Reason nila kasi daw meron silang global standard na sinusunod so hindi nila pwede baguhin yong format ng COE. dinagdag lang nila doon sa standard COE ko yong statement na Full time, tapos hours per week, permanent in the company, position, and yong duration ng employment.
Tanong ko po, will the ACS during assessment will give credit to this type of arrangement? Tinignan ko po kasi yong mga previous thread at wala akong nabasa na same situation ko.
Thanks po in advance sa lahat.

Overall work experience ko po Software Tester pero yong positions sa COE ko meron Software Test Engineer, Software Validation Engineer at Software QA Executive. Pwede po hingi ng advise whether should I go with Software Engineer or Software Tester sa assessment, since wala sa visa 189 yong Software Tester. Maraming salamat..

I am an IT consultant and I started working last 2012 and until now, same profession pa rin. Ang concern ko po kasi is from Apr2012-Nov2016, one company. Then Nov2016-present, different na. Kaso nagpplano kasi ako bumalik sa old company ko due to some personal reasons. May effect po kaya ito sa assessment ko if ever? Same role po lahat naman.
Thank you in advance

Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Your qualification has been assessed as follows:
Your Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from University of xxxx completed April 2007 has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Diploma with a major in computing.
The following employment after July 2015 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Dates: 02/07 - 08/08 (1yrs 6mths)
Position: Product Support - Technical Support Engineer
Employer: XYZ
Country: PHILIPPINES
Dates: 01/11 - 09/11 (0yrs 8mths)
Position: Network Engineer
Employer: ABC
Country: PHILIPPINES
Dates: 09/11 - 06/12 (0yrs 9mths)
Position: Network Engineer
Employer: AAA
Country: SINGAPORE
Dates: 06/12 - 02/17 (4yrs 8mths)
Position: Senior Network and VOIP Engineer
Employer: BBB
Country: SINGAPORE
The following employment has been assessed as not suitable.
Dates: 12/09 - 01/11 (0yrs 0mths)
Position: Network Engineer - Not Assessable due to Insufficient Detail
Employer: CCC
Country: PHILIPPINES
--> work from home po ako dito sa employer na to kaya ang nakalagay sa COE ko, walang country kung saan ako nakabased.
SO kung eto po ang nakalagay na after July 2015 lang ang considered appropriate skilled relevant, ibig sabihin less than 2 years lang yun. So di ako makakakuha ng points sa Qualification? Ano po ba pwede kong gawin? Need ko ba mag re-appeal? mukhang 5 years deduction yung kinuha nila eh. Appreciate your advice po.

Yes you are correct. Experience mo from July 2015 onward ang pede mo ma claim.
You can file your EOI on July 2017 para ma complete mo yung 2 years which is equivalent to 5 points sa skill score.

My only question now is, when i submit my EOI in Skillselect, do i need to enter all my work experience? I have 15yrs in total, all were deemed relevant but only 9yrs were credited for skilled employment. Now, I saw this instruction there in Skillselect to only enter experience for the past 10yrs. Im quite unsure if i should enter 15yrs or 9. Hope you guys can help me. Appreciate it a lot!

pag asa CSOL sila, check mo rin kung aling states ung open for state sponsorship at kung gusto mo ba dun. fyi, ang pagkakaalam ko closed ang sponsorship ng Victoria (Melbourne) until July ata.
i've also seen before na may report na nakapublish online about kung ilang points and kelan nag-apply ung mga latest na na-approve. so from there you can check ung competition mo for the slots. sorry nga lang pero inde ko na mahanap ung link ngaun.

As for why they deduct experience, based from their senior assessor, it is to meet the suitability criteria with respect to their guidelines. ICT occupation is a very competitive space nowadays kaya siguto ganun sila unlike sa ibang assessing bodies ng AU.
I suggest you read more about ACS, para pag dating mo ng 5th year mo, you know what to expect and how they assess. Read about the ICT units ng nominated occupation mo. Read about how your nominated occupation relates to your education background and employment. Read more. lahat ng ito ay nasa website nila.
