hi @shobskie, I'm planning to have my skills assessed this month. Sa application po ba ako mamimili if Software Tester or Software Engineer? Nag work na ako for 10yrs, 3.5 yrs as a programmer the rest as a tester. Thank you.

shobskie

@baguiobeans yes, ikaw mamimili kung ano nominated skill mo. job title does not matter, as long as your roles and responsibilities are aligned sa description ng ANZSCO job code.

baguiobeans

@shobskie Thank you.

@shobskie congrats sayo! wala ng hininging additional docs sayo diba? I guess aabutin pa ng 1 month yung sakin. hehe. BTW, from Section 1 ba school mo?

@shobskie hi, si hubby software engineer din pero last week monday nya lang nasubmit sa ACS. Gaano katagal turnaround time nila sayo since nagsubmit ka?

shobskie

@baguiobeans welcome po

@agd nanghingi kahapon ng Marriage Cert since yung COE ng 1st job ko ay naka-maiden name. Section 2 school po. good luck sayo

@waderwander 42 days po sa akin, good luck kay Hubby

@einra2k2 i see, salamat sa advice! very generic lang kasi ung job description na nilalagay nung company ko sa COE nila at 2 months ko ng hinihintay ung COE na nirequest ko ( follow-up ko nlng.

Just received my ACS assessment results today. Positive, thank you, Lord!

Background lang, I am a Software Tester pero I was assessed suitable as Software Engineer. Automation and manual test ang experience ko, but most of my R&R ay tester tasks pa din.

Sa 2004-2017 work experience, 4yrs deduction, Bachelors Degree Major in Computing.

Congratulations! Sana positive din ang result sa aming waiting pa

papercut

Magsusubmit po ako ng ACS pero hndi ko makita ung "Attachment Type" na sinasabi nila?? Can you help? (see attached screenshot) Nagbago na daw kasi ung website?

waderwander

@mijikaye as far as I know, yes - since both are under same occupation ID: 2611. But strange almost 40% agad yung allotted.

Hi all,

I am new member here and I find this forum very informative and helpful to newbies like me. Nagsstart pa lang ako mg collect ng requirements for ACS.
Tanong ko lang since hinde ko xa mahanap on old threads.
Pwede bang ipa-certified true copy lahat ng docs sa Philippines kahit na ung ibang documents (like COE) ay given abroad?
Di na po ba need na ipa-authenticate ung docs sa Philippine Embassy?
Thanks in advance po and congrats sa mga kakareceive lang ng positive assessment

Hello - I'm starting to gather employee references, yung company ko last 2009 nag iba ng management, as per HR wala na daw akong record sakanila and wala na rin ibang employee na makakapag verify na employee ako since resigned na lahat.

Question ko is kung pwede ko bang gamitin yung old COE ko and mag pa sign na lang ako ng sworn declaration sa dati kong manager na ngayon is nasa ibang company na rin?

Thank you.

Ask ko lang po if ok lang magreply sa skills assessment person na nag email asking for additional docs? O dapat sa ACS portal lang talaga mag upload derecho ng docs? Nagreply kasi si ACS asking to upload an employment reference for one company pero naka upload naman sya initially sa website --reply sana ako sa kanya kung anong kulang na info dun?

mijikaye

@SAP_Melaka Thanks. baka madaming nagsubmit na 75 points. Ung first round 78 pa lang ung invited.

@papercut, upload diploma & employee references to qualifications & experience sections respectively. I saved my docs as qualifications.pdf, experience1.pdf, etc.

@baguiobeans yes, you can ask your manager to create/sign an affidavit and have it notarized

mijikaye

@waderwander yes, you can reply to the CO's email and attach your docs. You'll get a reply that they already received your docs and added it to your application. Known issues daw ung d madelete and attach ung docs and d nila alam kelan mafix.

baguiobeans

thank you, @mijikaye

waderwander

@mijikaye thank you!

mijikaye

@SAP_Melaka i read in expatforum na off by one row daw ung results. Ung 620 daw for software and app programmers. If that's true 156/1574 pa lang for BA/SA, almost 10%
