I'm Computer Eng. graduate and I'm a Sr. Web Designer / Developer for 12 years. I want to shift to Web Designer (VETASSESS) from Web Developer (ACS) since wala na ang Web Dev sa short list. I already had ACS assessment with AQF Bachelor Degree last year with four years deduction as Web Developer.
There will be no problem on asking new CoE since my boss knows about my plan moving to AU. Will there be a problem with my course and my skill occupation? Thanks ulit!

Taking the online application route and currently in the process of uploading files. Stupid question but have to ask, is the "Submit and Finish Uploading" button a one-time thing? I fear that should I use this button, I can no longer upload additional files.
I am yet to complete ALL documents but already uploaded a significant portion. Till now, I only use the "Save and Continue Later" button - might be the reason why the documents do not reflect in the "Checklist".
For your kind guidance please. Thank you!

I am planning for reassessment and pick another occupation. My job is Treasury Operations backoffice. Actually, related sya sa financial dealer though hindi lang kami ang gumagawa ng transactions nila but kami ang nagpaprocess and i know how to do their job, kaso sa certificate of employment ko walang nilagay na ganun ang employer ko dahil nga backoffice ako.
If i will pick another occupation in the lists, ano po sa tingin nyo ang pwede?
Thanks!

The Philippines is assessed as comparable
to the educational level of an AQF Bachelor degree
and is therefore at the required level.
Field of study Mechanical Engineering is not highly
relevant
Country of employment: United Arab Emirates
Employment assessed: 1. Project Supervisor, ABC Company (07/2012 to 07/2017)
The employment Project Supervisor, ABC Company (07/2012 to 07/2017) does
not meet the minimum requirements for this occupation as
the tasks undertaken are not highly relevant to the ANZSCO tasks
for the nominated occupation
The employment described above does not meet the minimum requirements for
this occupation as
According to ANZSCO, a Program or Project Administrator plans
and undertakes administration of organisational programs, special
projects and support services. Based on the provided documents,
your tasks during this period of employment appear to be closely
related to the normal services provided by Emirates Glass and there
is no evidence of administration of projects separate from the day to
day activities of the company. Therefore, your employment is not
highly relevant to the nominated occupation and is assessed
negatively.
A positive assessment of both qualifications and employment is required for a
positive Skills Assessment Outcome.
Skills Assessment Outcome: Negative
Based on the evidence provided, the qualifications and/or employment described above do not meet the Skills Assessment requirements of your nominated occupation.
Questions: I know that we can send it for review but what will be the additional proof/documents na pwede iprovide? Should I call them first to discuss why it is negative in the first place? Isend ko lng ba for review ang skill assessment or pati qualifications? Thank you in advance sa mga sasagot. God bless:)

I recently applied for reassessment for a new job (since my first nominated job (positive result) is already closed for all the states in Aus). Sa online portal ng Vetassess, after the payment and submission of the addtl docs, it says, 'you can wait for 2 to 3 weeks to get a result', whereas sa late response ng personnel (I used their email add [email protected]) it takes 12 to 14 weeks daw ang reassessment.
How true is it? coz sa naunang assessment ko, it took them 6weeks lang.
*May 2016 -Heard one friend sharing stories about Australia
-Had my research the ff.day about my job opportunity in Australia
-Become aware about PTE, ANZSCO and VETASSESS
*Sept.2016 - 1st attempt of PTE (Dubai). LRSW = 83/71/76/83
*Dec.2016 - Submitted docs to VETASSESS for Skills Assessment
*Feb.2017 - Positive result from VETASSESS
(Only chance of EOI was in SA which require high points for a 489 visa)
*Mar.2017 - 2nd attempt of PTE (Phil). LRSW = 86/76/65/90 (unsuccessful to get superior)
*Nov.2017- I turned 40, which means minus 10 pts. =(
- Started to lose hope and forget my Aus dream for a while
*July 2018 - NT, SA and Tasmania were open
- I needed to get a superior score from PTE
*Aug. 2018 - 3rd attempt of PTE (Dubai). LRSW = 57/69/84/56 (scores were awful)
(Despite my scores, I am determined and wont stop til i get that superior)
*Oct.2018 - 4th attempt of PTE (Phil). LRSW = 79/90/83/86 (at last!)
*Nov.2018 - EOI Northern Territory, Tasmania and SA
*Aug.1, 2019 - Northern Territory ITA
*Aug.7, 2019 - Official NT Skillselect ITA (Hired MA for visa lodging)
*Aug.20, 2019 - Lodged Visa
(Whatever the outcome is, life goes on & Im forever grateful to the Lord)
*Nov.18, 2019 - 489 Visa direct grant
Thank you Lord
