@Hunter_08 September last year. I tried. Pero ang labo e.

@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

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

Thanks a lot guys

Hello.. Super thank you sa lahat po ng sumagot.

My husband and I are planning to take GT.
Hello @RheaMARN1171933 mas okay po ba ang PTE over IELTS?

Pablopalakol · March 2018

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!

@kriskringle In my case, dun lang ako nakakuha ng mataas na score, PTE.

RheaMARN1171933 · March 2018

@biz_go congrats! Did you submit new documents to back up your claim?

RheaMARN1171933 · March 2018

@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.

bn1st · March 2018

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!

RheaMARN1171933 · March 2018

@bn1st you can only claim 10 points for AQF diploma

aus2018 · March 2018

hi, question po. if assessed as suitable, bachelors degree. pero 4 years deduction sa work experience. ano pwedeng next action gawin? or possible pa ba madeduct from 4yrs to 2 yrs na lang?

kriskringle · March 2018

@agd wow! sige thank you very much! consider namin yan!

bawse_07 · March 2018

Question po. Yung TOR ko, na-CTC na ng university ko, will it be ok?
OR need ko pa CTC sa mga law firm?

Thank you po sa sasagot.

migoboy · March 2018

@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?

RheaMARN1171933 · March 2018

@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.

rachelkristina_ · April 2018

@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.

RheaMARN1171933 · April 2018

@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.

msbraveheart · April 2018

Hi,

Pa assess nmn po kung anong possible assessment sakin ng ACS?

BS Information Technology (Section 3 School)

Heprex · April 2018

@msbraveheart Hello, AQF Diploma, and will require to demonstrate 5-6 years of relevant experience depending sa nominated occupation mo.

msbraveheart · April 2018

@Heprex Salamat po

Xynned · April 2018

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.

Hunter_08 · April 2018

@Xynned ako sa pinas ko lahat pina CTC yung aking pati mga COE ko sa SG at tinaggap naman.

Burazon04 · April 2018

I am planning to apply for Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) - Any tips to consider ang where to start?

I am an ETL developer (IBM Datastage) for 3years and 8months, BS Mathematics graduate at UP Los Baños

Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hunter_08 · April 2018

@Burazon04 you need to know what occupation you are apply to and how many points meron ka dahil as of now sobrang hirap mainvite if your points is below 70-75
