Hello, question po, if ang work previously (2010-2014) is Tech support Engineer which job description is pwede sa Computer and Networks Engr, but ang job ngayon is Telecomms Engineer, is it okay po to ask ACS to evaluate the 4 years as Tech support, then 2014-present is hindi i-claim? Thanks!

auitdreamer

@miaka14 Yes. Only provide to them the documents for the years that you want them to assess or count towards points.

Ozlaz

Hi, required po ba ang CV sa ACS?

Hi po sa lahat.

My husband is an ECE graduate from a section 2 school and since Feb 2008 til now, he's into programming/IT job. He's currently based in Singapore and in the process of collating docs for his ACS assessment. Now the issue is, nag agency cya sa SG kasi nahirapan talaga cya sa RPL thing and now ready na sana ang lahat na docs then his agent told him that he need to include his jobs before Feb 2008 coz ACS might deduct 6 to 8 yrs from his work experience as his degree daw is not an ICT major degree. Tama bah yun? Anyone here na similar case as ours? Then yung work niya before Feb 2008 is not relevant to his nominated occupation naman. So may logic bah tong agent niya na to add more work experience and so if 8 yrs will really be deducted from his work experience (hope mali siya), then may matitira pa na 5yrs. By the way, yung jobs that the agent wants us to add is a total of 4 yrs and 8 months.

Hope anyone here can help us on this. Salamat po.

@dutchmilk I believe kung programming sya, ECE is tag as ICT minor. And di na need mag RPL. not 100% sure though.

Kung isama man nya yung old job nya, it will be tag as not related naman.

wait nalang ntin sagot ng iba.

dutchmilk

@Heprex so no point na isali yung non related jobs niya?

greatsoul

@dutchmilk tama si @Heprex , just include all previous work, pwede naman ideclare na not related yung job nya

dutchmilk

@greatsoul @Heprex ah okay po.

pero meron na bah dito na 8 yrs ang deduction sa work experience? ang laki naman ata nun.

Heprex

@dutchmilk based kase yun sa guidelines ni ACS, but havent read anything yet dito sa forum na may nadeduct na 8years.

Ang pinag tataka ko lang is bakit pa kayo pinag RPL. ECE is considered as ICT course based sa mga experience ng nadito.

Edit: ECE din ako.

dutchmilk

@Heprex kaya nga po. sa mga nababasa ko dito max of 5yrs lng. hay sana di totoo yung 8 yrs na sinasabi ng agent.

if may rpl or wala po bah, does it make a difference sa assessment namin?

Heprex

@dutchmilk yes malaki difference.

If mag RPL ka, skills lang maa-assess sayo. Hindi included ang education. at minimum 5-6 years nga ata dine-deduct nila.
And, need mo pa ipa-assess yung education mo sa VETASSESS PTA. another bayad.

If isang assessment lang which is ACS lang, kasama na education at skill mo. If maganda assessment sa inyo, baka Bachelors Degree with ICT minor, 4 years deduction lang ata yan.

dutchmilk

@Heprex ah ganun po bah. nasa Au na po kayo? kaya kami nag rpl kasi meron din kaming kakila na ECE grad and programming yung work nya sa pinas dati ang nag rpl cya.

Heprex

@dutchmilk nope wala pa, waiting for invite pa ako. read ka dun sa mga links na binagay ko. madaming exp ng iba dun na hindi sila nag RPL.

dutchmilk

@Heprex nabasa ko nga po kaso 2013 pa ata ang last post dun. thanks anyway sa sagot mo. sana pala di na kami nag agency. sayang lang bayad namin dun. no need na pala ang rpl.

bago lang ba ung agency nio? they took as engineerng course kaya kayo nirequire mag RPL.

dutchmilk

@Xiaomau82 15 yrs na ata cla existing dito sa SG. so you suggest wag na i submit ang rpl? ganun po bah?

no harm na isubmit ung rpl. pero cheaper ang hindi rpl. the number of years to be deducted will either 4 or 2 years. so if u want to claim more years of work experience, then include mo pa ung ibang work experience mo

dutchmilk

@Xiaomau82 kahit na yung ibang work experience is not related naman sa nominated occupation?

eujin

Hi guys.. may nakapagtry na ba magfollow up ng assessment sa iniyo? pano po? Wala pa rin kasi yung sa amen.. more than 2 weeks na.. or no need to worry pa muna kame? Hehe..

Heprex

@eujin as per ACS guidelines. 12 weeks. After nyan, saka lang pede mag follow up.

eujin

Thanks @Heprex .. weird lang kasi yung sa akin lumabas na after a week, pero ung sa wife ko lagpas 2weeks na wala paren. Sige wait nalang muna namen..

guenb

@dutchmilk if sure namn kayo na not related it's okay not to include that work. I agree na no need for RPL, kahit ECE yan worst case scenario nasa 5-6years yung deduction lang (regular assessment).

Heprex

@eujin normally mga 1 month meron na or less than 1 month. Kung maraming experience at employment reference, tingin ko medyo matagal. Ramdam ko mga 3 weeks meron na yan.

Hi Rich and everyone reading this.
I got my assessment just now. It reads as follows:

Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under XXXX (XXXX) of the ANZSCO Code.
Your qualification has been assessed as follows:
Your Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from University of XXXX completed March 2007 has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in computing.

The following employment after January 2009 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to XXXX (XXXX) of the ANZSCO Code.

03/05 - 07/09 (4yrs 4mths) Senior Engineer 2
07/09 - 01/10 (0yrs 6mths) Senior Engineer
01/10 - 07/10 (0yrs 6mths) Senior Engineer 2
08/10 - 09/11 (1yrs 1mths) Senior Software Engineer
10/11-02/13 (1yrs 4mths) Team Lead
03/13 - 01/17 (3yrs 10mths) Associate Manager

The following employment has been assessed as not suitable.
05/00-02/05 (0yrs0mths)
Test Technician 2 - Not Professional ICT Level Experience

Does this mean that I can claim 15 points for my education?
Also, does the result mean that I don't have sufficient # of years to claim 15 points for my skills because based on my calculation I fell short by few months to reach 8 years?
If I don't have sufficient # of years to claim for 15 points, is it advisable to wait for few months before I log EOI? Do I need to ask ACS again to add the additional months?

Please enlighten me!

Thank you!
