Suggestion ko lang is do your own content ng COE. Unahin mo yung mga workscope relevant to architectural draftsperson skills and break it up into bullets, then later on dagdag mo na lang yung mga ibang responsibilities and then get either your boss or HR to endorse it for you (kung sino mas mas ka close mo sa kanila).
Kasi kapag ikaw gumawa ng draft ng COE, you can manipulate your other responsibilities and relate it drafting. For ex, site supervision, you can say "visit the construction site to gather data and information in order to produce a more accurate construction/tender drawings."

Naisip nyo po bang mag apply nalang sa TAS? Eligible naman tayong 312111 doon eh.
Comment your thoughts po please, I don't want to lodge an EOI there and later find out na I made a mistake.

Since may nagbanggit na minsan nababawasan yung kine-credit na work experience sa assessment ng VETASSESS, alam nyo po ba kung alin dun sa work experience nyo yung hindi nila binibilang? Yung internship na required after graduating from college and before taking the board exam, did they count that as part of your "skilled" work experience, or only the years after passing the boards?
And worth it po ba kumuha ng Certificate of Employment or Statement of Service for a part-time job (where I worked for 8 months, but more than 20 work hours per week)? Will VETASSESS count that as 8 months of work experience, or 4 months lang (because of part-time status)?

Thanks at may ganitong forum pra sating mga nagbabalak magbakasakali sa OZ. At mabuti naman na marami kaming nakukuhang mga kasagutan sa forum nato. Mukang halos lahat dito ay nasa SG.
Anyway, gusto ko lang po humingi ng opinion regarding sa pag papaassess; gaya po ng karamihan dito, isa din po akong lisensyadong arkitekto at ngayn ay nagtatrabaho dito sa SG. May ilang taon nadin po akong nagtatrabaho at nanggaling nadin po ako sa UAE. Sa ngayn ang trabaho ko dito sa SG ay nasa linya ng Interior Design, at ngayon ay nasa 8 yrs nako. Iniisip ko po kung anung skill po ba ang ipapaassess ko, as Archi Draftsperson or Interior Design? Un mga naunang trabaho ko po bago ako mapunta ng SG, ay nasa linya po ng Arkitekto.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat at pagpalain tayo sa ating pakikibaka.

Ah oki, so counted yung work experience after grad and before licensure. Noted po, tingnan ko po kung makakakuha ako ng CoE sa dating part-time job ko. Sana pag nagpa-assess maisama nga yun sa years of experience.

He also got relatives in the industry holding good position in other companies. nag start sya sa Adelaide then moved to Sydney couple of years ago. Yun isang kung classmate choosed to be a chef hehehe. nasa Brisbane naman sya.

I think there's no sense of having your credentials and work experience assessed as Construction Estimator kung walang magssponsor for you for 190/489 visa. Wala na rin po kasi ang 457 visa (employer sponsored) so malabo po yung pathway to PR as estimator.
In the past 10 years po, wala po kayong work experience as draftsperson/designer? Baka sakali po may mga drafting responsibilities kayo na pwede ipa-assess for the draftsperson occupation.
Yung Building Design po ay iba sa Architecture, more of documentation siya and for smaller-scale projects (residential). Kung draftsperson po talaga ang gusto niyong pasukin, pwede naman po. See this link.

In the past 10 years po, meron ako experience sa Qatar pero 9 months lang yun and ang ginawa ko lang is mag as-built plan ng MEP works. Sa pinas meron ako experience sa isang company, CAD operator po ako at ang gingawa ko is to draft architectural works. After that, nandito na ako sa Saudi and mag 8 years bilang isang Architect/Estimator sa company this coming July and planning to stay up to next year July na lang po.
Kaya naisip ko po na mag aral na lang pero I don't know what course ang kukunin ko talaga.
Isa po sa gusto kong pasukin is to become Architectural Draftperson pero meron pang ibang choices ok lang din naman at yun po ang di ko alam sa ngayon...Gusto kong mag aral pero di ko sigurado na magagamit ko ito sa pag aapply ng PR sa AU? Iniisip ko mag aral din ng Quantity Surveying since ang experience is more on estimates..
Any advise po?

you can try nominating Quantity Surveyor, which is under the engineering ANZSCO code 233213 and is actually eligible for 189/190 (except VIC and WA)/489 visa. Try to have your overseas work experience assessed for Quantity Surveyor occupation, and hopefully at least 9 years yung work exp mo para kung sakali bawasan ng AIQS ng 1 year, you will still meet the 8-year work experience to get 15 points.
As they say, yung nominated occupation mo for migration isn't necessarily the occupation na pwede mo lang gawin sa Australia once you get there. It's just a pathway para makapasok at makakuha ng PR. So if you still want to study Building Design and work as an Architectural Draftsperson after you get your PR visa, pwede po yun. Sa palagay ko po kasi parang mas madali kung yung estimating experience nyo ang gamitin nyo para magmigrate instead of architectural drafting, since mas matagal po yung work experience nyo as estimator than draftsperson.
Kung gusto nyo po naman na tumuloy ng aral ng Quantity Surveying after getting PR visa, pwede rin po. Kung naghahabol po kasi kayo ng points for migration (like sa age cutoff), mas ok na mag-apply nalang kayo ng PR visa instead of studying bago mag-apply for PR.

Medyo nag aalangan ang magpa assess dahil po dyan. Isa pa yung Manager ko is not a member of AIQS and he graduated as an Architecture Course din po.
Naabutan na po ako ng Age cut off because I'm now 34 years old this coming May.
