You need Skills assessment first. u may refer to https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/7319/Skills-Assessment-Guidelines-for-Applicants.pdf for the ACS Skills assessment

@jfermalansmc

You can also take PTE instead of IELTS, as for the ACS you need to prepare all your COE with the details based on the ACS requirement.

Also, an IT planning to go to Australia, currently processing my COE's medyo madami kasi. instead of taking IELTS I'm leaning towards taking the PTE.

One question though, PTE Academic ba? Thanks everyone.

jandm · December 2015

@louieg yes po..PTE Academic

louieg · December 2015

@jandm Thanks ang bilis ng process mo ah.

yung mga COE ang ngpapatagal sakin.

Hi mates, thank you for your responses. Btw, I already have a medical referral letter.. i wanted to do it today cos it will be the last working day for the year then resumes on Jan 4.. but I currently have a cough. normal cough nothing serious lol but is it okay to do medical despite I have a cough?

thank you!!

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@filipinacpa i suggest January ka na magpamedical ma'am. para sigurado clear ang lungs and in top condition. mas ok na magpostpone ng ilang araw kesa ma-referred or deferred dahil sa slight irregularities which would cause you weeks/months delayed. hehe. just my opinion lang po.

hello po mga kaforumers,

ask ko lang pano ba mag lagay ng employment sa EOI pag ACS ang nag assessed? Kasi may nbasa ako sa expat (d ko masyadong matandaan) na may irrelevant and relevant kang ilalagay.. Yung letter ko ang sabi after June 2006 is considered to equate to work at an approximately skill level.. I am currently unemployed and last day ko po sa work is July 2014.. Nag start po akong maging employed sa previous company na pinasukan ko eh August 2003 pa.. pero ang lang ng ACS eh after June 2006 po.. THank you po in advance and Merry Christmas po sa lahat

flowercrown19 · December 2015

Hello! Merry Christmas!!!

Question lang sana, instead of taking IELTS General, we are opting to take PTE kasi sabi nila mas okay. Sa PTE ba, General din i-take namin? kasi may nabasa ako dito na Academic dapat.

Thanks!

louieg · December 2015

last time I asked it should be academic.

if that's the case..pwede ka mag add ng 2 separate work experience entries for that employment..bale yung isa from August 2003 - June 2006 then "No" ung iselect mo sa question na "Is this employment related to the nominated occupation?"..then yung isa naman from July 2006 - July 2014 "Yes" naman..so ang pwede mo iclaim e 8 yrs..

Good day po mga Sir/Madam, Just wanted to ask about my situation. I am a graduate of 2yrs Associate Degree. Then I work as a System Administrator for 3.5yrs then I went abroad to work as Telecom Technician for 3yrs. I came back to the Philippines to finish my Bachelor's Degree then I graduated with BS Degree now. The question is which assessor should I choose ACS or TRA? Can anyone please give me an advised. Thank you very much, God bless.

Room4Rent · December 2015

@louieg, Question lang po from your signature, ung bang ACS compliant COE na sinasabi mo ay "Certificate of Employment na ACS Compliant? Does that mean to say meron dapat format ung COE?

Francis046 · December 2015

hi. Check mo muna ung Job code na related sayo under ANZSCO; Also refer to SOL and CSOL job list. You can check san closely related occupation mo ngaun.

Naka-indicate ung assessing jan.

seochecruz · December 2015

Hi Guys, Ask ko lng po kung ano ung SOL ko, newbie lng po ako and i am trying to understand the process.

My work experience is in line with Digital Maketing po, Search engine optimization, search campaign specialist PPC google, facebook and yahoo.

Francis046 · December 2015

@kendz_shelou Thank you, Medyo nalilito po kasi ako dati po sa IT trabaho ko at ngaun naman ay sa Telecom na talaga trabaho ko sa FTTH to be exact po.kapag pinili ko si ACS mag access sakin as SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR wlang points yata sa work experience ko ang macredit. Ngaun naman po since nasa TELECOM TECHNICIAN na ako problem ko po if si TRA naman ako magpapa assess malamang po ay di sya maging successful kasi wla sa mga subject ko ang sa telecom. Please advise naman po if meron na naka experience ganito. Thank you po sa lahat.

kendz_shelou · December 2015

@seochecruz check this out. Check mo din ANZSCO code kung san related ung occupation mo.

http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/SOL

kendz_shelou · December 2015

@Francis046 I suggest, read mo ung ANZSCO codes ng SOL or CSOL. Malalaman mo dun kung ano ang pde macredit sa experiences mo. Nabasa mo na ba ung sa ANZSCO codes? Basahin mo din ung guidelines ng ACS at TRA. NDe ako familiar sa TRA eh. Pero sa ACS, may Skills MET DATE sila at Skill experience.
