Hello po!
Ask po ako ng advise ninyo, BSC in Management Accounting ang degree ko.
work experience ko naman ay lahat bilang software tester.
nakagawa na po ako ng RPL ready for ACS assessment.
working na rin po ako dito for more than 2 yrs sa ngayon holding 457 visa as Software Engineer, (pero ang ginagawa ko po talaga ay pang tester)
nalilito po ako kung software engineer or software tester yung aapplyan ko. ang nasa COE sa past employments ay lahat bilang pang tester.
tsaka, kailangan ko po ba magpa-assess rin sa Vetassess para sa Bachelor degree ko?
maraming salamat po sa tulong ninyo!

Hello po, Software Tester po ko for 5 years. I checked the description for software tester and sakto sa ginagawa ko. Pero naconfuse na po ko dun sa tasks enumerated kasi parang general sya for software engineer or more on pang programmer sya. Ano pong nilagay niu sa employment evidence niu ng software tester? Thanks po in advance.

If the company can provide it in one ER it's better kasi yan yung nasa guideline:
"Breakdown of any earlier roles and list of duties the applicant may have performed for the same employer – if applicable"
The company would indicate your start date and 'To date' so understood na yun that it's inclusive of previous and new position/roles.

Hello! Need your help!
My husband started working as Network Engineer in 2015 (as stated in his contract). But when he recently requested for COE, apparently they changed his position name to Computer Technician. Same company, same job responsibilities as Network Engineer.
The reason why they changed the position is because of new management.
Will there be any problem for the following?
1. His contract states Network Engineer. No new contract to support Computer Technician just the new organizational chart
2. Position name is Computer Technician even if his job responsibilities are as Network Engineer

Hello! Another question po, yung Diploma and TOR ng husband ko nakaredribbon, kung iscan namin sya with high definition, tatanggapin pa din kaya ni ACS?
Hindi na kasi namin mascan yung original document ng diploma ng asawa ko since nasa Saudi kami ngayon. We only have the DFA red ribbon for Diploma and TOR.

Hi, pwde po makahingi ng sample ng explanation letter? Kasi kailangan ko rin ata iexplain bakit stat dec lang ang pnrovide ko dahil hindi naman nagbbigay ng coe na may jd yung company ko. Salamat po!
Joined: Nov 01, 2019
Not sure why your company does not give coe with JD. They should as it is your right as well as you are / were employed with them. CoE is a document, a legal proof, that you are/were employed in that company.

Generic lang po na COE ang binigay ng company and hindi daw talaga sila nagbibigay ng job description kaya humingi po ako ng stat dec sa Leader ko but as per ACS guidelines kailangan rin magprovide ng explanation letter kung bakit stat dec lang pnrovide.

As I've been receiving a lot of inquiries on explanation letter I have attached my template here. This worked for me, and might work for future applicants too. I opted for a notarized stat dec para makasiguro lang na iaaccept nila.
1. I suggest you ask your HR if they can provide you an explanation letter na hindi sila nagiissue ng detailed JD. Any confirmation via email is enough. Print/scan at isama nyo as supporting document.
2. Explanation letter - wala naman sa guidelines na gumawa ng stat dec for this pero para makasiguro ako ginawan ko nalang din kesa magsisi pa diba. So I submitted a Stat Dec myself as declarant with explanation letter from HR - see attached template po and tailor nyo nalang depending on the information you got from your HR.
3. In my opinion kung wala kayong makuhang any explanation/confirmation from HR, a stat dec explaining due to policy/confidentiality ek ek hindi nagiissue si company is enough and should be your best option kasi legalized document naman sya.
God bless po!

Submitted my docs to ACS last Nov.22 fo assessment and today I received an email from them stating that my credentials are “suitable”. Surprisingly mabilis compared dun sa note na it would take 8-10 weeks para makuha result. Next step namin ay submission ng EOI.

Hi guys, would like to ask if I can already go through ACS skill assessment with only 4years and 7 months work experience. But I will apply EOI once I am already on my 5th year. Will I still get the 5 points credit or should I wait til my 5th year tsaka palang mag pa assess sa acs?

Gamitin mo na lang software tester since yun naman na naka indicate sa COE mo. Though di naman strict ang ACS. Business Analyst ako pero nakapag pa assess ako as a Software Tester hahaha
about sa question mo kung need mo magpa assess sa Vetassess, check mo muna ano section nung school mo. Kapag 1 sya, no need ka na magpa assess sa vetassess. I got this information from another person who also applied for RPL at nasa Oz na rin as PR.

Hello everyone,
My assessment came back yesterday.
"Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migraton under ANZSCO Code 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer)."
"comparable to an AQF Associate Degree with a Major in computing" - Associate degree means di sya recognized as bachelors degree am I right?
Tapos 4 years lang ang pwede ko ma claim as relevant

Hi @renly2328,
Yung dalawang employment ko nag attach ako nang BIR,sss,coe stating my salaray. Wala na akong mahanap na payslip para sa previous employment ko na yan. Yung coe is yung general coe lang stating my salary and benefits and aside pa dun sa coe na may mga job description. Positive naman assessment nya.

UPDATE ON PAG-IBIG SUMMARY OF CONTRIBUTION:
I called up their hotline, and they mentioned they can only give me current year's summary of contributions over the phone or via email, since it's the same group who will receive the inquiry via email. Looks like this group is more of their frontline Customer Support who only have access to the current year.
The only way to obtain the full summary of contributions is to go to a PAG-IBIG branch, they said.
On a personal note, since I am overseas and unable to go to a PAG-IBIG branch, I'd still try to reach them via email and explain my situation. I will post updates here as soon as I get any feedback.
