Ask ko lang if kailangan talaga i-submit ang college diploma? Di ba enough yung certificate from PRC after nung board exam? Nakalimutan ko kasing in Filipino pala yung diploma ko. Eh ready na sana ako to submit for assessment. Not sure how long it will take for my school to provide a translated version.
Anyone with a similar experience?
Thank you!

1. Napansin kop o, most of you guys go for CPAA for assessment, just wondering why no one opt for ICA and CA.
2. Hnd po ako Accountant, ako po ay Fin Executive, preparing FS s current job ko. As compared s description ng Accountant JD s website, I think s 9 yrs of experience ko prang 25% lng s list ang kasama s job scope ko. Is CPAA super strict when it comes to assessment sa job experience? Meron po b kaung masasuggest n dapat kong gawin pra makuha ang max points s job experience?
3. Is COE with job description enough documentation to claim exp points? Or kelangan b lahat ng company n pinagworkan ko mag issue ng reference letter?
4. If magtutuloy po ako s application, I will include my de facto partner. I believe one requirement is a language test or letter from school ata un. However, sabi ng agent nung nagpa assess kmi, only those degree grads ang pwede kumuha ng letter from university to prove their English capability, diploma graduates are not considered, hence need mag IELTS/PTE. Tama po b? Wala po kasi akong nakitang ganung rule nung nagbasa basa ako.
Yan lng po muna. Salamt po

1. CPAA is cheaper ata compared to other assessing bodies sa accounting/audit field.
2. You should have detailed JDs from all of your employer (former & current).
3. COE from all of your employer (former & current) with detailed employment status on each employer. (date of start to end, position, salary, required working hours, etc.)
4. I think you can include your partner's English proficiency exam result for additional points.
You still need to be assessed on your degree qualification. Syllabus or Course Description from your school, diploma, TOR, prc (if any) are to be submitted for this assessment.

Regarding reference letters po ulit, I think magkakaroon ako ng problema obtaining reference letter in one of my previous employers dahil sa away nmn ng x boss ko though meron naman akong detailed COE (with jd). Will I be given credit sa experience in this company kahit walang reference letter? 2 yrs dn kc un and I need it to sum my exp to 9 yrs (aiming for max points).
