Kayalang baket hindi archi draftsman ang ipa assess mo since archi grad ka? Correct me if I'm wrong pero alam ko may bearing ung natapos mo eh kase inaassess din nila yun. Ganyan kase nangyari saken CE grad nman ako pero mostly archi works ginagawa ko.

Just joined the forum 2 weeks ago and currently preparing docs for assessment. I'm an IT professional so I've been sending inquiries in the ACS thread as well. I've been seeing some comments that other option for the assessment aside from ACS is VETASSESS. Ano po ba mas ok na option if I want an "easier" or mas "lenient" na approach?
Thanks!

sa case ko may 6 yrs akong pinaassess sa vetassess. then 1 year dun sa 6 years para dun sa qualifying period requied to meet the skill level of the nominated or closely related ANZSCO occupation. tapos yung rest na 5 years sana para sa points na claim ko. kaso yung 2 years dun sa isang employment ko, sabi not closely related. kaya bumaba ng 3 yrs lang yung work experience ko. instead na 10 points ako sa skillselect, naging 5 points na lang.
I'm thinking ipa-review ko yung outcome ng assessment. sayang kasi.

ang paranoia ko actually ay KUNG nilagy or finill up ng agent ko yung statutory declaration na pinasa sa vetasess.binigay ko lang sa kanya mga COE ko. typical coe stating ano job title ko at kelan ako nagstart kelan nag resign at magkano sweldo. tpos parang sya na bahala nagasikaso. sabi may mga lawyers sila. agency kasi. let say, walang pinasa ang agent ko ng gnun? siguro naman mag tatanong ang vetassess for that right??
hope you can enlighten me salamat ulit

Worry ko kasi yung statutory declaration coe lang pinasa ko. Usually ba tinatwag yan ng vetassess kung hslimbawa di pinasa ng agent? Actually tinwsgn ko sila. They said, yung legal team nila nagpasa ng statutory declaration based on the coe,s i gave them. Rewriting siguro. But again im still skeptical. Best thing i can do nlaang sguro is to wait. Nakapraning lang mag antay. Anyway salamt ulit sa reply

Wala akong pinirmahang any statutory declaration sa mga bosses ko. Ginawa lang ata nila and notarized. Let say they didnt submitted it, vetassess could have asked it to send again? Last reply sa amin payslip lang hiningi. Salamat sa reply
