Good day po. Bago lang po ako rito. Question lang po regarding sa Tertiary Education Section. I am from UP System po kasi. Bale po on my first year I was admitted to UPLB then on my second year I transferred to Diliman tapos dun na rin po ako grumaduate. Sa section po ba ng Tertiary Education need ko po ba mag-add ng 2 different qualifications? One for UPLB and one for UPD? If yes po, dun po ba sa i-upload na qualification documents enough na po ba ang transcript para sa UPLB part po na qualification since 1 year lang naman po rito? Anyone here po na same situation sa akin na makakatulong? Salamat po.

If that's the case po then ano po nilagay niyong awarding body for uplb at ano naman pong normal entry requirement ang nilagay para sa upd? Sa case ko po kasi 1 yr lang po ako sa uplb then yung remaining 3 yrs sa upd po then dun nako grumaduate. Then yung normal length of full-time course po ba magdedepend na sa years na nag-aral po kayo sa campus na yun or base pa rin po sya kung 4-yr or 5-yr course?

Sorry. Binalikan ko ung Vetassess account ko, medyo matagal na kasi di ko maalala. Eto ung details sa records ko:
For awarding body, UPD lang, di mo naman na kumpleto ung uplb degree diba, so it's not "awarded".
Normal entry requirement: UP College Admission Test (UPCAT)
Normal length of full-time course: ung normal prescribed length ng university, in my case 5 years ang sagot, kahit natapos ko siya in 7 years. lol
Inupload ko ung full TOR ko with UPLB TOR since naka indicate dun na nagtransfer ako.

So tama po ba itong ganitong details? Same degree lang naman po yan bale transferee lang po to other UP units. Two qualifications ang ilalagay tapos yung sa isa lang po ang may date qualification awarded kung san grumaduate. Then sa supporting docs both po may transcript na combined, sa upd lang po yung may diploma?

I did not put my UPLB degree as a qualification since di ko naman natapos un. Isa lang ang qualification na nilagay ko sa Vetassess, ung final lang which is UPD.

Hello po! Just to ask kung sa license ba iuppload ung mga certification to software or online courses, hindi sa tertiary education? For example, I'm Odoo Certified, should I upload this under License?
Also, di pa po required ung PTE result sa Vetassess, right?
Thank you!

Hi. How do you prove that licensure is not required by PRC for your chosen occupation? Need po ba ng notarised document or note from PRC?
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
Just write a cover letter. It should be fine. Unless your uni is not listed under section 1 and the required qualification for your assessment is a degree.
Joined: Jun 20, 2023
In my case, I wrote a simple letter (with signature ko, not notarised) discussing and direct to the point na hindi need ang license to practice my nominated occupation and I also include the website of PRC. By the way, Civil Engg Tech po ang pinaassess ko kay VETASSES. By God's grace, Positive naman po.

Hi po sa mga nagka positive skills assessment na, nilagyan yo po ba itong part na ito ng mataas at detailed na description ng inyong mga thesis or projects sa school? sa tertiary education ito na part. Enough lng ba na title lng or minimal lng yung ilagay?

I don't know if it makes a difference nga talaga, but I gave as much detail as I could about my thesis (e.g. dates, title, subject matter ng thesis, and thesis mates) and internship (where, when, what did I do, and who were my supervisors). Had no major project for my course. Then, I added those too in my CV as paragraphs and then just copied it exactly for that field.

Hello. Good day po sa lahat!
Old member pero first time magpopost dito. Hehe.
Gusto ko lang magtanong about sa requirement ng VETASSESS.
Sa mga may idea or sa mga nakapag process na, dun sa Statement of Service na Duties and Responsibilities, exactly the same lang ba yung content nun and yung nasa CV?
Yung isang naging work ko kasi is may kasama nang Duties and Responsibilities sa contract. Balak ko sana copy paste na lang yun sa Statement of Service since part sya mismo ng job contract ko before. Any insights po kung sakaling ganun gawin ko? Anyone na ganun din ang ginawa?
Maraming salamat po sa mga makakasagot!
