job description ng Systems Administrator ay similar sa Systems Analyst kasi ang pagkakaintindi ko po magkaiba po yun. If yun job description niya is pareho, and yun tasks and responsibilities ng System Analyst ay closely related sa job experiences mo then go for it.

    IT jobs are relatively ambiguous, each occupation has a similar job duties to the other. ACS is aware of this. Tailor your CV/Reference letter to the nominated occupation you are applying for. You may have a Systems Administrator job title, but you can claim that your job duties are mostly for Systems Analyst.

    I worked as Programmer/Analyst in my early years after graduation, and for my last 7 years I've been doing more on Systems Engineering/networking. But i was granted positive skills assessment in Systems Analyst occupation.

    Lakasan lang ng loob at determinasyon. Lahat may paraan. Read between the lines. Cheers.

    Hi ask ko lang, if mg-lodge ka ba for skill assesment, dapat ipadala mo ang printed documents kaagad? And madali ba nila ma-rereceive yun if ever? Thanks.

    Hi ask ko lang, if mg-lodge ka ba for skill assesment, dapat ipadala mo ang printed documents kaagad? And madali ba nila ma-rereceive yun if ever? Thanks.
    depende sa ginamit mong means para makarating dun sa ACS ang dox mo kung by courier 3-5 working days-FEDEX or DHL. Na try na rin namin ang post office pero super tagal wag mo na i-try 24 working days yata yun lalagpas pa dahil sa weekends.

    Wow! totoo ba yan 24mos. na validity skills assessment ng ACS, at may naka indicate ng AQF comparable?...sana ganyan din last year nagpa assessed kami para hindi naman medyo malabo kunin ang 15pts. sa Educational Qualifications, now lang sila naglagay.

    @tootzkie
    Thank you so much for the information tootzkie. I needed your input and its very helpful to me.
    Question guys.. Kasi Systems administrator talaga ang linya ko. Pero sa SOL sched ngayon ang andun na malapit is Systems analyst. Pwede bang yun ang inominate ko? Any experience na close lang sa nominated skill nyo ang current or past work experiences nyo? Pano nyo ginawa yung sa COE/Duties and responsibilities nyo? Thanks
    IT jobs are relatively ambiguous, each occupation has a similar job duties to the other. ACS is aware of this. Tailor your CV/Reference letter to the nominated occupation you are applying for. You may have a Systems Administrator job title, but you can claim that your job duties are mostly for Systems Analyst.

    I worked as Programmer/Analyst in my early years after graduation, and for my last 7 years I've been doing more on Systems Engineering/networking. But i was granted positive skills assessment in Systems Analyst occupation.

    Lakasan lang ng loob at determinasyon. Lahat may paraan. Read between the lines. Cheers.
