Hi All,

Newbie here currently preparing my COEs for ACS skill assessment. I was a contractor for 2years and 3 months deployed in company A but I was under 3 consulting companies/"agencies" (Agency 1-1yr3mos, Agency2-10mos, Agency3-2mos) during the entire 2years 3mos.

Question, can I merge the 3 COEs that I got from my 3 agencies and count them as 1 work experience (1pdf file for assessment) since continuous naman akong nagrereport sa kanila kahit na nagbago yung agency ko? Kung paghihiwalayain ko naman sila parang absurd na same yung JDs and projects ko sa tatlong COE.

Please help, gusto ko na mag-apply for skill assessment. TIA sa magrereply!!!

@dulce_007 hmm... usually kung saang payroll ka andun, un dapat ung nagbibigay ng work reference letter. hindi naman siya magmumukhang weird, kasi detailed roles and responsibilities ung isu-sulat. pwede nga di isama ang name ng assigned "company a" mo sa work reference letter.

dulce_007 · April 2016

@prcand thanks! weird kase I just spent two months with Agency 3 before ako magresign, e hindi ko na maalala kung ano yung nagawa kong project during my last two months sa client so yung mga project engagement na nakalagay sa COE ko with Agency 3 ay same sa projects with Agency 1 & 2

Hi All,
Preparing also the documents for ACS assessment. Question, ung 3rd company ko ayaw magbigay ng COE na may duties performed, pede ko ba wag na lang isama since 4 months pa lang ako? Ma-count kaya ung kahit wala pa 1 yr. Thank you in advance.

@lcsagumjr pwede naman statutory declaration, it's up to you though if you want it assessed, if related naman they'd still count it kahit 4months lang.

@guenb Got it. Salamat po sa reply!

Hello,

Badly need your advise.

Already assessed by ACS lately and got positive result kahit 7yrs ang binawas sa exp ng hubby ko.

Any suggestion po kung ano pwede pandagdag pts except eilts?

System admin ang nominated skill ng asawa ko.

Thanks po

se29m · April 2016

@Samantita pte instead of ielts, partner skills points, dapat nasa sol ang nominated occupation ni partner and can try to consider also getting a state sponsorship for additional points

Hi, just want to ask if ma assess as equivalent to Diploma with ICT major in computing 5 years lng ba bawas sa experience? medyo nalito ksi ako dto e

"If your Diploma or Vendor Certification is assessed as having an ICT major which is closely
related to your nominated occupation, you will require 5 years relevant work experience
completed within the past 10 years or 6 years relevant work experience completed anytime in your past work history (whichever provides the earliest skill date) to meet the suitability criteria."

tama ba pagkaintindi ko na 5 years lng ibabawas pag yng experience is competed with 10years at 6 years naman pag wala pang 5 years yng experience within past 10 years?

pinoycoder · April 2016

@Hunter_08 if relevant yung experience. pag hindi naman e 6 years.

Hunter_08 · April 2016

@pinoycoder thanks. so pag relevant yng experience 5years lng ibabawas?

Hi,

Would just like to ask on the uploading of required documents for ICT Skills Assessment. Is this correct in preparing the scanned documents as PDF files.

Preparing Documents to Upload into the Online Application Form:
4.) Scan and Save the certified copies into a PDF format

- Consolidate all pages into one PDF document for each qualification and each employment entry.

Required Documents:

1. Birth Certificate or Passport – Applicant details page only, not full passport (1 PDF file)
2. Degree or Award Certificate (1 PDF file)
- Title of Degree or Award
- Name of University or Awarding Institution
- Date the Degree or Award was completed – the qualification will be assessed as NOT suitable if there is no documented evidence that the degree has been completed and awarded.
3. Degree or Award Transcript (1 PDF file)
- Unit or Subject Names and Grades or Marks Achieved
4. Employment References (1 PDF file per employer)
5. If you apply for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) application, you will need to submit an ACS Recognition of Prior Learning Form. (1 PDF file)

Thank you in advance.

- Argel

@ajboy correct.

or what i can suggest is to create a dummy account in ACS so that you can familiarize yourself with the procedure and see the steps on how to upload the documents. You just need to choose the appropriate option and match it with the same pdf name, then upload.

P.S: each pdf should be no higher than 200 dpi.

ajboy · April 2016

@pinoycoder I see. Might try your suggestion. Thank you so much!

pinoycoder · April 2016

Hello guys, ask ko lang sa mga naka experience na ng ganito. for example yung job contract ko mag end ng June 30, pero mag papapaassess ako ulit ng June 6, yung ilalagay ba sa COE ay "recent / to date or yung end date na june 30"?

if "recent / to date" ang nilagay ko and na approved after ng june for example, then july nag lodge ako and end na contract ko, hindi ba magkakaconflict nun sa pag lodge ng experience kasi nga na end na contract nun? kasi nga hindi na recent experience ko.

salamat sa makakatulong.

se29m · April 2016

@pinoycoder i think should not be aproblem. Since hindi ka pa naman out of that conpany when you lodged your application. Just leave the date open first. You can suffice it naman later with a confirmation of resignation letter when asked by dibp
