not from me but from the guidelines that was in the MSA Booklet, wala namang ibang basis ang assessor kundi ayan, kaya be guided by the booklet not by other opinions, understand the booklet, everything is in there....

Thank you po sa mga information nyo dito. Naka base po ako sa Yanbu KSA. Balak ko po sana magmigrate to AU. Questions ko po:
1.) ECE grad po ako pero ung experience ko is more on Gas Operations and Chemical Process Operator..7 yrs exp ko..nkalagay po kc sa MSA guidelines "The following items cannot be used as a substitute for a qualification: • work experience"
balak ko po kc mag pa assess sa TRA as Chemical Plant Operator (ANZSCO) 3992-11 para sa 190 Visa po..san po ung babagay sa akin Plant Engineer po for EA assessment or sa TRA nlang?
2.) For TRA assessment pde po bang PTE exam nlng kc sa EA IELTS dapat ung exam d po ba?
Ano po ba ung unang step IELTS OR PTE or mgpa.assess muna sa either TRA or EA?mas mabuti kung sabay?
Thank you po sa lahat ng sasagot. @MikeYanbu sana po matulungan nyo po ako pag may time ka po. God Bless po sa lahat!
