Hi guys! Paano kapag BS Computer Science graduate pero hindi nakapagwork ng related sa course nya? May ibang way pa ba para makakuha ng points sa education? Anong assessing body yung pwede nya pag-assessan halimbawa makapili sya ng ibang occupation from list na hindi related naman sa natapos nya? Kasi kapag sa ACS for sure hindi sya suitable for migration.

Sorry if magulo yung question ko.

AFAIK ang mag aassess pa rin sayo is yung assessing authority ng nominated occupation mo. Ang mangyayari is RPL route din siguro so most likely VETASSESS will assess your education qualification.

Kun anong skills assessing body may assess nung work nia dun din iassess education nia. for example, bs comsci sia pero working as a café of restaurant manager, then his education will be assessed by VETASSESS din kun equivalent ba sa bachelor’s degree or diploma

@mmuela check nyo sa mga job posting sites if maraming open na positions para sa job nyo. Mahirap na ma-lock sa NSW for 2 years dahil hindi sila nagbibigay ng release letter.

may release letter pala pag visa 190 pero lilipat sa ibang state? i didn't know na may formal process pala pag ganun. akala ko moral commitment lang to stay with the sponsoring state for the first 2 years. thanks sa info.

Hi Guys

ako po ay isang Computer Engineering Graduate noong 2009, and nag tratrabaho na din sa loob ng halos walong taon as IT Helpdesk, System Administrator, Infrastucture Engr., gusto ko din po sana mag apply as Permanet Resident pa Australia kaso medyo na ooverwhelm po ako sa kung paano at saan mag sisimula.

@auitdreamer release letter, if wala ka mahanap na trabaho sa sponsoring state mo for 3 to 6 months ata, after nyong mag settle, ay pede na kayo lumipat ng ibang state para maka move on.

for 190 lang ata yung mga release letter.

auitdreamer · January 2017

@Heprex Oooh! May ganoon pala

Salamat sa pagsagot sa tanong ko.

Heprex · January 2017

@auitdreamer no probs. Been doing some research kase ako lately about state sponsorship.

Hi Sir. I am about to send my documents for ACS assessment for Computer Network and Systems Engineer.

Sir for my case po, I came from a section 3 school. I am an ECE graduate, with 11 years of experience being a Network/Systems Engineer.

Sir in anticipation lang po for appeal/review, may chance po ba yung case ko even galing ako sa section 3 na school and no PRC license? Mejo anxious ako sa result kasi mejo dehado ako sa School.

Thanks in advance.

hi All -

I submitted my education and skills documents to ACS for assessment yesterday. How soon do you think the result comes out based on your experiences? Also, has anyone of you completed the degree in ladderrized program?

Like:
Diploma #1: finished Technology course (year 2000); then work for 7 years.
Diploma #2: After working 7 years, continued to the degree program (finished 2007) while working and still working up to now.

Thanks!

mmuela · January 2017

@Chad based on my experience with ACS, it only took me 3 weeks for the assessment. Kung wala additional documents na nirerequire sayo, then mabilis lang sya.

Ang alam ko sa Education; based yan sa School Section and Units mo. Check mo school & section mo dito: http://pinoyau.info/plugin/page/accredited-schools

auitdreamer · January 2017

@Chad ACS Results come out in about 10 days.

No idea about how things go with regard to your degree. Let's wait for the others to respond.

Heprex · January 2017

@einra2k2 Hello, you can take your chances by appealing, but it will cost you if your appeal is not granted. ECE is closely related to our nominated occupation based on our transcript. Just hope that your CO is considerate.

vandazzle · January 2017

Hi. Question regarding English Exam. My nominated occupation is Software Engineer. If I will take IELTS, should I take the Academic or the General Training one? Also, gaano katagal makuha result? Thank you.

Heprex · January 2017

@vandazzle yung general po kunin nyo. Not sure how long ang results sa IELTS.

Sana balik ka dito after you receive your assessment. Your situation is tricky, I can envision 2 possible outcomes:

1. If ACS assessed your 1st course in 2000, education should be AQF diploma worth 10 points then work experience will be deducted by at least 5 years.

2. If ACS started assessment on your bachelor degree, education might be assessed as AQF bachelor worth 15 points, but first 7 years of work experience might be nullified as work experience claim eligibility will start once you complete your degree. Work experience will be further deducted by 2-4 years depending on your course.

I'd like to find out how ACS comes up with their decisions based on these situations. Results should be out in about 10 working days/ 2 weeks. Thanks!

studio719 · January 2017

@vandazzle pwede na yung general. and for the results, ung sa akin sa british council sa singapore, after 2 weeks ung release ng results. you can confirm na rin dun sa testing centre na pagkukunan mo.

vandazzle · January 2017

Thanks @Heprex and @studio719. I am thinking of taking the PTE na lang lol. Mas mataas daw chance for higher scores? Btw, would anyone know gano katagal mag assess these days ang ACS? Mine moved to stage 4 on Jan20 after a week of submitting (Jan13). Not sure how long it will be in stage 4 kasi I've read iba iba ang progress from stage 4 to 5. And is it possible na from stage 4, bumalik sa stage 3?Thanks!

auitdreamer · January 2017

@vandazzle pansin ko it takes about 2-3 business days to get from Stage 4 to 5. Don't worry! You'll receive the results soon!

ladymamba24 · January 2017

@SAP_Melaka Hello! Hindi pa sya nakakapili dun sa list of occupations, pero I advised him na na hindi sya pwede sa ACS since nagdededuct ng relevant work experience dito.

@rich88 Thank you. Dapat makapili muna sya from the list. Kasi parang sa household ata sya, OFW.

einra2k2 · January 2017

@Heprex

Thanks sa response sir. Very much appreciated po.

lastly sir, anu po ang section na iyong school? Section 1 po ba?

Heprex · January 2017

@einra2k2 section 3 din.

einra2k2 · January 2017

@Heprex

Maraming salamat sir. Actually di pa ko nag papasa. Gumagawa lang muna ko ng Disaster Recovery Plan.

Heprex · January 2017

@einra2k2 Hahaha, parang ikaw yung na-ask ko dati din dito. hahaha submit ka na, and hope for the best.

eujin · January 2017

hello guys, good afternoon.. question lang po, alam naman po naten na ang supporting docs lang na tatanggapin for statutory declaration ay:

- Certified copy of payslips – preferably first & last payslip for the employment period
- Certified copy a Human Resource statement or Service Certificate with employment dates
- Certified copy of a Termination Letter with employment dates

hindi po kasi makakahingi ung wife ko ng 2nd doc and 3rd doc po is not applicable since currently working pa siya sa company. so payslip lang po talaga mapoprovide namen.

ok lang po ba na hindi ung first payslip ang iprovide namen, hindi na nya kasi makita ung mga nauna nyang payslip for the whole 2013.. 2014 na po yung earliest dated payslip na meron siya.. ok lang po kaya ito? or iaassess po ng ACS na not suitable ung whole 2013?

(ps. nagstart po siya dito sa current nung june 2013 and wala po siya work from january - may 2013)

einra2k2 · January 2017

@Heprex

Hahaha di ko na maalala. Natigil ako ng 2 months napadala me offshore for work. Back to the ballgame na ko ulit. buti ka pa layo na ng progress mo

auitdreamer · January 2017

@eujin Bakit di pwedeng humingi ng Human Resource statement (COE) dahil working pa sya doon? Dapat pwedeng magrequest ng past payslips and nang COE from HR

If you're claiming points for this particular company/employment, especially pag maglodge ka na ng visa application mo, important na meron ka ng evidence of employment sa first year so best to request na past payslips (at syempre yung COE).

Heprex · January 2017

@eujin I agree with @auitdreamer . try to secure a generic COE, I see no reason na hindi ka nila bigyan. I think wala naman kaso sa ACS kung ano nakalagay sa purpose ng COE eh.

just my 2 cents.

eujin · January 2017

salamat sa responses guys @auitdreamer @Heprex ... minsan kasi inaakala ng HR, nagaapply kame sa bagong company kaya kame humihingi ng generic COE.. palibhasa, laging kelangan may purpose yung COE lalo na't employed pa.. anyway, nagtry na kame humingi ng past payslips nya sa year na yun.. hopefully makakuha kame..
