    @kate26 meron naman sila syllabus, dun ka sa college office natin pumunta. Parang nagki-keep talaga sila kase normal na lang yata yung may nanghihingi ng syllabus. May babayaran ka lang pero di naman ganun kalaki saka wait ka ng konti (same day nakuha ko yung akin). Tama, asikasuhin mo na yang mga academic credentials kase once na andito ka na sa Australia mahihirapan ka na.
    Akala ko sa Melbourne ka, pwede sana tayo magkita. Hehhehe.
    Basta naman di ka mapili sa trabaho may mahahanap ka dito.
    Naka 457 lang ako. Naghihintay pa ko skills assessment results. :)

    Share ko lang po para sa mga nagbabalak magpa-assess ng skills. Kakareceive ko lang ng skills and employment assessment ko this morning, suitable naman daw. Sa ICAA ako nagpa-assess, complete requirements were submitted on 22nd April. Bale 4 weeks and 2 days sya natapos.

    Medyo nanghihinayang lang kase feeling ko na-late ako ng ilang oras lang sa draw. Feeling ko papasok sana ko. Hahaha! :)

    @mabelle, i dont think the assessing body will credit your work exp prior you getting your degree. they have a strict guidelines when it comes to work exp bec that determines the points that you will use for skillselect. but of course, what you can do is to call or email them and ask if thats possible. after all, they have the final say.

    For accountants:

    The Accounting professional bodies have
    announced changes to the requirements for skills assessment to apply from 1 July 2015.

    These changes will make the criteria more difficult to meet, and may affect many accountants and external auditors applying for skilled migration to Australia.

    For more information on how the changes will affect you, please read our article:
