hahaha!ok lang no tulungan tayo dito.
Pinakamatagal yung Stage 4, halos 3wks everyday ako nag checheck ng result ko kung pasado na. haha. Saktong 1 month lumabas result. Yung Stage 4 ko pa nga naging 'Case Finalised' then sa email andun na yung PDF na result. ang saya!

stynx

@mikssim nung stage 4 ka ba hiningan ka pa ng iba pang info or docs? kc dba kung my need pa silang docs dapat sa stage 3 yun. so meaning once nsa stage 4 na eh more on verification of docs na lang gagawin nila. kasi sa case ko yung current company ko eh self satutory declaration ang ginawa ko. mention ko na d nagbibigay ang company ng my job scope at mention ko din na d ako mkahingi sa senior manager kasi bka makaapekto sa performance rating ko. pero sana iconsider nila yung current work exp ko.

stynx

bka meron po dyan na graduate ng AMA at computer science ang course, ano po result ng acs nyo bachelor or diploma? 4 yr course kc yun pro three years ko lng kinuha kasi tri sem. thanks

cchamyl

hi guys... Hope anyone can give me an insight on what can i do next. Received my ACS assessment this day. It was 'Unsuitable' as it says that i do not have an Tertiary Qualification (AMA CLC Computer System Design n Programming 2yr course), they have credited my experience 5.6 yrs. I have submitted everything i have but still no luck, i guess this is the end of the road for me.:) Nag bigay sila ng suggestions, review or appeal baka ganon pa rin cguro ung result. I know i can go for an RPL route, but still i need 2.6 yrs of experience.

Has anyone had a successful assessment similar to my course?
What about verdor certification can it help even na una yung experience?

@stynx, AMA din ako (QC), BSCS. Na assess lang yung degree ko as AQF Advance Diploma with a major in computing. So 10 points lang ang ma ka claim ko para sa education

stynx

@blitzk ilang years of experience ang kailangan pag diploma? dpat ba 6years or pwede din khit 5 years?

Hi Franz,

i think and I would suggest na mas maganda mag pa certify ka like MCSA or MCSE (yan ba yung tinatanggap nila sa ACS) or CCNA, mas madali magpacertify kaysa mag aral ulit para maging Degree yung diploma course mo.

Or any cerfication na tinatanggap ng ACS na related sa experience mo and short course.

Or, mag student visa ka pa OZ.

mikssim

@cchamyl 261314 code ko. btw, nun natanggap ko yung result ng acs ko, nag lodge na ako ng SS (haha excited much). Then today, nag respond na sila through email na kelangan ko iupload yung ielts test report form ko which is nakalimutan ko ata i attach dun sa application ko. Sana mabilis lang ng maapag file na ng EOI.

hinde na ako hiningan ng docs. usually sa stage 2 pa lang ata ichecheck na yung completeness ng sinubmit mo. kung ok na dun automatic na mag jump na sya sa stage 4. isang company lang inde nagbigay ng coe with job duties sa akin so nagpagawa na lang ako ng 2 employment reference sa mga naging kateam ko then pinanotarize ko. ok naman, na recognized lahat ng companies ko.

hi.. if you have read other post, AMA BS degree is assessed as equivalent to AU diploma,
therefore AMA diploma will be assessed as comparable to AU certificate... so practically and realistically speaking, eto ang mga options nyo:

- check RPL requirements
- check if pwede na masatisfy ang ACS with vendor certifications + your diploma
- apply for student visa for a course related to IT.. then you can work part-time
- mag-aral ulit to get a degree, then re-apply after...

Goodluck!!

stynx

tanung ko lang kung ang AMA Bachelors Degree (AU Diploma) ilang years of experience dapat para mag suitable? 5 years or 6 years? i am BS Computer Science graduate with 7 1/2 years of experience pero d ko sure kung i accept ng ACS ang (1 1/2 year)current job ko kc self statutory declaration ang ginawa ko kc hindi ako makahingi ng detailed coe sa senior manager ko. so far nag jump naman agad cya sa stage 4. any idea guys?

@stynx, if AU Diploma and closely related yung occupation mo its 5years experience. if not closey related naman 6 years dapat.

about sa self statutory, nasa commonwealth country ka po ba? parang nabasa ko dito na pang commonwealth country ang statutory declaration and if you are going to use it, hindi puede ang self statutory declaration, statutory declaration should be coming from a 2nd party, a colleague sa trabaho na same level if you are holding a senior role or mas higher level.
subukan nyo pa din po kung ano yung meron kayo, baka iconsider naman.

Nag tanong ako regarding sa outcome ng assessment eto yung sagot nila ‘In regards to your application, the assessor has advised that your qualification was not recognized and therefore not assessable’. So, d talaga recognized yung 2yrs AMA CLC Diploma (Zamboanga). I don’t know on other branches. Tinangap nila yung experience, pero bagsak ako sa education.:( They have suggested some vendor certifications relating to my experience, they are comparable to an AQF Diploma with an ICT major. I can probably go for that, or RPL route requiring additional yrs of experience. Student visa, costly masyado… I don’t have that much.:) Time will come soon... Thanks guys and goodluck…

hello po newbie lang ako. madami po ako question hoping na may makasagot.

nagready ako ng documents for ACS assessment last year ng december kaya lang yung 1st company di pa nagbibigay ng COE with detailed duties and responsibilities until now, equivalent pa naman sya ng 1yr experience. kasi total ko is 5yrs including the 1st company. may alternative document ba na pwd ako ipasa?

total ng 3 companies ung kinunan ko ng COE kasama ung present company ko, kaso yung nakalagay na date sa COE from my present employer from October 2008 to Present (Dec 2011) kasi nga last year ko pa yung hiningi. sa tingin nyo pwede ko pa yun ipasa o hihingi pa ko ng bago?

one more thing, diba yung mga requirement na kailangan is
- passport
- COE with detailed duties and responsibilities (from my 3 companies)
- diploma
- TOR
lahat yan sa notary public lang ipapacertify?

salamat po sa mga sasagot.

legato09

@Aprilcruise

Mas maganda kung makukumpleto mo yung COE mo and yung experience mo na 5years.
depende kasi sa inonominate mo na occupation dun gagamitin yung experiences mo, puedeng andun pala sa unang trabaho mo yung concentration nung experience na hinahanap nila tapos hindi mo naisama, so sayang naman.

Then dun sa number of working experience mo in comparison sa assessment ng ACS baka mamaya kapusin ka din for example:

'"if AU Diploma and closely related yung occupation mo its 5years experience. if not closely related naman 6 years dapat." kapag AU Degree naman, oks na ang 2 years or 3 years.

Mas maganda kung hihingi ka ng up-to-date information para wala na sila tanong tanong sa COE mo.

about sa CTC ng documents, yes lahat ng copy ng mga nabanggit mo, sundin mo yung requirements ng ACS about sa CTC like, dapat lahat ng pages may seal or stamp, signature nung tao, and etc. para iwas tanong tanong.

stynx

gusto ko lang po manigurado. hehe. graduate po ako ng AMA so katumbas nya is AU Diploma. bs computer science natapos ko. ang work exp ko is IT associate, programmer, senior software eng, systems analyst team lead ako ngyon. analyst programmer naman ang nominated occupation ko sa acs. so closely related nman yung mga exp ko sa natapos ko dba so 5 years ang need kong experience. pasencya na. kulit ko hehe
