Just finished my IELTS exam last Sat. Ngayon, pagkakaabalahan ko naman yung isa-submit sa assessing body.
On the course syllabi:
1. Do I need it for all courses? O yung relevant lang sa assessing body (i.e., accounting courses)?
2. Yung course description ba sa university website is sufficient? Sabi kasi sa FAQs ng CA ANZ, "If you have not retained your course outlines, you must contact your university and ask them to provide you with the description of the subjects." Description na lang ang hiningi which is in the website na.
Thanks a lot!

Quick questions please. Gano ba katagal processing ng ITA? Will have submitted my e-Medical and this week. Also, tama ba na wala akong i-aattach na docs sa "Qualifications and Work Experience in Australia" na line items kasi hindi naman sila applicable sa akin?
Thanks!

For background, I applied Jul 2015 with 60 points but did not hear back. Come July 2016, I took the PTE Academic exam and got a Superior rating. 2 months later I got an ITA.

Pwede bang pagsabayin ang pagpasa ng work experience at educational qualification sa CPAA? Or should i wait for a positive result for my bachelors degree?
Kindly advise.
Thanks and all the best to everyone.

I recently passed the minimum english score required for skill migration assessment. Next step ko po is to gather all required documents. I will be nominating external auditor as my occupation kasi external audit po ang background ko since i graduated.
I was first employed by a non-big4 firm (i was with them for about a year) and I contacted them requesting for a JD. Unfortunately, they don't issue daw detailed JD. They told me that i can send them a template with all the details that i need including the JD for them to check and validate and if ok, they'll ask the managing partner to sign as per my request. Baka po meron dito sa forum na similar experience 1year as a junior external auditor at any firm who can share a copy of JD which i can use as draft template.
Thanks a lot!
