Anything new on this?

brownie · July 2012

Hello po sa lahat! Patanong naman, naghahanda pa lng ako for degree assessment at litong-lito na ako. Eto po info ko:

BSc Industrial Engineering (UST) - makakakuha na ba ako ng 15 points dito? Tapos may Master's din ako (MBA) kaya lng wala naman ang MBA sa Schedule A, so mas may chance po ako kung yung Industrial Eng'g ang ipapa-assess ko, tama po ba intindi ko? Or kailangan ko ba i-submit pareho degrees? Gano katagal po itong assessment (months? weeks?)? Kailangan din po mag-submit ng relevant experience para makuha ang 15 points for the degree?

Kailangan din po ba ang IELTS bago magpa-assess (to prove English skills) or pwedeng sa visa application na 'to? Naghahanda pa din ako ksi for IELTS pero gusto ko na sanang ipa-assess na ang mga diploma ko para alam ko for sure ilan ang points.

Salamat po...

Reply to @brownie: are you talking about assessment for Engineers Austalia?

if yes, then:
a) assessment is both based on bachelor's degree and work experience...that is why it is not called degree assessment but "SKILLS assessment"...
b) Engineers Australia needs your IELTS result as part of the assessment requirements.. please double check the minimum required score...
c) you can get 15pts for education, based on your mentioned degree
d) points for your work exeperience will depend on the length of work experience and if your job/s is/are related/closely related to your assessed skill.. (if IE, sympre ung mga IE related jobs)..

for more information on EA skill assessment. there is another thread for that... please check..
you may post your other questions on that thread...

Hi lock_code2004, thank you sa sagot mo

Yes, I'm talking about assessment for Engineers Australia. Kailangan pala madaliin ko na paghahanda sa IELTS. Isa pang question, yung mga recent work experience ko more of sa Business Admin na related kesa sa Industrial Eng'g (nasa 9-10 years ago na IE experience ko), pwede pa ba yon sa tingin mo? Thanks ulit ha!

Reply to @brownie: you're welcome..
I suggest check the IE ANZSCO Code job description, then:
a) compare with your work experience and the job description on your cert of employment,
b) if you can demonstrate those skills in your CDR (this is a requirement for EA assessment), then walang problema...

bethpie · July 2012

@psychoboy tenchu!

No problem - goodluck!

lock_code2004 · September 2012

@piglet24 - i replied to you in the Engrs Corner thread as well..

- Araullo Uni is previously known as Pamantasan ng Araullo..
So nandun sya sa list.... Section 3

Alexcons · September 2012

Just to add something baka makatulong kasi nag pa assessed ako here sa Singapore. If your school is under Section 2, then you will get 10 points. But if you passed the PRC (for engineers, CPA, nurses, etc), then you'll get another 5 points and it will be equivalent to schools under Section 1 (max. 15 points).

I just lodged my EOI on 9-Sep-12 and application for SS on 11-Sep-12 but still waiting for the result..Thanks God.

Hello @Alexcons - what do you mean by nag pa assess sa Singapore?

Correct ka that if your school is under Section 2, then you will get 10 points. But if you passed the PRC (for engineers, CPA, nurses, etc), then you'll get another 5 points and it will be equivalent to schools under Section 1 (max. 15 points) - on top of this, there is also a provision from CEP that if your GPA is above a certain mark, you can still claim maximum of 15 even if your school is not in the section 1 list...

Alexcons · September 2012

Hi @ psychoboy,

Actually, Immigration agent ko here sa Singapore. It may not official assessment from Australian authorities, but they are confident of the same results based on their previous (and succesfull) clients.

Nagpasa ka na ba ng EOI?

parang wala pong nasusulat na ganyan sa website ng diac or any booklet form I've read...
can you provide link sir, I may have miss this info. tia

If it is not official sir, then it is not the way it is...
malinaw naman po ang mga rules and guidelines ng DIAC... wala pong gray area sa mga rules nila...

Just don't want to contribute false hope sa mga kaforum natin... baka iassume nila ang addl 5pts pero hindi naman pala totoo...

but if you can provide proof sir. I stand corrected.

TasBurrfoot · September 2012

Hello @icebreaker1928 - as per the website of Australian Education International, they give guidelines as to how section 1, 2 or 3 schools can be comparable to the educational level of the AQF qualification.

Usually kapag section 1, walang problema ka as they are usually comparable to a bachelors degree in Australia; worth noting are as follows:

Section 3 institutions can be comparable to a bachelor's degree in Australia if:
(1) Bachelor Degree in a professional discipline with (a) 4 or 5 years full-time education, (b) 120-200 credits and (c) Evidence of passing the Professional Regulation Commission’s Licensure Examinations in the relevant professional field.

Section 2 institutions can be comparable to a bachelor's degree in Australia if:
(1) Bachelor Degree with (a) 4 years full-time education, (b) 120-185 credits and (c) Average grade of 1.00 to 2.00, (A to B, or more than 85%)
(2) Bachelor Degree in a professional discipline with (a) 4 years full-time education, (b) 120-185 credits and (c) Evidence of passing the Professional Regulation Commission’s Licensure Examinations in the relevant professional field.
(3) Bachelor Degree with (a) 5 years full-time and (b) Around 200 credits.

Take note that if your degree is comparable to the AU bachelor's, it means 15 pts ka when claiming for your educational background.

ganun dapat. but, your skill assessing body will have a recommendation sa skills assessment result if your degree is comparable to a bachelors degree, diploma, etc. usually, pag section 1 they'll say na it's comparable to a bachelors degree here in au.
