Australian Computer Society Skills Application

chary_29 · February 2017

Hi @Heprex , hingi po ako ng advise sa inyo.. kasi nag back thread ako at nabasa ko din sa guidelines ng ACS kung paano yong assessment nila sa work experience, normally po bah talagang minimum 2 years yong deduction nila base doon sa Skill Level Requirement Met Date na criteria nila?

kasi sa case ko, plan ko sana magpa assess by march or april but then nung nabasa ko yong ibang history dito mostly may deduction na 2 years.. BS Computer Engineering ako, tapos section 1 yong school ko sa list, relevant work experience ko overall 6 yrs /9 months.. so sa May mag 7yrs po ako... if ever 2 years e deduct sakin, advisable na dapat by May na po ako mag submit ng ACS assessment? Thanks po..

Hello guys! May question po ako, meron ba ditong naka experience magpa assess ng 2 different job codes sa ACS? Ni-link nyo po ba ung nauna nyo application nung nagpasa kayo ng bago? Or nag submit kayo totally as "New Application"? Salamat sa sasagot

Bali yung Company AAA ko 4yrs 3months sana ito kaso zero nakuha ko, pro yung sa Company CCC same lang din ng work ang ginagawa ko, or depende sa wording na nakalagay sa COE ko yon.

@Heprex @studio719 baka po alam nyo sagot dito?

Guys ok lng ba kung wala Philippines nakalagay sa address nong office sa COE? Ngayon ko lang napansin City lang nakalagay like Manila, Makati etc...Kita naman yta sa CTC yun.tama b?

Heprex · February 2017

@chary_29 you can submit your ACS assessment now. Counting ng experience naman sa EOI is continuous, basta leave the end date sa EOI as blank. Basta no change of employer, pede ka na mag pa assess.

Regarding sa deduction, it will depends sa nominated occupation mo. pede mo i match yung ICT units ng occupation mo, sa TOR mo. kung mostly related. Then makukuha mo yung ICT major, which is 2 years deduction. Kung ICT minor, 4 years naman deduction.

Sa pag kabasa ko dito. CompEng at ECE at closely related sa 263111.

Tingin ko, not a big issue naman yan. Importante naman is yung Job Details.

Heprex · February 2017

@Chad Congratsssss

Heprex · February 2017

@grapebella Tingin ko hindi Appeal application need mo. Review dapat. Appeal and Review ay mag kaiba. sa Appeal, di ka mag papasa ng additional documents kapag di ka satisfy sa result mo as a whole.

sa Review application naman, like nung iyo, if need mo ipareview yung mga unsuitable exp mo. Just prepare the additional docs, need mo mag provide ng mas detail pa na employment reference on how it really relates sa nominated occupation mo. Read the work details ng 263111 sa ACS to match sa employment reference mo.

Chad · February 2017

@Heprex Thanks po!

grapebella · February 2017

@Heprex Tingin mo pwde ako mag resubmit ng new COE from Company AAA ko den pa review ko? yung lang additional kaya requirements na need ko?

Heprex · February 2017

@grapebella Yes, pede.

grapebella · February 2017

@Heprex Thanks. Aside sa COE ano pa kaya pwde additional documents? Testimonial/Statutory Declarations.

16022017 · February 2017

Hi,

Does anyone here have taken or will be taking the RPL route for assessment? How strict are they when it comes sa details ng project reports? I believe these project reports are essay type and I'd like to ask for some tips if kelangan ba maglagay ng theories or it can be purely based on your own understanding and knowledge of the topics and sub topics.

Thanks in advance!

pidiong09 · March 2017

@Heprex Salamat! done na ako sa wakas! kaka submit ko lng sa ACS!

nehalem · March 2017

hi all, question naman po, kailanga po namin ng husband ko ng additional points, hubby ko yung main applicant sa amin, ok na assessment niya sa EA,however 70 points na yata yung sa Prod Engr. Plan ko sana magpaassess sa ACS to get the 5 additional 5 points.

"a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your partner’s nominated occupation"

ano po bang kailngan kong result from ACS to satisfy yung statement above

Thanks po in advance

16022017 · March 2017

Hi @nehalem

I'm mentioning @Heprex and @studio719 here. They're already knowledgeable of the process already. I need an answer on this same question.

Just an additional question, my fiancee and I are about to get married in a few months, I can claim points for her narin naman no?

Thanks!

boy_sisig · March 2017

Hi Everyone,

Nagstart na ko magcollect ng docs for ACS assessment. Question lang po:
1. if magsasubmit ng docs kay ACS pero color scanned copy naman ang isesend required pa ba ang CTC ?
2. Sa stat dec na gagawin ng supervisor ko para saken, lawyer ba ang magwiwitness nun ? If hindi, sino pwede ?
3. Sa lawyer ba nagpapaCTC ng docs ?

auitdreamer · March 2017

@boy_sisig Yung Stat Dec typically Notary Public ang nagnotarize and nagCTC. Notary Public din magCTC ng other documents.

boy_sisig · March 2017

@auitdreamer thank you. pag magsubmit ba ng docs kay ACS pag colored scanned copy di na kelangan ng CTC or dapat CTC talaga lahat colored man or hindi?

Heprex · March 2017

@nehalem You must received a suitable assessment from ACS. Ingat lang sa SOL at CSOL.

kung ang hubby mo is nasa SOL. Dapat ang occupation na positive assessment sayo ng ACS ay nasa SOL din.

kung ang hubby mo is nasa CSOL. Dapat ang occupation na positive assessment sayo ng ACS ay nasa CSOL din.

Heprex · March 2017

@boy_sisig all documents should be CTCd.

Heprex · March 2017

@16022017 either you are engaged, in defacto, or married. you can claim partner points, as long as he/she satisfy the requirements.

auitdreamer · March 2017

@boy_sisig I photocopied all documents and had them CTC'd.

nehalem · March 2017

@Heprex @16022017 thanks, normal procedure din pla parang sa primary applicant din. Sa English lang pla may difference medyo mababa ng konti at least 6 (IELTS) or 50 (PTE) points sa each components. Thanks ulit

KarlaD · March 2017

Hello all, question po. Nagpassess ako sa ACS and currently, hindi ko pa narreceive yung result. Natanggap ako sa new company and most likely, magstart na ako dun nang wala pa yung ACS result or before magEOI. Kailangan ko po ba magpaassess ulit sa ACS kahit hindi na ako magcclaim ng points para sa experience sa new company? Or enough na ba na magpass ako ng COE

16022017 · March 2017

Hi @nehalem so meaning same process, preparation of docs etc. and same amount to pay sa ACS for the skills assessment just for the additional 5 points?

@KarlaD I believe, if you will not claim any points from your new company - no need for ACS assessment. Make sure to have positive ACS assessment lang
