Australian Computer Society Skills Application

Andoy31 · January 2015

ECE rin ako and i've been doing IT for the last ~10-11 years (nung nagpa assess ako) and binawasan nila ako ng 4 years sa experience ko - when i called them and asked for reconsideration, they told me na "I have to deduct 4 years from your experience because your course it not that much related to your nominated skill - software engineer"
not sure if i should have chosen Computer network and systems engineer instead, pero kase ang mga roles and responsibilities ko medyo nakageared towards software engineer.

Hello po, I'm a newbie at this forum pero matagal na po akong nagiisip magmigrate sa AU. And I'm glad I found a really informative forum

Ito po details ko:
261112 Systems Analyst
Age: I'm currently 24, I'll turn 25 this May 2015.
Course: BS IT (Section 2 school)
Years of Experience: 4yrs++, will turn 5yrs this June 2015

Question lang po:
Should I already submit for ACS assessment? or should I wait for June? Kapag pinareassess ba, may bayad pa ulit? Although I am really targeting na sa June 2015 pa po maglodge in ng EOI.
Pwede po bang nd muna dalhin lahat ng dependents? Sa ibang taon or kapag nakapagsettle na run? TIA

Mejo mabilis processing ng ACS ngyn, you can submit na anyway those who graduated with ICT major or minor, max or 4 years namn ang pwede ideduct, so you have 4.5 years na at the moment, hopefully only 2 years will be deducted so by June u can claim 3 years of work. If you are working in the same company, no need to get it reassessed.

Nakakatakot po pala magpaassess sa acs pag ECE graduate ka. Lalo for me 3 years pa lang ako nagwowork as programmer. Baka bawasan nila ng sobra tas walang matira.Gosh,,,ECE folks???

jomarmallare · January 2015

Any ECE graduate from Saint Louis university, Baguio?

Yes. Section 2 po ang PUP. Wala na po akong ibang pinasa. Siguro nakatulong din yung certification ko kaya ako nakakuha ng Bachelor Degree or pwede rin yung contents ng COE ko from my previous companies.

thanks sa reply.

wala ako certification eh. diploma, TOR, at COEs lang ipapasa ko. sana bachelor degree ibigay saken at sana konti lang deductions sa exp.

observation ko sa thread na ito na kapag section 2 na 5 yr course, binibigyan nila ng bachelor degree. 2 years deduction sa work exp if ICT related. if non ICT related 4 year deduction.

goodluck saken.

patoy · January 2015

yung COE po ba dapat naka CTC? Saan po ipa CTC?

alvinprina · February 2015

Hi Guys,

I was able to gather all my COEs from previous company. Ready na to apply for ACS assessment. Quick question lang, Lord willing kung ma suitable ako sa application ko for ACS... pag nag lodge po ba ako ng visa 189, pwede ko isama yung future wife ko? ikakasal kasi kame sa may 10, 2015 and I'm planning to lodge the EOI if ever by June para complete na wedding papers namen.. Eligible ba sya as my dependent? kasi kung hindi, baka hindi ko na ituloy yung ACS.. and mag stay nalang kame sa dubai. Salamat po in advance!

mga sir/madam, pa help po ulit.

 Employment references can only be calculated until the date of submission. The “To Date” will be taken
from the employment reference date or the submission date of your application – whichever comes first.
 If the employment reference has no date indicating when it was written, it will be assessed as not suitable.
 If your employment reference is “Current”, it MUST be dated and the “To Date” will be noted as the date
of the submission of the skills assessment

nililito ko po ata sarili ko tungkol sa rules above....
situation:
yun po employment reference letter ko from my "current" job was dated December 30, 2014......ano po ang ilalagay ko sa "To Date" ? yung December 30, 2014 po ba?? or yung date kung kelan ko i sa submit yung assessment ko po???

salamat in advance

Ang ginawa ko para safe, yung date sa Reference Letter ang nilagay ko. If you want to include the most recent dates to claim more experience, update your reference letter.

@eccen3k salamat po sir!!

jones888 · February 2015

Hi po sa lahat.. Tanong ko lang don sa nakapag.EOI na..

I'm going to claim another 2 months without going through ACS since I'm working on the same company and i need 2 more months para ka 8 years exp ako..(7yrs and 10mths ang accepted by ACS)

Ok lang po ba na ang i.submit ko as reference sa 2 months na yon ay Statutory Declaration instead of Certificate of Employment? D kasi nagbibigay ang company ko if ongoing pa ang contract, kahit anong request ko..

Salamat.

J_Oz · February 2015

@jones888 i think kung na-assess na yong current work/same company mo e ok lang kahit stat declaration. Or you can back it up with your payslips covering those months na di nakasama sa ACS. For Example till Dec 2014 lang na-assess and you are still working for the same company with the same role/responsibilities, Yong January and Feb 2015 siguro ok na isama as long as you can provide proofs such as Payslip and yong stat declaration, baka naman pwede pirmahan yon ng boss mo.

Tignan natin yong sagot ng iba, baka kasi mali ako

Crocs2011 · February 2015

Hello everyone! Some questions po before submitting my ACS Skills Assessment:

1. BS Computer Science 1999 graduate but got my TOR and Diploma 2004 na, SO number is also 2004 due to Incomplete subjects na natagalan i-complete. May impact po ba ito?

2. In my TOR, meron akong 1 sem from other school (different course - MassCom), mostly minor subjects lang naman, may kaso po ba ito?

3. Lastly, it is okay if hindi ako magbayad ng ACS Skills Assessment ko, a friend of mine in AU is willing to pay for it.

Thank you sa mga sasagot!
