@Modtaks oo nga risky sya. Pero tinry ko gawin yung payo ni @UbePandesal pero I wanted to be assessed as Civil Engineering Draftsperson para maka visa 189 sana or kahit makapasok lang ng VIC, lahat sakin ang assessment "not enough experience" sa bawat company, kahit na nakalagay na may ginagawa akong civil works.

Ako naman ang maipapayo ko, magsabi ka ng totoo sa assessor, pero wag Architectural Draftsperson yung iapply mo, doon ka sa kung saan malaki chance na macredit yung 5 years mo sa current company mo.

kpantig18 · October 2017

@kaidenMVH wala pa sir

siguro kasi mababa points ko po. 60+5 lang po kasi ako. Tapos 4 years experience lang.

kpantig18 · October 2017

@kaidenMVH hintay ako next round of invitation, pag wala parin try ko itaas yung ielts ko. Baka sakaling mapansin ako ng NSW

kpantig18 · October 2017

@Modtaks pwede naman sir. Pero kung ako kukuha narin ako ng lahat ng requirements, baka in the future magamit mo din. You'll never know. Hehe

Modtaks · October 2017

Hi guys newbie here, may tanong po ako, pede ko bang gamitin ang architectural draftsperson para sa vetassess even iba ang experience ko? I am working sa M&E for 5yrs na sa existing company ko and 2yrs sa Electrical sa previous company. Di ako nakakuha ng arch work dito sa sg kaya tinuloytuloy ko na lng. Licensed arch ako sa pinas kaso expired na (planning to renew). Anything that can enlighten me? Thank you very much in advance.

UbePandesal · October 2017

@Modtaks be m&e draftsman

kaidenMVH · October 2017

@kpantig18 na receive mo na ITA ni NSW?

@Modtaks pwede mo declare na working ka as Architectural Draftsman.

pero Risky kung d mo kasundo ung HR / :
1. lahat ng possible na makontak nila sa office nio need mo brief na working ka as Arch Draftsman
2. CVs mo dpat wla nka mix up na iba work kundi Archi Draftsman.
3. Work Scopes / Work Certificates / Employment Contract / Employment Certificates lahat dpat nka state as Archi Draftsman ka sa Company.
4. just dont mention anything na out of line sa pagging Archi Draftsman mo.

Hope this info Helps..

Maraming salamat sir sa reply, unfortunately walang kasundo ang HR namin, medyo strict sila hehe. sablay pla kung architectural draftsman iapply ko. Wala kaseng M&E draftsman sa choices meron lang Electrical draftsman.

Modtaks · October 2017

@UbePandesal masyado nga sir risky kung ganun nga gagawin ko. Mahirap na hehe. Any other options na pede ko pang gawin? Ty sir

Enzeru08 · October 2017

Salamat sir, cge check pa ako ng iba pang linya na mas malapit sa experience ko. Nga pla sir another question, pede ko bang inde na isama ang ibang past work experiences ko kase inde na rin ako makakaproduce ng proof/documents ng mga yun?!.

OZingwithOZomeness · October 2017

@Modtaks ano ba ung title mo sa experience mo sa M&E at sa electrical? kasi if Draftsperson lang baka pwede paring Architectural Deaftsperson ang gamitin mo sa VETASSESS. Related naman kasi sa archi ang mga experience mo. Hindi naman siguro strictly lang sa archi ang architectural draftsperson. Actually nasa Interior Design firm ako for more than 5years na at ang pina assess ko is Architectural Draftsperson. Na credit naman ang 5years ko kasi plus experience sa pinas. I hope this helps.

Modtaks · October 2017

@OZingwithOZomeness, BIM Modeler sir yung title ko sa M&E tas Engineering Assistant naman sa Electrical exp ko. Di ko pa dn halos na browse yung full SOL list pero try ko maghanap ng pinaka malapit, hopefully meron hehe.

OZingwithOZomeness · October 2017

@Modtaks ung M&E Draftsperson is visa 187 lang ung pwede kasi wala sa 190 at 189. mas maganda parin ung architectural draftsperson unless mag qualify ka sa electrical enginneering draftsperson pero risky talaga yun. kung ako ikaw archi parin ipapa assess ko kasi licensed ka naman and related naman ang M&E sa architectural field.

Hi guys,

Hingi lang sana ako ng advise, here's my situation;
- nakareceive po ako ng job offer as a designer in NSW. However, hindi pwede magsponsor ung office so ang sabi kelangan ko magapply ng sarili ko visa via local counterpart- sila lang magprovide ng documents. Im clueless on the next step dahil mukang bagong setup din ung office nila?.Im currently based in Sg- Does it mean kelangan ko dumaan ng agency dito to apply visa? Thank you!

Hi po meron po bang nainvite today thanku

Hi to all. First post ko po and I've been lurking around the net and saw this site to be helpful for pinoy architects applying for draftsperson.

I recently had my application sa VETASSESS dahil kinuha ko yung priority process kaya mabilis. I am applying for VISA 457.

Sadly, nagka NEGATIVE ako sa result ng experience. I've been in the Architectural industry for 10 years na and ang na-assess lang ng VETASSESS is my 2012-2016 work history tapos hindi pa daw tugma sa tasks ng isang Architectural Draftsperson.

here is the result from them saying:

"According to ANZSCO, an Architectural Draftsperson completes
architects' concepts by preparing drawings and plans, and liaising
with builders and contractors. Based on the documents provided, in
the above employment positions you were responsible for developing
planning and designs, and leading the team on all phases of jobs,
which is identified against the role of an Architect rather than a
Draftsperson."

Sa nakikita ko, I specified the roles of Architect instead of being a Draftsperson. Im thinking of applying for re-assessment and give them more info sa tasks ko dati na included naman ang drafting. Do you guys think okay siya? Another route is to completely change application but it will cost a lot. Babaguhin ko nakalagay sa COE, I can easily talk to my boss before and revise it if possible.

I need you guidance here kasi malaki din ang gastos and nakakahiya sa employer na naghihintay sa Sydney.

TIA

kaidenMVH · November 2017

@phil_chobs sir bakit 457? meron ka na employer from Oz? para sa akin sir safest route would be to submit another application as archi draftsperson, change your COE to suit yun description ni Vetasses/ANZCO. Madami ka sir mababasa sa vetasses na discussion dito, meron isang section dito sa forum all about Vetasses.. if you can fast track the application, ipa fast track mo na para makapag apply ka ng 190 kaagad. NSW,TAS and SA are open, although SA and TAS have some special conditions. i think for TAS its 489 and SA you must have high points (80).

@phil_chobs
sir, mag re-apply na lang po kayo ulit sa vetassess i-edit po nyo ang "duties and responsibilities" nyo sa CV and COE more on Draftsperson's duty po ang ialagay nyo.

phil_chobs · November 2017

hello sirs. salamat sa mga reply. if safest route is to re-apply, hindi po ba masisilip yan na nagbago ako ng role and responsibolities sa vetassess since andun na sa database nila yung nasubmit ko dating mga docs?

457 visa po route ko kasi may employer na po na naghihintay sa Sydney and they applied my name na for nomination sa visa.
