Wala pong bearing ang GWA. Kung section 2 school mo, macoconsider ka lang for bachelor kung pumasa ka sa licensure exam.

Dyan sa EOI yes, it will ask you how many family members you intend to include in the application. If you have a partner, it will also ask you if you're including your partner in the application and if he/she has relevant occupation / english test.

Question po, I have 5 years worth of experience sa client ko from AU, but here in the Philippines 2 BPO ang pinangalingan ko with the same client. Ok lang ba humingi ako directly ng reference letter sa client ko? Yung isang BPO kase ayaw makipag cooperate, spent 1.9 year with them, yung 3 years from other BPO ok lang skanila.
If yung directly from client ang isusubmit ko, tatangapin ba ng ACS?

Hindi magmmatch sa payment evidences mo yung reference letter na manggagaling directly from client in case. Usually pag under BPO sa pinas, nasa BPO naka-name yung payroll related stuff di ba?

Thank you! My course does have a licensure exam so hopefully macoconsider nga nila

yes po, under BPO. yung first BPO kase ang hirap kausap at ayaw iprovide yung yung COE with JD and other stuff. Gusto yung plain COE lang with the usual details. Though I have payment evidences like payslip, form 2316, and statutory benefits payment to support.
Iniisip ko nalang na magpagawa ng statutory declaration kaso yung manager ko is nasa AU.

Yes, better pa tong Stat Dec. Then ipa-indicate mo nalang na employed ka through that BPO. Para mai-connect pa rin sa mga payment evidences.

Thanks, di kaya magka conflict if from AU pa yung statutory declaration? My previous manager is willing to help, even yung HR na nasa AU.

For me, hindi yan magcconflict since sa Au company naman talaga narender yung service mo. What you can do is ask the BPO if they can indicate in your regular "COE" na ang client mo talaga was yung nasa AU. This way, congruent ang references.

One of the problems talaga yang mga ganyang employers pagdating sa documents gathering. Hay.
Kung ayaw makipag-coordinate nung BPO (we can consider this as the agency di ba?) then, baka sa Stat Dec from Au client, they can add sa attestation that you worked for them through explaining na may 3rd party recruitment etc. Ayun nalang eh, take the chance na mai-submit mo sa ACS kesa naman hindi mo itry. Sayang yung 1.9years eh. Goodluck.

Hi Guys, Today I received an email from ACS requiring additional documents. They require three forms of ID's daw. Nag submit na ako before dun sa personal details ng passport - pdf, uae id (w photo) at residence visa(w photo) - same pdf, at CV pdf.
Sa email nila nakalagay ang 3 forms of ID's na required
diba po ung vevo or ImmiCard pag nasa Australia na?
Sa email po sabi:
All required documents must be uploaded at the same time and in PDF format (other formats will not be accepted). -- need po ba na isang PDF file lng lahat?
Please ensure when uploading the requested documents, the file name must be re-named - eg:FileName-UPDATED. - ung mga previous files na na upload ko passport-Updated lng ung na update ko kasi ung iba new files.

na-assess po as Associate Degree ang BS in Computer Engineering po. wala rin pong licensure exam ang course na to. worth it po bang i-appeal ko to?

Hi Guys, another question. I have this 1 year work experience, apparently, nagsara na yung company dahil na bankrupt. The work experience that I had is related the skills that I am applying for assessment. Natabi ko lahat ng payslips ko and form 2316, also have SSS and pag ibig screenshots. What I have here is an old COE as well as the Job offer. Is there any way na maisama ko to?

hello po! I graduated from PLM po, section 2. kaya po natanong ko kung mag-appeal ako kasi wala naman po akong mapprovide na Licensure Exam since wala naman po talaga for this course. kasi po if some courses na may licensure exam, pwede ireconsider, paano po sa ict courses na wala talagang board?
Joined: Sep 18, 2023
is your COE updated? like does it follow ACS format and needed information? i dont think updated yung COE kasi nakalagay dapat employment end date mo. the solution here is stat declaration

From Accenture mismo? Sa initial request ko kasi ay nabanggit ko naman for Australian PR application and I specifically said na required ung mga details. Paano ka po nagreach out sa DOLE? via email ba?
Joined: Sep 13, 2023
Correct, wala syang end date. We were all laid off and walang natangap na COE after it closed down.
Problem with stat declaration wala din COE yung lead ko that time.. Hirap!

That’s correct. Assessing authorities do not have a say on the qualification. They refer to the country education profile CEP like any organisations/authorities out there.

Hello! Meron po ba dito nag-submit ng COE/Employer Reference letter dated 4-5 years ago and naka-receive ng positive assessment? Format required and details needed ay nakalagay naman po sa lumang COE. Hindi na po kasi nagrerespond si previous company na humihingi ako ng updated (dated 2023) reference letter. Maraming salamat.
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
If it’s previous employment, the date on the letter shouldn’t be much of an issue. Why don’t you enquire such question directly to ACS, they might be able to guide you?

Hello All, Good afternoon po sa inyong lahat. I read somewhere that if you graduated from Section 3 school in the Philippines with a BS degree. ACS may not consider it as Bachelor's degree because it is section 3 school? How do we know the school we graduated from is a section 1, 2 or 3? Salamat.
