    Hi guys.

    NEW here and I need help. Will start processing 189 visa, and unahin ko sana tong Skills Assessment (ACS).

    Personal Info:
    • 26 yrs old.
    • Graduate of BS-Information Technology in UE Manila.
    • Working as SAP Consultant since Nov 2012
    Questions/Help needed :)
    • For ACS Assessment, SAP consultant may fall under ICT Business Analyst or Systems Analyst. Ano ma-advise niyo po na ipa-assess sa dalawa? Same lang kasi lahat "Employment Duties" and "Description of Closely Related Core ICT Units" sa ANZSCO Code InformationVersion 42017 . So hindi ko alam under what code talaga kami? Meron po ba dito SAP consultants rin? Technically, we're doing both talaga - business and systems analysis.

    • Sa ACS ba, since 5 years ang work experience ko outside Australia as IT, babawasan nila ng 2 years. So a total of 3 years lang ang credited kong work experience? If so, this is only 5 points?

    • I also noticed for IT professionals na halos lahat po kayo is more than 5 years work experience na, do I need to gain more years of experience before I start processing? :(

    • Thank you in advance! :)

    @HELEN28 I think System Analyst po yung inyo but double check mo na lang kung saan ka mismo mag fall.

    - 2 years yun minimum na deducation ng ACS. if ma assessed ka as bachelor's degreee at closely related yung experience mo 2 years lang yun ma deduct sayo but kung ma assessed ka as diploma at closely related and exp mo 5 years and deduction. mag vary yun sa section ng school mo.

    - more than 5 years yung mostly nag apply kasi may possibilities na baka mabawasan ng 5 years so nagsisigurado lang siguro at syempre para makakuha din ng points sa work experience.

    @HELEN28 firstly, Business and System Analysts have distinctive tasks listed under ANZSCO so you need to double check which one applies to you. If you do both, choose one which you think you can provide more evidence. Ikaw Lang ang makakadecide nyan. With regards to years of experience to be deducted, if your university is under section 2 of the Country Education Profile, your degree will be recognised as associate degree Lang meaning 5 years mababawasan unless average grade mo is at least 2.0 or higher

    @xylocke -- thank you!
    Hindi e, talagang functional lang ginagawa ko, pero may skills naman mag ABAP. Yun nga lang sa R&R ng functional, hindi kasi yun kasama.

    Ilan years po total work experience mo as SAP SD? (so dineduct nila ng 2 years) And ilang total points nakuha mo from ACS?

    @RheaMARN1171933 - oo nga po e, pero kasi same din na ginagawa namin siya. Yung one-liner description nilang dalawa sa ANZSCO, applicable talaga yun sa ginagawa ko.

    Saan po pwede makita yung about sa recognition nila depende sa school? I saw under Section 2 yung university ko, pero would it matter po ba if you have honors?
    Kasi kung 5 years lang din ibabawas sakin, sayang naman po - at wag na lang siguro muna ako pa-assess if ganon. Sayang bayad. hehe

    @Hunter_08 THANK YOU! Yung isang SAP SD - ICT Business Analyst siya nag paassess. Nag pa consult rin ako sa Respall, sabi nga nung agent ICT Business Analyst daw. Pero kung mas marami backlog ang ICT Business Analayst, baka mag Systems Analyst na lang ako?

    Section 2 lang yung school ko, pero sana may bearing if may honors? and if SAP Certified, would you know if may bearing po yun?

    @HELEN28 if that's the case, you would need to decide which occupation you can provide the most evidences at the end of the day, there should be a role that dominates your profile. All assessing authorities considers qualifications based on the Country Education Profile which is linke to the Ministry of Education. Only institutions and professionals subscribe to this hence the reason why I can easily check. Like what I mentioned if your average grade is at least 2.0, they'll recognise this as bachelor degree equivalent.

    Skills assessment timing is a bit of catch 22 wherein if you do it now you risk on claiming more years but if you do it later, you risk the possibility of the occupation being off the list as well as changes in rules. Have a think about your plan of delaying it. If they are to take 5 years, you would need to wait at least 3 years to claim at least 5 points. By then, potentially rules have changed and you might not be eligible anymore (no one knows)...is it worth waiting? I normally won't advice my clients to wait. Good luck!

    @RheaMARN1171933 thank you so much!! :)

    BTW - where can I see the official list of Country Education Profile? I saw from one of the MARA registered agencies that my school is under Section 1. But the link from this forum, under Section 2 siya. So I'm not sure which is the latest?

    The official list is through subscription basis. Like what I mentioned, institutions and professionals subscribe to this list and it's not open to the public. The one you saw probably was an extract list and may not be the most updated versions.

    @HELEN28 please see attachment. Galing to sa CEP, may subscription pa pala ko. :)

    So, most likely, equivalent to AQF Bachelor's Degree yung sayo with 2 years deduction sa work experience. Hope it helps!


    261312 Developer Programmer - (English - 20pts | Age - 30pts. | Qualification - 10 | Experience - 0 ) = 60pts.

    Subclass 189 - 60pts.
    Subclass 190 - (60 + 5 spouse points + 5 SN) = 70pts.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    Essay synonyms

    Discuss- cite, mention, illustrate, narrate, elucidate, talk about

    Finally.. Concluded, In Summary

    Democracy- representative govt; elective govt; republic; commonwealth

    Vote- suffrage, ballot, poll, elect officials, select leaders, appoint, designate

    Leaders- officials, officer, commander, chief, head, principal of nations, pioneer, front runner

    Environment- habitat, territory, domain, surroundings

    Computer- PC, laptop, netbook,desktop, terminal, mainframe

    Robot- automated individual, android, automaton, golem, bot, droid,

    Invention- creation, innovation, development, design

Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    Question po, kapag po ang nakuha sa assessment is:

    Your Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Mapua Institute of Technology
    completed ** has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a Major in computing.

    anu po ang dapat ilagay sa education history sa EOI? Bachelor Degree in Science o Bachelor Degree (other)? tapos ang course po na ilalagay is still Information Technology? tama po ba na dapat magrefer ako sa assessment ni ACS?

    Thank you!

    @kaloidq hello po, nka pag submit ka na ba sa EOI? Anong inilagay mo? same tayo nang assessment from ACS kasi

    @HELEN28 I think System Analyst po yung inyo but double check mo na lang kung saan ka mismo mag fall.

    - 2 years yun minimum na deducation ng ACS. if ma assessed ka as bachelor's degreee at closely related yung experience mo 2 years lang yun ma deduct sayo but kung ma assessed ka as diploma at closely related and exp mo 5 years and deduction. mag vary yun sa section ng school mo.

    - more than 5 years yung mostly nag apply kasi may possibilities na baka mabawasan ng 5 years so nagsisigurado lang siguro at syempre para makakuha din ng points sa work experience.

    @Hunter_08 THANK YOU! Yung isang SAP SD - ICT Business Analyst siya nag paassess. Nag pa consult rin ako sa Respall, sabi nga nung agent ICT Business Analyst daw. Pero kung mas marami backlog ang ICT Business Analayst, baka mag Systems Analyst na lang ako?

    Section 2 lang yung school ko, pero sana may bearing if may honors? and if SAP Certified, would you know if may bearing po yun?

    @chmscrbbrfck Hello, Mapua Makati is Section 2.

    To get bachelors degree, you need an average grade of 1.00 to 2.00 for 4 years full time study with less than 185 units.

    If grades is below 2.00, associate degree will be given.

    Bachelors degree ka din if you take 5 years full time with 200+ units and/or have evidence passing PRC.

    You can be assessed as AQF bachelors degree din, if you are tag as associate degree and completed your masters after your bachelors with at least 30 units.

    Hi everyone,

    I am planning to start applying for 189 visa but might need some advise regarding my quite tricky situation. First, I would like to give you my background.

    I have been working here in Brisbane for more than 2 years now as a Analyst/Developer under 457 visa. I was granted 457 visa on July 2015 and I worked for my sponsoring employer until April 2017 (less than 2 years). I then applied for a job with another employer and thankfully got hired. They processed the transfer of my 457 visa sponsorship and I am now working for them.

    I started my career in IT in 2006 in Manila and I have been a programmer/developer ever since. I had worked for several companies in Manila.

    Now, my questions are:
    - will I have issues with ACS assesment since I don't have IT college degree? (I am a Mathematics graduate with very little IT subjects in my transcript. Btw, I am a graduate of a section 1 uni.)
    - will there be an issue if I wouldn't be able to provide all work references since some of them are already gone?

    TIA
