@zha_mauve you should definitely file an Appeal of application. Not review of application, yung review kase is if you want to be assess on a different anzco code, or may details sa work reference mo na hindi nila madetermine. You have the 100% chance for a successful appeal, since section 1 school mo. Ipamuka mo sa kanila mismo yung guidelines nila sa reason to Appeal. hahaha
Bachelor degree must have:
• 33% ICT content for a 3 year course
• 25% ICT content for a 4 year course
• 20% ICT content for a 5 year course
Since ECE ka, sure yan na at least 20% ng units mo is related to ICT.
you can read further dito sa page 203 ng ACS thread.

Hardware focused ang ECE kasi tapos systems analyst is more inclined to software systems, so better check first if you really exceed 20% of the required subjects before you lodge your re-appeal.
Computer engineering ako so hybrid ng hardware and software, but software related yung code ko, therefore ang dineduct sa akin is 4 years. I think worst case scenario eh dapat 4 years lang din ang dineduct sayo instead of 5 para makapag claim ka ng 5 years work experience which will qualify you to claim 10 pts.

My tanong lng po ulet ako mga Sir, nagkaroon po kasi ako ng confussion sa pag pag move forward ng skill na papareview ko sa ACS which is (262111-Database Administrator). Ung skill ko po kasi na ito diba need pa po ng state sponsorship (based sa mga nabasa ko dito sa forum mostly is sa vitoria ung my sponsorship).
What if this July po, close na pala tong skill na to for state sponsorship, so mamasayang lng po ung asessement ko sa ACS right?
Ung other option ko po kasi is Software Engineer, kaso medyo kulang po ung experienced ko sa field na to. I think mga 3 years lng less lng papasok dito.
Salamat po ulet sa mga sasagot!
Merry Christmas!

Hi Rich, pwede po ba magtanong regarding the employment reference? The certifications that my previous employers issued to me just provided the information such as the start and end dates of my employment and the position before I left their companies.
Will that suffice for ACS assessment?
Ganito rin ba ang certifications na prinovide ng mga companies nyo o kaparehas ng ACS format kaagad ang meron kayo?
If not, paano po ginawa nyo para ma-satisfy yun ACS requirements?
Thank you in advance.

You can:
1. Ask your manager to provide one for you.
2. Prepare your own COE and ask your manager to sign it.
3. If option 1 and 2 aren't possible, ask a higher ranking colleague to sign a statutory declaration.
