I think your manager does not have to be a member of AIQS for you to get an assessment, but is your supervisor a Quantity Surveyor by title?
I see. Well, if talagang gusto mo magpadagdag ng points for EOI, look into the AIQS accredited courses. With an Australian qualification, you can try to get assessed under Pathway 1.

Yes he is not a member of AIQS and my problem now is I'm the only person responsible for this job Estimator/Quantity Surveyor both at the same time. I'm reporting directly to my manager who will sign my detailed COE if ever I will submit for assessment.
Do you think I need to study to add more points for EOI, sa tingin ko kasi malabo ako makuha ng superior result sa english test. Kasi nag try ako i calculate ang points ko considering that I can get only proficient english result and if ever 5 years overseas experience lang ako kinonsider ko and the total is only 60points.

Yung study route, depende po kasi yun sa financial budget mo on top of the fees na babayaran mo for skills assessment and PR visa fee, and kung hindi ka naman nagmamadali magmigrate. But makakatulong po ang Australian study para umangat ang EOI points mo.

About naman po sa study route, hindi naman po ako nagmamadali mag migrate and willing din naman po ako maghintay at magaral kasi sa tingin ko hindi sapat ang points ko kung di ako magaaral. Sa budget naman po, ang kaya lang po ng budget ko is for 2 years course but bachelor course will be taken up to 4 years. May chance ba akong makakuha ng eCOE sa isang university?

If so, you can definitely go the student route para makakuha ng Australian qualification, which would definitely help if you pursue the Quantity Surveyor occupation.

Of course EA is a no go as it is only for engineers. AIQS possible, BUT not all allied discipline practicing as estimator/quantity surveying will be successful. There will be factors such as the school where you graduated (should be listed under Section 1 of Country Education Profiles-CEP) another is working under an appropriate supervisor. From AIQS website one of 3 criteria should be met to be considered as an appropriate supervisor. But again, in my experience, I have not known, read or heard anyone getting a "Suitable" assessment from AIQS having a supervisor who is not a corporate member of the AIQS. My colleague (CE practicing QS) just recently failed the assessment partly because of that "appropriate" supervisor thing even it was the VP (CE practicing QS) of an international QS Consultancy (based in the PH) who signed his reference letter. It does not necessarily mean that your supervisor should be an AIQS member but could be a member of an affiliate organization such as RICS, NZIQS, PIQCS, etc.
So in a nut shell, favorable chance of assessment with AIQS if you cant meet the requirements for school and appropriate supervisor. If you think not, best chance will be with VETASSESS.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

For example, a CE graduate practicing as QS/estimator is more likely to be assessed with AIQS if he has a job title (in his CV and COE) as Quantity Surveyor. On the other hand, if a CE graduate is practicing QS/estimator but having a job title of Civil Engineer, then he might have his assessment with either EA or VETASSESS.
What I am tying to say here is that job title will be the basis of assessing body that suits you. I know of people, just recently, CE practicing QS having the title of QS requested their employer to change their job title in their COE from QS to CE as they do not meet the criteria of having an appropriate supervisor and chose to have their assessment with EA and became successful.
In my opinion, as long as your documents are consistent to what skill you have and your skills assessed by respective assessors, DHA will accept.

If one graduated as a QS (we already have a school in PH via PIBE) then automatic, no questions asked, you should be assessed by AIQS. But since we are allied in relation to QS/estimating, we have the chance to choose which suits us best.

Please see this link:
https://deltaimmigration.com.au/Architectural-Draftsperson/312111.htm
You can scroll down below and you can find it there ano ang Job Description ng Architectural Draftsperson based on Australian Standard. I know a lot of people here sa forum are looking through ANZCOsearch website, but for me mas helpful and straight forward itong delta immigration kasi makikita mo dyan kung anong visa type pwepwede ang isang occupation pati kung saang states pwede ang isang occupation if visa 190. There are also related occupation na lalabas, halimbawa search mo architectural draftsperson, magbibigay sya ng related occupations like
Architectural Draftsperson
Building Associate
Building Inspector
Construction Estimator
Plumbing Inspector
Surveying or Spatial Science Technician
Architectural, Building and Surveying Technicians nec
and you can click those other occupations and it will open to its specific description and what type of visa and all other information you needed. (naka-summarize pa nga ang requirement ng states eh) The best thing is merong task/job description, so hindi ka malilito if pasok ka ba as architectural draftsperson or not, and based sa australian standard ito ang task ng architectural draftsperson:
-assisting Construction Managers, Architects and Surveyors in planning and organisation
-interpreting plans, regulations and codes of practice
-preparing preliminary sketches, working drawings and specifications
-preparing, editing and revising plans, maps, charts and drawings
-coordinating works programs
-inspecting work and materials for compliance with specifications, regulations and standards
-calculating costs and estimating time scales
-collecting data using surveying instruments and photogrammetric equipment
-performing routine computations and plotting preliminary data
so pasok na pasok ka dyan, i believe.
The best solution is ikaw mismo ang gagawa ng COE mo kasi mas kabisado mo yung scope ng job mo and anong ginagawa mo, then papirma mo na lang at papalagay sa official letterhead ng company mo kasi mostly sa amin dito sa pinoyau ganyan ginawa namin.
Going through a student visa will only cost you more money and time than applying directly as a PR if may chance ka naman, why not. I have friends na 4 years na sa OZ na under sa student visa and this year pa lang mag apply as PR, samantalang ako ni hindi ko pa nalalanghap ang hangin ng OZ eh PR na ang status ko from offshore, what I'm saying is research more and I believe may chance yang experience mo to get a PR OZ visa under skilled migration. Goodluck and God bless.

Itatanong ko lang po sana, may minimum number of tasks ba from that list na kailangan nakalagay sa COE? Yung COE ko kasi from my first two employers ganito ang nakalagay:
Company 1 - PH design firm(prepared by company secretary/HR)
-Prepare architectural drawings using AutoCAD (2D)
-Prepare 3D perspective using Sketchup and V-Ray
-Site supervision
-Cordinate with engineering consultants and suppliers regarding working drawings and details
-Quality control architectural finishes on construction
Company 2 - Taiwan design firm (I wrote the draft myself)
-Producing 3D visualization of design projects
-Preparing architectural working drawings
-Coordinating with allied professionals regarding design details
-Creating presentation materials for client meetings
-Organizing project documentation for building permit application
Bale ang focus po kasi ng work ko was design and documentation, so puro drawing-related tasks ang ipinalagay/inilagay ko. From what I can tell, these duties address only 3-4 tasks on the list, sapat na po ba kaya ito para magpa-assess as architectural draftsperson? Medyo iba din po kasi ang keywords sa COE from the tasks list, so I'm concerned kung ok lang kaya ito?

Surveying Technicians occupation only? I tried to find those occupations in all sponsoring states, but It seems like these jobs are not in demand in Australia. Please clarify which occupation in Vet is applicable for me that I can apply for assessment.
Thank you.

if 65points po ang total points niyo including SS may chance parin po kayo ma invite pero syempre need mag antay kasi kung sa pila inuuna nila ang ang may mataas na points. Wag ka mawalan ng pag-asa sir, may friends ako na 60pts including na SS na invite last August at PR this year lang na grant, although last year sya na invite. Pahigpit na kasi rin competition sa points. I suggest try to get a proficient english result para 75pts kayo. Mabilis kayo maiinvite kaagad.

If you're not in a hurry, try to submit an EOI upon completing your assessments and documentation so you'll be on the pool of candidates already. Older EOIs are given priority over newer ones, unless you have really high EOI points (75-80+). With 65 points it might take months to get an ITA, at least nowadays. If you are somewhat in a hurry (if you're trying to secure an ITA before your points decrease due to age), I say retake the English test to get more points.

makakuha ka nyan ng positive results kasi if yung work experience mo naman ang titignan eh, which i think eh solid naman. magdedepende na lang kung ilang years yung ibibigay nila na skilled experienced mo, but take note na they will deduct 1 year sa overall experience mo kasi parang hindi pa nila kinokonsider na skilled experience yun. kumabaga intern or rookie level pa lang daw kasi hahah
