I suggest you need to read more on acs guideline to understand more about how many years they will deduct from your experience and why they do it.
A qualification from section 3 institution is not equivalent to an AQF bachelors degree.

Hi po, question lang po ulit, yung FEU Institute of Technology po kasi sa list na ito: https://pinoyau.info/plugin/page/schools-section-list/F
Naka list sya 2x and one of them is Section 1 and one of them is section 3. "Far Eastern University Institute of Technology" and "FEU Institute of Technology" is iisa lang po. Ask lang po if we happen to know whether it's in section 1 or 3? Maraming salamat!

Hi, sorry follow up ko lang ito po. Anyone here who recently got their skills assessed from FEU IT? Sa list kasi of schools dalawa sya, Far Eastern University Institute of Technology (Section 1) and FEU Institute of Technology (Section 3). Not sure if na demote sya or it was upgraded? Any insights on this would help.
Updated list now:
And then old list:
Thank you very much! Iniisip ko na kasi mag pa assess pero syempre di rin biro ang assessment fee hehe.

Ooh okay. Sige thank you. If ever naman pwede magpa re assess no? Im aiming for at least 80 points kasi… ang nakikita ko for software engineer 85 pts ang minimum naiinvite.
Plan ko pa assess na ako now, but i think mga 75 pts siguro makukuha ko (section 3 school, 6 yoe, so -2 na kay acs tpos -4 ata if galing section 3 school). So i dont think i can claim any exp.
If ever pa re assess ako after 2 yrs nalang. Hehe. Thank you.

Hi, @RheaMARN1171933 ! I am a Communication Arts major in Public Relations graduate, and I have 5 years of experience. Although my school is under section 2 only, are there other ways I can pursue a positive assessment? What could be my other options? I also have experience in project management/project coordination, which requires only an associate degree. Do you think I should nominate this instead?

Hello, if my school is under Section 3, is there a chance to get a positive skills assessment from VETASSESS? My occupation is Technical Writer with 6 years of working experience, going on 7 years this 2024.

your chance on getting a positive result will solely based on the files you will submit. one of the factors yung section, but theres a lot more to consider like your transcript, work exp, job desc, license, etc
wag mo problemahin masyado yung school, wala na tayo magagawa dyan lol. bawiin mo na lang sa ibang requirements na you have control with. kaya yan!

Unfortunately, a minimum degree is required as the occupation falls under group B. If the qualification is from an institution under section 1 then it’s not equivalent to an AQF degree unless the applicant is a board passer. However, 6 years of highly relevant employment could also work in lieu of a degree.

Hello, thank you for answering. I will have 7 years of experience as a Technical Writer this coming July 2024. Do you think I can get a positive outcome from VETASSESS if I apply once I get 7 years of experience?

I’m a migration agent and not an assessor. All I could say is as long as the criteria is met then I don’t see why it will be an issue. All the best.

Hi, @RheaMARN1171933 I am a Communication Arts graduate, and I have 5 years of experience in advertising and have work with australian company as an offshore but I am not sure if they do sponsorship yet.
I want to try PR pathway although my school is under section 2 only, are there other ways I can pursue a positive assessment? What could be my other options? Will my work experience suffice or are the online courses I can take for me to compensate with my school's section?

TIP: If there's no response to your post yet, try availing some "initial consultation" from a migration agency. Ganyan kasi ginawa ko wayback 2021 (with Respall) to confirm my eligibility for Australian PR.
(I remember paying around 1500 - 2000 pesos for that consultation. But I didn't sign the contract with them at napakamahal ~~ then I found this forum.)
This way, you'll have an idea which you can and cannot claim points for and what visa you may be eligible to apply. Sa consultation, they will ask your background/profile and they will only produce an initial assessment report based on the facts you'll give them.
So from there, alam mo na most likely ilan points ang macclaim mo for each eligibility criteria, ano magiging assessing body mo / anzsco na pasok ang work mo, etc. You just have to look for a reputable one para wala namang over promising na maganap.
Sa school, namention na sa forum na to na wala na tayo masyadong magagawa sa school sectioning and its corresponding educ level sa Australia. Might as well bawiin nalang sa ibang criteria ang points. Goodluck!

@mathilde9 and @rmbalingit , nag pa assess po ako sa Respall po and unfortunately they advise na I enroll sa section 1 na school kc hndi daw maaccomodate ung section 3 schools. Although ung NCBA Fairview po is nasa section 1 po. Yan kc po dilemma ko kaya hindi pa ako nag papa assess kay CPA Australia po.

Also I tried other agencies their initial assessment (ito po ung free) na I can proceed daw with the PR Visa 189 and they used my school as a basis since may MBA naman daw po ako. Then I found this forum and silently reading po. Medyo gulo lang kc ako kung ano gagawin ko. Btw ung consultation sa Migration Mate ung kakausap kn ng migration lawyer is almost 10k so medyo pricey po.

Ano po young i-eenroll mo sa Section 1 school based as advice ni Respall?
You may also try to take the CPA boards para kapag passer ka na po, you will have your PICPA membership There is a MRA with CPA Australia na pag PICPA member ka, most likely your degree will be an AQF bachelor's degree. As of now, wala pa po ako nakikita na board passer na hindi considered as AQF bachelor's degree kahit na hindi section 1 ang school.
