Thank you ios_dev and glitch88 for clearing that.

In terms of the qualification points sa points test, is my understanding correct:

Kapag naassess ang degree mo na AQF Bachelor's Degree, you'll be given 15 pts for qualifications. If AQF Diploma, 10 pts. only?

Ito yung matrix sa website nila:

Doctorate from an Australian educational institution or other doctorate of a recognised standard
20

At least a bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or other degree of a recognised standard
15

Diploma or trade qualification completed in Australia
10

An award or qualification recognised by the assessing authority in the assessment of the skilled occupation
10

Maraming salamat ulit!

Tama... eto pa:

To receive 15 points for having at least a Bachelor degree, you must have met the requirements for an award of Bachelor degree by an Australian educational institution or your qualification must be considered as at least comparable to a Bachelor level at Australian standards.

Thanks J_Oz!!

So next step for me is to find out if BSCS from PLM is comparable to AQF Bachelor's or AQF Diploma.

Time to do some lurkin' and stalkin'.

Hello Everyone,

Aside from Xiaomau82's feedback (super thanks for all the help BTW Xiaomau82),
mayroon po bang iba na may nasagap na info whether Bachelor's degree ang assessment ng ACS sa BSCS Course from PLM?

So far sa research ko, ang degrees lang na assessed as AQF Bachelor's from PLM ay Eng'g courses.

I'm doing my best to research this first kasi malaking bagay yung 20K for me if masasayang. Tapos maghihintay ako ng 3 years para lang mag qualify ulit.

Maraming salamat po!

PS:
Paano po mag create ng new thread? Hindi ko makita ang option. Mag oopen sana ako ng thread for applicants na may qualifications from PLM.

Thanks glitch88.

This is weird, kasi yung sis ni xiaomau82 AQF bachelor's ang assessment sa kanya. While itong kay solidjeff adv. diploma lang.

Same school and course lang sila so why different? Hmmm need to check further....

chicken_star · July 2015

@miteglia90 May factor din ang average grade na nakuha based on your TOR.

miteglia90 · July 2015

Thanks chicken_star.

Kung ganoon, mukhang 55 lang ang highest points na makukuha ko since I had average grades hehe.

With this, can I apply for visa 190 instead?

What about mag pa assess sa VETASSESS hoping na AQF Bachelor's ang assessment nila? Can I go thru VETASSESS instead of ACS?

Thanks ulit for the feedback.

I found out VETASSESS doesn't assess ICT occupations, so not an option in the first place pala.

I guess I'll just apply for assessment hoping na AQF Bachelor's ang ibigay. If hindi, I have no choice but to wait for 3 more years. Oh well, papel.

superluckyclover · July 2015

@miteglia90 bakit ka mag-aantay ng 3 years? just curious

glitch88 · July 2015

@miteglia90 bakit ka mag-aantay ng 3 years? just curious

Para ata makakuha ng additional 5 points. Kng diploma kasi assessment sa qualification 10 points lang pero kapag degree 15 points.

@miteglia90 pwede ka naman mag claim ng 10 points kng makakakuha ka ng at least 7 sa lahat ng band IETLS or PTE.

Lahat naman yan may risk na kasama. You wouldnt know unless you try. Iba iba rin ang resulta kahit same school and course... pasa mo lang tas samahan mo ng dasal.

btw i have average grades lang din and failed my first programming class in mapua. pero thank God at maganda result and i now have my PR visa.

Yup superluckyclover, tama si glitch88.

Considered na yung IELTS ko sa overall points ko e. Ito ang breakdown:

Age: 25 y/o = 30 pts

English language: proficient EN lang, 7.5 lang ako sa writing = 10 points
*Here I can try to aim for 8 lahat, but mahal kasi kada take

Skilled employment: total working exp. is 5 yrs.
-If ICT major ang course ko and 2 yrs ang idededuct, I can claim 3 years sa points = 5 points
-If ICT minor ang course ko and 4 yrs ang idededuct, I can't claim anything kasi 1 year lang matitira
*For this I think ICT major naman ang course ko, so I believe makakaclaim ako ng 5 pts. dito

Qualifications:
If AQF assoc. degree or lower = 10 pts
If AQF bachelor's degree = 15 pts
*Ito yung do or die, if 10 pts here, 55 lang overall points. If 15, 60 overall pts.

Ayun.

Salamat sa encouragement J_Oz. :-)

Actually yun din ang pinag iisipan ko, just pass and pray. Yung fee lang talaga is ouch T_T. Kung 5K something lang yun pinasa ko na just for the heck of it.

Pero we'll never really know until ma-assess tayo right?
So magpa-pasa na din ako. I will balitaan you guys.

Thanks for all the feedback so far

thisisme1 · July 2015

@J_Oz mapuan ka din pala! Anong course? May I know kung anu-anong mga docs pinasa mo sa ACS? kasi ang meron ako ngayon ay yung mga cert of employment with roles and responsibilities tsaka TOR na nakuha pagka-graduate. Sapat na ba yun? Thanks!

Same lahat naman tayo ng naisip before. Pero yon nga hindi natin malalaman kung di natin susubukan. Isipin mo nalang mababawi mo rin ung 20k hehe

J_Oz · July 2015

@thisisme1 yes BS CS ako. Ikaw? Hmm docs un required lang ng ACS... COE eith job desc and compensation tapos TOR and diploma. Lahat yan CTC

appledeuce · July 2015

Hi guys,

Has anyone here undergone the ACS assessment and submitted a Tagalog Diploma + English Transcript of Records? Nakalagay naman sa TAgalog diploma yung degree in English (e.g. Bachelor of Sc. in ) and the transcript has my date of graduation.

Medyo tagilid na kasi ang timeline ko if I have to secure an english translation of my diploma pa.

nevergiveup · July 2015

Guys, need your help... anyone here nakapagpareview na ng result sa ACS? I am planning kasi na ipareview ang result ko to change the nominated ANZSCO Code from Developer Programmer to 261313 - Software Engineer.

May I know the process please... naghahabol po kasi ako ng points.

TIA.

inGodsGrace_ · July 2015

Hi Guys! I just wAnt to say thank you to all because we were able to gey positive results from ACS. Hubby is a software tester but he was assesed as software engineer. We just tried our luck if suitable sya for soft eng kasi tester is not included in SOL. We need nomination pa kung tester ang anzco namin. Anyways i just want also to give advice to those testers na try to assea as software engineer first para included sa SOL.

Thanks again!

kittykitkat18 · July 2015

Good to hear that. Ilang yrs po ang credited sa experience?

inGodsGrace_ · July 2015

@kittykitkat18 4 years lang kasi 6 years pa lang syang tester.

nadeduct ng 2 years. So 5 pts lang pero oks na un.

J_Oz · July 2015

@inGodsGrace_ curious lang, pano nyo nilagay yong sa job descriptions?

inGodsGrace_ · July 2015

@J_Oz kung ano po talaga ung job details ni hubby as a tester. Sa COE po. Then nagkaron lang ng isang stat dec sa isang company signed naman po nung project manager nya.

Here's the job details nya sa isang company (pinakamaikli na job detail) pero they still count it.

inGodsGrace_ · July 2015

We were also thinking na if di suitable for soft eng, ACS might contact us to inform na we should try anzco code for software tester.

kittykitkat18 · July 2015

@inGodsGrace_ ok na din yan may pts nacredit sa inyo. Hubby ko din main applicant.wait pa nmn coe ng current company nya pra makapag-acs. Buti counted ung coe ng hubby mo khit hndi sobrang detailed ung description. Goodluck sa PTE ni hubby mo

J_Oz · July 2015

@inGodsGrace_ thats good to hear. I asked kasi may officemate ako who is into software testing baka interested din siya itry hehe

raiden14 · July 2015

@nevergiveup - pwede naman, you just have to pay again. Its a risk.
BTW your skills is still open in SA. Ilang points ka na po ba?

inGodsGrace_ · July 2015

@kittykitkat18 thank you! Eto lang naman ung hindi masyado detailed na
Job. We just really tried it if ook ung result kung hindi atleast we tried.

goodluck kay hubby mo.

inGodsGrace_ · July 2015

@J_Oz try nya kasi sayang e. Actually nung nagdecide kami na igo na syang soft eng kesa tester e ok na lahat ng documents. D na namin tiningnan yung job details ng soft eng sa ACS. Parang bahala na lang si batman.
