KEM · April 2015

Hi Guys,

Just to update that I've received the result of my assessment.

I think it doesn't matter which school you're from as long as ok naman yung grades and subject na related sa code.

Thanks to this forum for all the helpful information.

Good Luck.

Nangyayari po ba na binabawasan ng experience kung 5 years ang sinubmit at align nman sa work with details nman ung COE?

krad_angel · April 2015

@KEM way to go!!! how many points did you get for the MCITP? And your total?

krad_angel · April 2015

Yung original na diploma at TOR po ang ipapanotarized?

snider · April 2015

@krad_angel yun original docs po pa-photocopy mo. yung photocopies ang papa notarized "Certified True Copy of the Original".

KEM · April 2015

@eric290 di ko rin sure e, kasi na maintain ko naman ng maayos yung grades at walang bagsak.

KEM · April 2015

@buchock thanks, next step is IELTS

KEM · April 2015

@krad_angel isa lang ang pipiliin mo dun kung ano yung mas mataas which is yung bachelor degree na nabigay.

sa computation ko eto ang sa tingin ko na total points ko.

age = 30 points
Skilled Employment after 2008 (6yrs 10 months) = 10 points
Qualification (AQF Bahelor Degree) = 15 points

Total = 55 points.

I just need to take IELTS for additional points.

Please help if my computation is correct.

TIA

Goodluck sa IELTS naten

krad_angel · April 2015

@KEM Thanks. parehas pala tayo ng computation pero di pa ako nagpapaasses kasi i'm reviewing for IELTS.

alvinprina · April 2015

@paupau29 - Bro, may mga review materials ka ba dyan for IELTS? hehe! salamat!

diplomat · April 2015

Hi!

Meron akong 10 years working experience po sa work IT, but ACS only granted 2 years. Does it mean 2 years lang ang ma kuha ko na points sa DIAC?

Current understanding ko po.. kapang may isang suitable skills regardless of the year pwede na maka lodge at ang DIAC na ang mag decide sa points ko.

tama po ba?

jcmc · April 2015

hi, meron bang naka apply dito as
263111 - Computer Network and Systems Engineer
pero grad ng bs ece sa mapua? more on mga pc upgrades, installation, maintenance, proj management ang ginagawa.. may networking pero basic lang..
kung may naka try na sa inyo, let me know how it went.. thanks

axlrose · April 2015

@diplomat Although it is stated that the final decision of awarding points remains with DIBP, it is still advisable to only claim work experience assessed as suitable by ACS (although if you're still working with the last company assessed by ACS and same lang ung position and walang changes sa duties and responsibilities and if you can provide sufficient evidence to DIPB such as current payslips, puwede iconsider or i-add yun ng DIBP sa total number of working years mo. Take note that the assessment is valid for 2 yrs from the date of assessment). It is important to not overclaim points in your EOI (especially if DIBP assesses your overall points to be less than 60) since this can lead to a visa denial.

zitrojam · April 2015

hi po, question... i have 5 years relevant experience, however, the second company ive worked in does not have sss contribution since it is contractual/ agency. would the acs deduct that in my relevant years?

im so worried about this

please enlighten me. thank you

Hello, as long as you have a COE from the said company with the required format by ACS, you should not worry. Di naman po required ang sss/pagibig contribution sa ACS assessment.

zitrojam · April 2015

Thank you very much. Hindi ba required ipasa ang mga payslip, ITR?

zitrojam · April 2015

Another thing, how do you get COE with ACS format from you current employer without them knowing that you are applying for visa to AU for permanent residence? What is the purpose you stated?

Thank you again!

jamiebee · April 2015

Hello everyone! Newbie here. I've got some questions, I hope I get answers..

1. I've tried to request for COE to my employer with the ACS format, and sadly they won't provide detailed job description. Do you guys know any workaround for this?

2. I am a graduate from DLSU. For the accredited schools, What does the "section" mean?

franz15 · April 2015

@zitrojam Di po required ang itr/payslips sa acs assessment, sa visa lodgement pa yun usually sinusubmit. Nagbigay lang ako ng sample format sa previous companies ko then sinama ko yung guidelines from ACS para alam nila na yun dapat ang ibigay nilang format. Yung purpose is yung generic lang na "whatever legal purpose it may serve". Though nung nagtanong sila kung para saan, honest lang ang sagot ko na for my visa application skills assessment.

zitrojam · April 2015

@franz15 thank you. however, under probationary plang kasi ako sa current company. my worry is, bka hindi nila ko iregular kapag nalaman nilang nagaapply ako ng visa for migration. i dont want to go through the visa prrocesses unemployed, hahaha.. pano kaya yun..

thanks ulet

persephone30 · April 2015

@eric290 HI same po tayo..more on SD/sys admin din work ko pero na approve din ng ACS kaya lng one year lng an credit from 8 yrs experience. Try mo lng din since may post grad cert ka pa. Also, its best na yung detailed COE mo pattern mo sa ANZSCO description..ako kahit basic lng sa networking hinandle namin ni add ko lng din sya and ni elaborate/rephrase ko lng na prang di naman ganun ka basic dating.

Also, di ako nagpa pirma sa HR namin kasi most hindi talaga nagbibigay ng detailed COE. Dun ako sa mga managers ko nagpapirma and ni print ko lng with letterhead. May isa akong manager na ayaw gamitin ang letterhead kasi nasa ibang company na sya ngayon nag work. Ginawa ko, since 2 pages naman ang COE and last page sya nag sign, yung first page ni reprint ko with letterhead which ako na din gumawa. Sorry medyo kinda pandaya eto and I dont advise it hehe pero ni check ko kasi paiba iba din yung letterhead ng company namin na yun..wala silang fix or standard letterhead, so nagdecide ako gawan nlng like logo, address and contact info.

franz15 · April 2015

@zitrojam Diskartehan mo na lang siguro paano ka makakapagrequest without directly telling them your plans. May mga HR naman na hindi nagtatanong kung para saan ang nirerequest na COE. You can also try to get the statutory declaration from your supervisor/manager instead of the COE from HR.

By the way, yung 5 years experience mo ba, naconsider mo na dun yung posibleng ibawas na years ng ACS? Nagbabawas kasi sila at least ng 2 years depende sa degree qualifications mo.

Envy · April 2015

@jamiebee same scenario i had with my former employer. kesyo hindi daw sila naglalagay ng detailed job description sa COE..which is ^$%@#$@.

1. sumuko ako after 4 months of kulitan at discussions with HR. instead, what i did was to get a JD for my position and role. I presume you have copies of your JD from your employer. I printed it with official company letterhead and I asked my immediate manager to sign. I then wrote statutory declaration that COE from this company does not include JD therefore im submitting additional documents blah blah blah...

2. i have no idea what you were referring to...

Envy · April 2015

@zitrojam di ko maintindihan bakit kelangan ilagay ang specific purpose ng paghingi ng COE. samantalang legal document naman yan at walang liability ang company.

in my case hindi ko sinabi, pero nilagay pa rin nila dun na mag loloan daw ako sa Metrobank..WTF

persephone30 · April 2015

I think pag manager mo ang pumirma di na need ng stat dec. Ako puro manager nag pirma wala akong stat dec na ni submit. Pero pinasa ko na rin ang COE na galing HR pandagdag..years ago pa yung HR COEs wala namang probs. Yung detailed COEs talaga ang importante.

Sa reason naman ng paghingi ng COE from current employers, kanya kanya ngang diskarte. I am based in SG so sabi ko lng sa employer ko eh backup lng since di maganda yung status ng mga foreigners nag wowork dito. Pede nyo rin cguro sabihin na for vacation purposes or trip to AU.

Ma suggest ko lng sa manager na kayo magpapirma kung pwede, at least di nyo na need maglagay ng purpose sa CoE mo.
