1. kung section 1 ang school mo pagkatapos nag pa assess ka sa EA, the outcome (positive/negative) will depend on how well you presented your CDR.
2. the school section will only apply to the edducation qualification according to AQF, pag section 1 at ma meet ang number of units required for the course, then kung bachelors degree ka bigay nila bachelors degree then. it is important kasi mag declare ka ng points sa education level.
3. for schools on lower sections like 2/3, d assurance na kapag bachelors degree ka ay bachelors degree din lalabas sa outcome mo, minsan positive and EA assessment pero hindi Bachelors degree ang educ qual. minsan advanced diploma, or diploma. which means lower number of points sa MSA.
to finalise my point, ang school section ay walang kinalaman sa outcome na positive o negative. ito ay kinokonsidera sa education qualification mo na naka declare din sa outcome letter.
sana nakatulong.

Although, meron cases dto na si dibp pa dn ang may final say at superseded ang assessment ni assessing body.
Siguro po kung confident ka naman na related ang experience mo sa occupation na dineclare mo, kahit wag na magpa rsea. Opinyon ko lang naman po

pero ang sinubmit ko kasi na documents is following option 1. I provided COE from HR (generic ref letter) + reference letter (with letterhead) signed by my supervisor with my duties.
mali ba sinubmit ko na docs? should i follow option 3 instead?
Dun sa option 1, may binabanggit na "Be endorsed by the manager/direct supervisor of HR/Section" dpat ba yung reference letter na may duties, si HR ba dapat ang pipirma hindi ang supervisor?
I'm confused na, nag-iisip pa ko ano irereply ko sa assessor ko for further queries.
Please help to advise naman what to do next.

I did submitted COE signed by HR (generic, only position and start/end date of service lng nakalagay) + Reference letter with duties signed by my supervisor (with letterhead), yun kasi yung mostly na nabasa ko dito sa forum na sinubmit nila, (correct me if i'm wrong)
pero parang di nya in-accept yung reference letters signed by my supervisor, dpat daw naka-affidavit

Option 1 ref. Letter with complete details of employment signed by Hr.
I think dapat mo ifollow option 3 which is affidavit..kasi supervisor ang nagsign ng letter..better xgro gawa ka ng affidavit na lang..ano email mo..meron ksi ako ginawang affidavit..pwede ko bigay sayo as sample...
