ECE Graduate but current job is IT

necopon · May 2017

To whom should I submit documents for the assessment of my skills? EA or ACS? My background is as follows:
- 2yrs Semiconductor industry
- 2yrs IT/Software

I'm an ECE graduate but my work experience is solid IT. I was assessed by ACS. Maybe it will depend on what career you will pursue in AU since you have equal years of experience in both fields?

@necopon EA ka na lang. ACS kasi usually requires minimum 4years experience for applicants with Engineering backgrounds.

Hi All,

To add with the discussion, could I ask if I am eligible for assessment by ACS even though I am a graduate of BS ECE? I have a 7 years solid experience with Information Technology related job.

I do not have an experience working with ECE related job so I just want to seek advise from you.

Thank you and Good day.

@RandyLo13

ECE here with 10yrs solid IT. My ACS assessment was positive.

mitchiboy · July 2017

I'm also an ECE po but 8yrs IT.

Sa ACS po ba, ia-acknowledge ang board passer if I'm in IT industry?

If yes po, ano yung kailangan ko i-include sa ACS assessment?

Thank you!

no need for prc if your school is from sec 1, pero it would help if your school falls under sec 2 or 3, this is for the purpose of claiming points for education. ece is consider ICT major or minor depende sa school and case officer. I have a few friends na ECE pero was assessed as ICT major, so 2 years lang nadeduct sa knila na work experience.

@Xiaomau82 Bulacan State University po ako galing. Based sa link na nakita ko sa isa sa mga thread, section 2. Pero parang 2014 pa yung nakita ko.

mitchiboy · July 2017

Ok po. Will do. Thank you so much po!

@segfault27 nag abot siguro tayo haha. 4 years nadeduct sa akin ng ACS.

segfault27 · January 2019

Hi @einra2k2, everyone,

I'm new to this group, and I'm also a BS ECE graduate with 8 years of software engineering experience.

Can you share more info about your assessment, @einra2k2?

Did you get an AQF Bachelor with ICT Major? Minor?

Ilang years po yung deduction na nakuha mo?

I'm a graduate of UST na section 1 school naman (dito ko lang nalaman sa forum na factor pala yung school).

Meron na bang nakakuha ng 2 years deduction only na BS ECE graduate??

neni0hk · January 2019

@segfault27 2008 ako gumraduate hehe. Nope wala pa, nag lodge pa lang ako nung November... waiting game

segfault27 · January 2019

@neni0hk, oooohh, nice!

Naku, tingin ko hindi. Haha. Hindi kagad ako nagwork after graduation eh. Nagreview muna for boards. Hehe.

If it's OK, anong batch ka grumaduate?

So most likely pala eh -4 years na talaga. Oh well, kelangan na lang talaga maachieve ang superior english para tumaas ang points. Hehe.

Nasa AU ka na sir?

segfault27 · January 2019

@neni0hk, nice! ahead ka sakin ng 2 years. 2010 ako.

Nice ayos yan. At least tapos na. Hintay na lang. Gano ba katagal by average waiting time after mo maglodge ng EOI?

Nag-IELTS ka or PTE? Parang hindi na uso IELTS ngayon. Mas matao na sa PTE thread dito sa forums.

barbedwire · January 2019

Ako po ECE graduate from sec 2 school, 2 years lang nadeduct sakin ni ACS.

kramkramkram · January 2019

My work experience is split between Telecoms and IT. Line between the two field has been blurred out for the last few years.

My migration agent selected ACS six years ago

swish19 · January 2019

@segfault27 ECE grad/licensed, sec2 school, all work experience is in IT. Bachelors and EDUC pero 4 years dineduct sakin ng ACS sa work exp

von1xx · January 2019

@swish19 ask ko ln po ano ung code na pinaassess nyo? saka ano po timeline ng assessment nyo? thank you po

segfault27 · January 2019

@barbedwire, wow, lodi! How to be you po? Haha. Kung 2 years lang maddeduct sakin, may additional 5 points ako. Sayang din yun? Any suggestions sir kung pano maachieve yun 2 years lang deduction as an ECE in the IT field?

barbedwire · January 2019

@segfault27 Mam po ako

Sinama ko po yung certificate ko kay PRC saka lahat ng Cisco Certificates ko po. Tingin ko malaki ang naitulong nya.

segfault27 · January 2019

@barbedwire, sorry Maam! Haha!

Nagtake ako before ng board exam, nakapasa naman. Pero hindi na ko nagrenew. Makakahingi pa ba ko ng certificate from PRC?

Pati bakit parang wala akong maalalang certificate na binigay nung pumasa ako? Card lang yung akin. Tas naputol ko pa yung card ko dahil naupuan ko na nasa wallet. Haha.

Tingin ko malaking factor yung Cisco certificates mo. Na wala ako. Haha.

swish19 · January 2019

@von1xx 262113, inabot din 1 year total bago nagrant. Nabuntis kasi si misis during lodgement. So inintay pa lumabas si baby para mainclude sa application

von1xx · January 2019

@segfault27 licensed ECE din ako, nung time na kinuha ko yung prc ID ko may binigay na certificate. baka pwede mo pa makuha kahit hindi ka na nagrenew.

@swish19 thanks po sa info, need din tlaga medical kelangan pala maplan.

kakalabas ln ng result ko sa ACS 2yrs din ang deduct AQF Bachelor Major in Computing.

swish19 · January 2019

@von1xx yes bro! I suggest kumpletuhin mo muna docs mo especially sa assessment, sama mo din lahat ng IDs and certifications mo kahit na expored, follow the COE template/guide as much as possible din.
