Hello po! I submitted my ACS skill application 4 days ago pero until now wala ako narereceive na email from them. I checked na lahat ng folder s inbox ko pati spam folder pero wala. Ganun po ba talaga? I used credit btw sa payment. Thanks!

czaaaps · March 2017

Hi @pidiong09 were you able to get your Application No. man lang? Or as in nothing talaga? I received an email when I submitted my application. Even before submitting, kahit nung sinave ko pa lang yung application (not yet completed at this point), I also received an email. Ganito yung subject ng nakuha kong email: "ACS Migration Skill Assessment Acknowledgement for Ms ***** Ref [*******]". Maybe try logging-in to your account directly sa ACS site, or try to retrieve your account via My ACS >> My Application Status.

pidiong09 · March 2017

@czaaaps yes I got an application no. I even checked the status of my application. naka lagay lng un date and time received. pero un status nya walang update. me higlight lng n blue color. hehehe. I'm wondering lang bakit walang email notifications man lng from them.

czaaaps · March 2017

@pidiong09 hmm ang weird naman niyan and nakaka-paranoid. Well at least na-access mo yung account mismo. Nag-charge na ba sa credit card mo yung payment? Baka pwede ring hindi pa nag-clear ang payment kaya ganun?

Maybe you can also try sending them an email to verify what happened to your account? Here's their email: [email protected], like general inquiry lang. They accommodate questions naman and answer within the day.

@annreycelgo if you got the ACS assessment last Dec. 2016 and you are still in the same company - no need na. But, if you move into a new company and this company are not assessed by ACS then yes you need to have re-assessment.

pidiong09 · March 2017

@czaaaps Thanks! Sent an email na and they replied na rin. I resubmit my application and its now in progress.

annreycelgo · March 2017

@SAP_Melaka yehey! thank you sir..

SAP_Melaka · March 2017

@annreycelgo Make sure once you lodge your visa, get another employment proof (ie. generic COE) to support your work experience claim. We're on the same boat

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!

@16022017
I have just taken the RPL route. Fill out the RPL form accordingly based on your own knowledge and understanding. Narrate something about the projects that you will nominate. For the topics, you can utilize The ACS Core Body of Knowledge for ICT Professionals (CBOK) for your reference and then relate it to your experience.

Good luck!

Guys question yung COE kasi namin meron purpose na nkalagay. Ano kaya pwede ilagay? Ayoko pa sabihin sa company ko na mag aapply ako AUS. Baka kasi pg kung ano lang purpose hnd naman accept ng ACS. Ano kaya pwede? "for IT certification"? #:-S

Ozlaz · March 2017

@iska03 sa akin for credit card application:) wala naman naging prob hehe

iska03 · March 2017

@Ozlaz haha

pwede pala yun w/ JD na ba yung COE mo or generic lang?

16022017 · March 2017

@SAP_Consultant Thank you! In what stage ka na of the application if I may ask? And also, since I still cannot claim points for overseas experience because of the 6 year deduction ng RPL route, I will only have 55 pts unless I get a superior level sa IELTS. I am thinking of applying for 190 instead of 189 since I believe you can apply sa 190 with 55 pts and the 5 pts will be awarded after the assessment if its positive. Any thoughts on this approach?

Thank you ulit in advance!!!

Hello @jaceejoef
For Educ, you will claim 15 points as it equates to Bachelors Degree. 10 points is for Diploma.
Also, AQF = Australian Qualification Framework (this is their educational standards)

Concerning your skills, you will start computing Aug. 01, 2013. Therefore, if you compute to-date, it is equal to 3.5+ years. (This is equal to 5 points)

jaceejoef · March 2017

@SAP_Melaka thank you for the confirmation! kinabahan ako nung bigla kong nakita ang email eh.

Heprex · March 2017

KimPao · March 2017

Meron po ba dito graduate ng san beda college manila or alabang? May i know kung ano po assessment ng ACS sa inyo? I had my assessment last year and equivalent to diploma yung binigay sa akin for my bachelors degree in Information Management and 5 years yung dineduct sa work experience. I did not not request for re-evaluation last time but now I'm thinking of getting assessed again if possible na maging bachelors degree ang assessment.

I have received my positive assessment. My target is superior for the english exam as well. 190 is okay I guess. I'm still researching for the education points. There is nothing mentioned like this one below for my education. I'm still researching if we can claim for educational points even without this wording. There is no reference as well to make an application with vetassess.

Your Bachelor of Science in XXX from XXX University
completed Month Year has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a
major in computing.

Usually, minimum 5 years. Not sure kung papano, parang walang way eh.

grapebella · March 2017

@Heprex Thanks sa help. Nag submit na ako ng request for review sa ACS with additional COE with more detailed JD sana ma claim ko additional 5pts.

Stage 1 na muna ulit ako, to update on the positive outcome soon. ;;)
