pwede naman atang hanggang sa EA assessment ka nalang magbayad sa kanila para makatipid ka. yung sa pag-lodge ng EOI at pag-apply ng VISA kayang kaya mong gawin yun. marami dito ang walang agent, basa-basa lang.
OT: eto naman yung para sa VISA subclass 189 requirements basahin mo lang matututunan mo na ang mga dapat mong gawin di na kailangan ng agent

I'm a Facilities Manager by occupation but I am an electrical engineer. I have been in this field of work for the last 10 years dito sa PH. Are there any pinoys here who are in the same profession in AU? I was wondering if EA ba or VETASSESS would be the best assessment venue for my profession. I was told also that to get a favourable outcome you need to get as close as possible to the job description of your current role/job, so far I have submitted my assessment application to VETASSESS kasi sa kanila ang assessment ng Facilities Manager.
I would greatly appreciate any inputs.
Thank you in advance.
