VETASSESS question

loveit · July 2012

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to have my skill assessment through vetassess and I'm just wondering if sa certificate of employment kelangan ko na ilagay lahat ang position for the past 6 years. I worked in the same company from rank and file until such time na naging sup at manager ako....kelangan pa bang ilagay yun sa COE or ok lang na ilagay ko yung pinaka recent na position?

Thanks in advance.

@loveit - there's no harm in including your other work experiences.. lalo na kung closely related sya sa skill na pinapa-assess mo.. also, makikita nila how you reached your current position..

@lock_code2004 - thanks alot!

hello po, may question ako uli,

I'm currently a Corporate Training officer and looking at the responsibilities outlined for 223311 - Training and Development professional, my current job is really comparable with it. Though I'm a little bit hesitant because my specialization is Information Technology and not Airforce or Navy which is stated on the webiste. My question is, is it still possible to submit and have my skills assessed even though I have a different specialization?

Thanks in advance.

@loveit - don't worry they use "specialization" just to distinguish other OCCUPATIONS within the same UNIT GROUP..

In your case you belong to UNIT GROUP 2233 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS, with your OCCUPATION 223311 Training and Development Professional.. assessment are based on Occupation and not on specialization..

If you would like to further understand, you can read how job classification works (Major/SubMajor/Group/Unit Group/Occupation/Specialization) :

hello! gusto ko rin po sanang sa vetassess ako magpa assess kasi di pa okay IELTS ko, plan ko mag retake next year. At isa pa po mababa lang din grades ko nong college ako pero may 10 years work experience na ako. Tama po ba ang decision ko? Salamat!

lock_code2004 · October 2012

@michel_75 hi.. welcome to the forum.
- first you need to check which occupation are you going to nominate.
- your choice of skill/occupation should be related to your work experience and qualification.
- verify if that skill/occupation can be assessed by Vetassess

if your nominated occupation can be assessed by Vetassess, then its possible..
give more information about your circumstances so we can give concrete suggestions..

how long is the turnaround time in VETASSESS nowadays? Four months above pa rin ba ang processing time?

Hello, I'm about to submit my application for skill assessment by tomorrow..do you guys, recommend to avail the point advise letter? May extra cost po kc, just wondering whether its necessary. And also, just to clarify, IELTS is not a requirement for vetassee assessment right? So I can take IELTS while waiting for the result of my skills assessment yah? Thnx in advance for answering my queries.

Boyolo · October 2012

@carla_glam i would recommend you also apply for the point advise letter if ONLY you would be claiming points for your years of work experience, except that it doesnt count and YES you can goe ahead with your VETASSESS assessment while waiting to write IELTS.

carla_glam · October 2012

Hi @Boyolo, thanks for your prompt response. You mean its necessary po to get the point advise letter if I need to claim points for my work experience? If I won't avail the point advise, DIAC won't count my work experience? How about education qualification? Does Point advise letter can actually advise what is ur equivalent points? Greatly appreciate your help

Thanks!

Boyolo · October 2012

@carla_glam actually under the new Skillselect system, point advise letter (usually called advisory letter) is not compulsory but it is HIGHLY advisable to get it if you have atleast three (3) years work experience ( i got one for my 5 years work experience). Even DIAC recommends it. The advisory letter is to tell DIAC that your years of work experience is relevant to the nominated occupation. if you dont get an advise letter, DIAC will still count your work expereince but they will have to evaluate the work experience to know if it is relevant to your nominated skill which the advise letter would have done already.Vetassess would not state your point on the letter but will state the years of work experience that they believe is relevant to your nominated skill. from the years of relevant work experience, you can calculate your point from DIAC website - 3 yrs to less than 5years = 5 points, 5 years to less than 8 years = 10 points, and 8 years = 15 points (for overseas work experience anyway).
I hope I answered your question. feel free to ask whateva area is still not clear.

Hi Carla,I didn't avail the point advise letter but I still got a positive assessment from Vet.HTH

michel_75 · October 2012

@lock_code2004 ahh okay...salamat ha!

michel_75 · October 2012

Hi @skyline! anong ninominate mong occupation mo?

michel_75 · October 2012

ako din kasi parang hindi ko na rin ipapa assess work experience ko kasi nabasa ko sa booklet, hindi naman mandatory, sayang yong AU$300.

skyline · October 2012

Hi @skyline! anong ninominate mong occupation mo?

Hi Michel,recruitment consultant ako.I think one would still need an assessment,what am I referring to that is not mandatory is the points test advice.

michel_75 · October 2012

@skyline so sir you suggest na pati employment na rin? mahal kasi bayad hehehe

skyline · October 2012

Hi Michel,yes it's expensive but at least ma sure mo kung ilang years yung relevant sa nominated occupation mo na acceptable sa DIAC.

michel_75 · October 2012

Hi @skyline! Sige icoconsider ko yan, salamat ha! Baka po pwede nyong sabihin kung san ka consultant para makapunta kami ng friend ko. Medyo nalilito pa kasi kami. Pero yong free consultation ha, hehehe!

Boyolo · October 2012

@skyline and @michel_75 although point test letter (advisory letter) is not mandatory, it is still highly recommended one get it if you would be claiming point for your years of work experience. The advisory letter is quite different from the normal assessment. The advisory letter is to tell DIAC that your work experience has been assessed to either be relevant or not to your nominated skill while the NORMAL assessment is to assess the relevance of your educational qualification and most recent 12 months work experience to your nominated occupation.Although the letter is not mandatory, DIAC still recommends it (see DIAC booklet 6 page 23 & 24).

carla_glam · October 2012

Hi @Boyolo, thanks for your insight. I have submitted my skill assessment to Vetassee last night, I have availed their Point Advisory Letter to ease my worries na rin & I believe it will expedite the process ng DIAC once I lodge my visa application, since they will take into consideration ung opinion ng Vetassee regarding my employment claim points.

Hi @skyline, thanks for your reply. I'm glad to know u got positive result na sa VETASSEE. Godbless sa application naten
