    @bananaboyet I would say, just hand in an employment letter with the actual employment dates. If you've started in 2014 then just put that in. Nothing to lose if you declare it. However, it looks like university has to be in section 1 so that 2 years lang ang ibabawas otherwise your skills assessment won't be successful. With regards to your letter, a stat Dec can replace the employment letter.

    Here's an update guys regarding my first assessment result.
    I submitted an appeal application as my education was assessed as Advance Diploma equivalent. This morning, I received a new assessment and it is now AQF Bachelor Degree.

    Thank you so much @RheaMARN1171933 and @Heprex for answering my queries and made me feel the need to submit an appeal application.

    @HELEN28 So there, naalala ko sabi mo medyo same tayo situation :D

    By the way, the appeal took less than 2 weeks. The first assessment took I think 8 weeks.

    Thanks a lot guys :)

    Hi all. I'm an ECE Graduate (5 years). Question: 1) how were your skills assessed (for those who graduated ECE, too). 2) And do grades matter?

    Also, saw the ANZCO code and responsibilities for Developer/Programmer, and the description is exactly what my work is currently. Would it be okay if I request for the CoE with the duties/responsibilities copy-pasted? Again, it's exactly what I do. Did anybody else do this and got an undesirable result from ACS?

    Thank you for your help! :)

    @biz_go if you have provided evidence na more than 85% yung GPA mo in your initial assessment, the annoying part is if I was your agent I would have fought for your case and ask for your appeal fee to be waived as it would seem there is a lapse of judgement their end...oh well.

    Hello everyone, i'd like to ask regarding educational background, I was assessed with AQF Diploma equivalent for my bachelor's degree and for my Cisco certification. My question is, will I be given separate point for each? Meaning 10pts for the Bachelors degree and another 10pts for the Cisco certification? Hoping someone have the same case that can answer. Thank you!

    @lily_07 Hello! Yung sa amin nirequest nung case officer na na-assign samen na ipa-CTC sa law firm kahit CTC na from university. Eto yung nakalagay sa email sa amin:

    Please upload the following documents into the online application form in PDF format:


    Certified copy of your degree certificate - the document has been certified by the institution who provided the document - certification is third party

    Certified copy of the complete academic transcript for your degree - the document has been certified by the institution who provided the document - certification is third party

    Ibig niya ata sabihin eh certification should be done by a third party :) After namin ipacertify sa notary public, okay na.

    Planning to have ACS assess me for ICT Business Analyst but before I have it assessed, may questions lang po.

    1. Graduated BS Management Information Systems from Ateneo de Manila University pero took MBA after that. I'm just worried that they will require me 4 years experience? Can I not declare my MBA?
    2. Anong section po ang Ateneo de Manila University? May bearing ba ang university sa skills assessment?
    3. I have solid 2 Business Analyst experience but the 3 years is on Project Management and Change Management. Will they consider it kaya?

    @rachelkristina_ ateneo is section 1. business analyst is one of those occupations wherein you need high points to get invited. How much points did you calculate? You need to be very strategic with your approach.

    @RheaMARN1171933 Was thinking of no longer declaring my MBA kasi non-IT course siya? If I get the 3-year experience for Business Analyst, that's 5 points and 15 points for education, I'll have 50 points. Depending on my iELTS score whether I'll have a total of 60 or 70.

    Pero yung concerns ko are my 3-year experience is on Project Management/functional space, not necessarily "Business Analyst" job title. R&R is most likely BA. Not sure how ACS will assess it.

    @rachelkristina_ it won't hurt if you put all your qualifications on the application. ACS will assess and recognise accordingly. With regards to your work experience, it's hard for me to have a say in this as you're only describing it. I usually discuss these things with clients over the phone and I properly look into these things and advice as required.

    Anyway, a lot tricky these days with points and all. Very competitive ang business analyst and you really need to be strategic with your approach.

    Hello mga ka pinoyau, question lang po before submission ng CTC sa ACS.
    Bale ung mga personal docs ko like TOR, Diploma and BirthCert/passport sa Pinas ko ipapacertify.

    Pero ung employment cert ko kasi lahat overseas. Meron na ako from my employers, ang question is, iaacept kaya ng ACS if ang CTC stamp galing sa lawyer dito sa Pinas? or need ko na sa Singapore din pa CTC?

    Thank you po sa mga makaka sasagot.
