    sabi naman sa docu, past 6 yrs. so i think as long as pasok ung yrs of work exp mo sa loob ng past 6yrs pwede. basta wag ka lang mawawalan ng matagal ng work. just my two cents \m/

    @ylai - sorry im not sure with RPL, i hope someone from the forum who has the same condition as you are can comment.

    As for my question:
    How did you pay for your assessment in ACS? Credit Card or Transfer or Cheque? Kindly advise.

    Thanks.

    nag RPL ako, pero sorry i cant remember yun exact forms, tanda ko lgn madaming forms na kelangan sagutan. meron un form ng ACS< then meron pang form for RPL, i think meron tong parang 13 or 15 na categories, then u have to give an example per category to explain kung ano un knowledge mo para sa category na un. like database management, security etc.
    then u have to submit 2 project reports. eto un full detail ng projects na ginawa mo, at kung ano un role mo sa project. mas maganda if un project na ilalagay mo ay me full SLDC.
    im not sure if ganyan padin un RPL, kse 2009 pa ako nagsubmit.
    plus nag submit pa ako ng COE signed by my PM.
    i paid using credt card

    Question lng po before ako magsubmit ng requirements sa ACS, just to be sure ask ko opinion nyo...
    - tama po ba, no need to submit supporting documents as a proof/artefacts (e.g. payslips, tax certs, etc.) kung may mapoprovide akong certified true copy ng detailed COE with specific employment dates and job description? Or mas ok na isama pa din yung mga payslips kahit may COE na?

    - balak ko sanang i-submit nalang yung original payslip ko na may company stamp para sa isang statutory declaration ko kasi dalawa nman yung copy ko na original... kailangan pa kaya ipa-notarise din khit may original company stamp naman?

    :)
    yung lahat ng nabangit mo Iprovide mo lahat. yung payslip photo copy mo na lang. itry mo pa notarized kung hindi puede hayaan mo na isama mo yan iattach mo na rin. the purpose of payslip para mapagkumpara ang sa Tax mo. basta may maisubmit ka na documents the more the better. cheers

    @katlin924 and @bonzi: what's an RPL? I didn't mention anything about RPL and now I'm confused :( I just wanted to know what form to fill up to process an assessment with ACS. I'm doing the Skilled-Independent route, ung subclass 175.

    @totoyozresident: why would ACS need the payslip to compare the tax? aren't they supposed to simply assess if a person is eligible to claim points for obtaining a qualification that is equivalent to an australian qualification. aren't we to submit these types of documents when we do the actual immigration process with DIAC only? just my thought

    thanks totoyOZresident!

    I'm about to submit my requirements sa ACS... buti nalang nireview ko muna ulit lahat when I noticed na may discrepancy pala sa employment dates (year of employment) na nailagay ko sa StatDec, then isang employment certificate naman hindi nkalagay specific date, month & year lang... just to be sure nagrequest nalang ulit ako ng bago from my previous employer... and then need to go back sa austalian commission para ipasign yung bagong corrected statdec... additional delay & additional gastos pero mas mabuti na din... tama yung ibang nagpost dito sa forum, you need to read & review everything ng ilang beses talaga... sa dami ng documents minsan talaga pedeng may ma-miss out... just like to share :D

    Additional question nga pala, ndi na mention sa ACS website pero dapat ba fresh employment reference ang need i-submit? i mean dapat yung date ng certificate is issued recently i.e. 6mths before application

    Hope you can share your thoughts about this. Thanks in advance!

    @mimaahk I'm also planning to have my skills assessed by ACS, and after careful reading of the requirements and browsing through forums, wala po yata ako nabasa about that. The only documents that I think should be "fresh" and have limited validity are IELTS results, medical, NBI and police clearance. But those documents are to be submitted to DIAC, and not necessary for skills assessment by ACS.

    @ylai RPL or Recognition of Prior Learning po yata is if hindi po related yun natapos mo nun college sa nominated occupation mo. For example Business Management grad ka and then work mo is IT related kaya sa ACS ka magpapa-assess, even if hindi IT related un college course mo pero madami ka years of experience mo na ICT related.. possible na mabigyan ka suitable na assessment. =)

    what i mean is tax is a important supporting documents para sa patunay na Nagwork ka sa company na pinasukan mo. nakalagay sa tax ang name ng company at year kung kailan ka nag file ng income tax. well isinama ko ito nung nagapply ako ng PR para sa supporting documents ko sa company na pinasukan ko para patunay na may work experience ako sa trabaho ko ngayun. Pagdating naman sa assesstment ng skilled puedeng isama ito. its a supporting documents means optional kung gusto nyo isama sa isasubmit nyo o hindi. Mas mabuti na yung kumpleto at maraming documents.

    I agree po sa strategy ni sir @TotoyOZresident, mas madami mas maganda that way, hindi na ma-delay yun application because kulang ang documents or hindi sila satisfied mga binigay niyo. Depende po siguro talaga sa applicant if confident na sila na enough na yun submit nila na documents, and makapasa naman..good for them. :D

    if you are doing more on analysis and client facing, nominate Analyst Programmer, but if you spend most of your time coding go for Developer Programmer.

    Yup I agree with @aolee.. basically, check your job description to know what to nominate. Halos same naman yan lahat talaga.. onting difference lang.. pero para sure ka, check mo ung job description mo and ung tasks for each skill dun sa website para manominate mo ung pinaka-malapit na skill.. dati im torn between systems analyst and analyst programmer. pero reviewing the tasks, i think analyst programmer is more suitable for me. :)

    Kindly share how you send your applications. Thanks!
