Ask ko lang re: Point System (Qualification): For item 15 , kelangan ba talaga with Honor or Masters? Paano kung hindi?
15: Recognised Bachelor degree (including a Bachelor degree with Honours or Masters)
10: Recognised Trade Qualification including ...
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks a lot.

they are not referring/requiring to graduate with Honors (cum laude etc)..
Your assessing authority will determine if your Phil degree is equivalent to AQF bachelor degree (15pts), or diploma (10pts)

Regarding Documents - enough na ba magpacertify ng docs sa Notary Public as long as na me nkalagay "Certified true copy of the original"?
Please advise . thanks.

My husband and I are in the "research stage" of moving to Australia and we're trying to find out all of the options that are available to us, as well as our friends. Right now, we're focusing on qualifying for any of the Skilled visas. My husband and I are both teachers, but our field of expertise is not on the SOL (he's an English coach and I'm a university instructor). Our plan is for my husband to enroll in a butcher's course since he knows several butchers who are either home from Australia just to review for and take the IELTS or are getting ready to go to Australia. Ang layo, ano? E s'ya naman ang nakaisip, and he wants a career change. I ask about AQF certification because I'd like to have career options other than in the teaching profession when we get there (medyo pagod na ring magturo). Also, if Plan A doesn't work out, I may have to be the primary applicant, so I need experience and qualifications na pasok sa SOL. I won't mind a career change, and I'm willing to go back to school (although sana 'wag naman 4 years ulit; nag-masters na rin ako, so antagal ko nang nag-aaral!) Sorry this is such a long post! First post pa lang madaldal na. =D

What did you apply for skilled independent ? Is Architectural Draftperson would be appropriate? Kasi mas mahirap mag apply kung Architect ang iaaply. Your reply would be appreciated.Thanks!

Isa pa pong back up plan ko if di ako pasok sa skilled independent ay yung sponsored ng family since may kapatid po ako na nurse who is a PR kaso nabasa ko sa ibang thread na umaabot ng 5-10 years ito. Tama po ba?
I would really appreciate it po if maliwanagan nyo po ako dito. Kinakabahan kasi ako at madaming gastos tapos may kakilala ako na RN na dio pero hirap makakuha ng sponsor kaya I need a back up plan just in case umabot ako sa ganun point ayoko naman po mag aral pa ulit gaya ng ginawa ng friend kasi napakamahal.
Salamat. Pasensya sa malanobelang post ko.

nasa SOL or CSOL din po kung anu ang assessing authority
i suggess google nyo po muna ang job description ng occupation na gusto nyo ipassess..
makikita nyo po ang ANZSCO code dun sa SOL or CSOL..
pag nabasa nyo na ang job description, check if your work experience is related or closely related sa nakalagay sa ANZSCO job description..

The payslips are supplementary documents to your COE - if and when needed, hanapin ito sa iyo but this should not be a show stopper if wala ka nito.
Just to let you know, my wife was not required to submit the payslip. She just submitted a well detailed COE at the start.
Goodluck!

Good thing someone told me about this forum... I really need help or advice from you guys...
Gusto ko kasi talagang mag migrate pero i am not too sure kung saang category ako papasok at magpapasa para sa application for VISA. hmmm... I'm a graduate and licensed ECE, pero indi na ako nagparenew after I got residency here in Singapore and my current job is not really pang ECE kasi I got into Quality engineering field. Pano po kaya yun? From the start QA engineer (HDD manufacturing) ako for 2 years and 10 months sa Pinas then nung andito ako sa SG na employ ako as QA manager (repair and reverse logistic industry) tpos current job ko Quality Supervisor (electronic distribution Centre). Di po sya masyadong technical na technical kasi aside from I'm into certification and audits eh more on team management and customer complaint analysis ang ginagawa ko. Not so much on electronics talaga... So I am not too sure kung pwede ko pang gamitin un tapos mag apply for assessment as electronics engineer... Kung engineer manager naman parang not enough yung experience...
Any suggestion po?
Sorry ang haba...
