suitable for migration
tapos paragraph about sa education..i.e. comparable to AQF Bachelor degree major in computing. then next paragraph, the following employment after "date" is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level (dito po nalalaman kung ilan yun years of experience na deducted) kase ang consider lang nila un skilled employment after the date na inidicated.
edit : parehas pa tayo ng course hehehe pero ako 7 years pure IT experience...pero 3 years lang ang considered as skilled..expected ko ito kase un course ko though comparable to AQF bachelor degree, ndi closely related yun work experience ko as analyst programmer kaya yun 3 years (5 points lang pede ko claim). swerte mo hehehe

Binasa ko yung Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants and found this info.
"Please Note:
- Employment references MUST contain an end date or the work episode will be assessed as not suitable.
- The term, “To Date” cannot be used as the end date of the employment reference. "
Paano kapag you are still employed in a company for a contract of 2 years, pwede ba ilagay yung contract date mo sa COE for example January 2013 to January 2015? kasi di ata pwede yung January 2013 - Present or pwede? since sabi MUST contain an end date.
Can someone share his experience?

I misinterpreted the notice
On your profile it says VIC SS approved. How do you apply for State Sponsorship? Kasama na ba ni-specify mo pag send mo ng EOI tpos bahala na ang DIAC magdecide kung may state na magsponsor sayo? or is there a separate application for this before sending an EOI?
What if no state is willing to sponsor you, will you be allowed to apply for 189 visa instead of 190?
congrats for being invited to apply for visa

I just received my assessment after 15 weeks of wait.
"Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 263111 (Computer Network and
Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code."
They recognized all my experiences of more than 10 years na walang bawas.
They also recognized my Microsoft certifications as "assessed as comparable to an AQF Diploma with a major in computing"
The only problem is there is no mention of my degree which is Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology.
I graduated more than 15 years ago.
I already sent a letter about this just now, and I will wait for their reply.
So currently from the ACS result I have, does this mean I can only claim 10 pts. which is a diploma recognized by ACS?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

"Your Bachelor of Science(BSECE) degree has been assessed as having insufficient ICT content and therefore cannot be considered toward your assessment.
The ACS can only assess and report on relevant ICT degrees."
Yung iniisip ko lang more than 15 years na kasi ako nag graduate and yung computer subjects noon siguro is hindi na related sa ngayon.Marami kaming computer related subjects from 3rd to 5th year BSECE sa Mapua.
Sa forum dito marami na recognized na BSECE as degree equivalent. Yun nga lang recently sila graduated, less than 10 years.
I look at the big picture na lang that I got a positive assessment and more than 10 years experience approved.
Sayang yung 5 pts na nabawas sa qualifications.

ito yun criteria na ginagamit ni ACS sa pag assess:
http://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/7324/Summary-of-Criteria-Oct-2013.pdf
yan nagbgay sken ng idea kung ano yun pedeng assessment ni ACS sa skills ko..since yun course ko bachelor ict major..pero yun nominated occupation ko (analyst programmer) hindi closely related sa course ko..kelangan ko at least 4 years experience para masabi na skilled na ako.
i suggest..check mo gun definition nun nominated occupation mo para magma idea ka. ganun case ginawa ko.
goodluck

Nag mock entry po ako sa ACS Skills Assessment and I came across these three requirements:
- Organization chart
- Statutory Declaration
- Skilled Employment Reference Letter
1. I am on a non-RPL path. Required po ba sa akin yung Organization Chart? If yes, what kind of org chart do i need? Can anyone please share a "sample" ?
2. If my Skilled Employment Reference Letter is detailed/complete, do I still need to secure a Statutory Declaration?
Sorry if this has been answered in the past.
Thanks in advance and good luck to all!

mock entry - meaning nag try ako mag fill up ng fields sa ACS website. Tanong ko lang po kung:
1. I am on a non-RPL path. Required po ba sa akin yung Organization Chart? If yes, what kind of org chart do i need? Can anyone please share a "sample" ?
2. If my Skilled Employment Reference Letter is detailed/complete, do I still need to secure a Statutory Declaration?

2. complete po meaning may letterhead, job description at signed by senior colleague or boss. according po sa documents thread sufficient na po. kailangan lang ng statutory kung di nakalagay sa company letterhead.

1. Natanong ko na ito dati and yung nag advise sa akin pumasa ng hindi sya ngpasa ng Org chart. Ang ginawa ko, gumawa pa din ako at nag pasa. Sa unang employer ko, pinirmahan naman pero yung second, ayaw kasi confidential daw. So ang napasa ko lang yung sa first employer ko. In God's name... pumasa naman. Normal org chart lang naman yun. Ang ginawa ko ay org chart na nasa top yung highest position ng company then branched down showing my position. Then I request this din to be printed under my first company's letterhead then nilagyan ko ng signed by my manager including contact details at position. Take note na hindi ako RPL path ha.
2. Tama itong sagot ni kikerz I suggest to do a mock application para makita ninyo kung ano yung mga details na kelangan i fill up pati paano ang oraganization ng mga documents. Ginawa ko ito dati. You can do it naman then wag mo muna i submit. Save mo lang muna then pag confident ka na sa mga details mo, saka mo na submit and pay.
Hope this helps and good luck.
