Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Onward to the next chapter!

Tanong ko lang po. Meron po bang nakakaalam kanino mas mahusay na mag pa assess. Vetassess po ba or William angliss.
Isa po akong pastry chef. pero wala ang pastry chef sa list of skills. Meron po baker and pastry cook.
Naghahanda na akong magpa assess pero nagdadawang isip ako kung kaninong assessing body.
Please feel free to comment and I will appreciate it.
Thank you.

The skill most likely I would want to be assessed with is "baker".
Tama din naman, the most practical way is choosing the cheaper one.
Sa research ko Vetassess is 4300AUD, William angliss is 3400AUD. halos 1000AUD ang difference. HAy!

So it is either technical int or practical exam and not both. Hmmmm
Is this the one you paid as well:
Pathway 1 ako, $1080 stage 1
$1610 stage 2
There is no Pastry chef in the list of occupations, so i am compelled to choose between baker and pastrycook. There is this baker 351111 (retail baking combined).
Normally talaga 2months ang 1st stage of assessment right?
Thank you.

Tapos chef, yung photographs of work, is it necessary na andun ung face ko? Pictures of pastries lng ang meron ako, dahil bawal magpicture taking saaming tinatawag na atélier.
Sa planta kasi.
How did you do yours po?

-job title
-description of roles and duties
-hours of work a week
-wage rate
-dates of employment
So what I did is since most of my employers are from other countries, ako na gumawa ng COE ko, had it signed by my supervisors so they can put in the company letterhead with the letter as well - all done digitally.
Resume could be done with your own template.
With regards to pictures, I haven’t sent any (I’m on pathway 2 kaya hindi ata required). i think you can give them a letter along with your requirements stating that you can’t take a picture of yourself or your products at work as it is not allowed by the company.
Also, I think I paid around 1500+ lang before kasi mura pa ang asessment that time. The only time they make you do the technical amd practical at the same time is if hindi sila satisfied sa technical assessment mo.
1st stage of assessment takes 2 months or less and checking lang ito ng work references mo.
