    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.

    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.

    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, 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?

    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, 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.
