Australian Computer Society Skills Application

Mizai01 · November 2018

@iamabcd if you don't mind me asking anong occupation po pinaassess niyo?

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@pissedball That’s the entire point why applicants deal with ACS - to concentrate on having their skills assessed to be equivalent to Australian. Before one can even concentrate on the immigration requirements, two things must be met first - a positive skills assessment outcome and passing the points test. Once you have these 2, then you can proceed with dealing with immigration.

Other assessing authorities provide points advice as an added service they offer but cannot count as an official calculation as it is still up to DHA when it comes to the actual points but from my 7 years of experience in handling various cases, the points advice is almost as accurate as the calculation with DHA. Do I recommend added service for my clients? I don’t because there is no need to avail of such service and spend unnecessary fees since we assist them with the whole process anyway. We can calculate this for them. It can be handful for those DIY applicants though for their peace of mind. I believe the topic is about having the additional work experience recognised and not about the points calculation by skills assessing authorities. Anyway going back to the topic whether to have the additional work experience officially assessed, regardless of what occupation it is even not IT related, it’s always safe to have it assessed to strengthen your claim with the immigration department.

@pissedball @RheaMARN1171933 @Heprex I need your expert opinion please.

May ACS assessment ako last year. AQF Diploma with 6 years deduction. magsubmit ulit ako with an addition of one new company. ano kaya ang maging possible assessment ko? Puede kaya ako ma-assess na Bachelor's Degree or mabawasan mang lang kaya yung dineduct na work experience sakin? TIA

-Section 3/BSIT
-Average grade ko is 1.55
-Recently obtained a valid vendor certification (CCNP)

My cases na po ba dito na nagreply sa assessor?

anntotsky · November 2018

2 po ang kinonsider sa qualifications ko

1 is bs math - aqf associate degree with major in computing

2 is cisa aqf diploma with major in computing.

Can i claim for 10 pts each? Or 10 pts lng tlga sya?

Heprex · November 2018

@msbraveheart for section 3, AQF Diploma talaga sya unless you hold a PRC license or have Master Degree of 2years/20 units ata. Kung section 2 school mo, with that grade, you will be assesed as Bachelors. Yung mga tinatanggap naman nila na certifications, equals to AQF diploma lang din ata.

msbraveheart · November 2018

null salamat @Heprex yun nga din yung concern ko

sana may makapag share ng similar experience.

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@msbraveheart I agree with what @Heprex has shared.

EOI Wrong Inputs

Hi, ask ko lang po yung concern namin ng wife ko. Pareho po kase kaming nagsubmit ng EOI and pareho po kameng nasa IT field. Nagclaim kame ng Partner points (5pts). Pareho kaming nagpassess sa ACS at pareho kaming nagtake ng PTE. Nitong 11th ng Nov 2018, nauna pong nainvite si misis for visa 189 lodging. So si misis na yung naging primary at ako ang secondary applicant. While browsing back to her EOI, nakita nyang may mga mali po dun sa EOI.

Bale po si misis nagwork po talaga sa pinas from July 2008 to 2015. Then sa malaysia from 2015 to present. then pinassess nmin sa ACS at nakareceive kame ng approval. Tapos may note dun na:

The following employment after Jun 2010 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level relevant to 2361111..."

Dates: 06/08 -4/15 -- 6 years 10 months
Position: XXXX
Employer: XXXX
Country: Philippines

Dates: 04/15 -3/18 -- 2 years 11 months
Position: XXXX
Employer: XXXX
Country: Malaysia

So bale po ang nailagay nya pa din ung 2008 sa EOI, mukang naoverlook nya ung note ng ACS na nagminus 2 year sila. 2010 dapat po ata ang nailagay sa EOI. Right now po mag 10 years na work experience nya. At since 2008 ang nailgay nya 15 points po yun. Pero kung 2010, 15pts pa rin naman po yun diba? So hinde po sya nagoverclaim. Tama po ba? Do we still proceed with the visa lodging? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[email protected] · November 2018

@anntotsky meron po nagrereply saken nuong assessor kase may mga mali akong inputs dun sa ACS assessment ko like ung dates at year na nilagay nila dun sa actual dates na nilagay ko. tatlong beses kami nagback and forth hanggang matama ung assessment.

mamamilk · November 2018

Hello, sa mga nagapply sa ACS, sa page 3 (Application Details), pwede po pashare ng mga docs inupload nio for Qualification and Experience. Sa qualification ba need yung Diploma, TOR and kung meron pang iba pashare nman po. And sa Experience ano naman po yung need from company, previous and current. Thanks in advance.

kriscandy · November 2018

@mamamilk hi, you can check the link from ACS for the required documents, especially the required information in the reference letters from each employer.
https://www.acs.org.au/msa/acs-application-checklist.html

[email protected] · November 2018

@mamamilk yes kelangan ng Diploma at TOR. tapos ung mga COEs mo sa mga previous at current companies mo. 1 pager COE lang ang ipagawa mo sa mga company kagaya ng nasa link. need mo ung details ng work as specified dun sa ACS link:

https://www.acs.org.au/content/dam/acs/acs-skills/Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants V5-6 Aug 2018.pdf

as mentioned sa docu, need din syang ipanotaryo per document. once manotaryo need mo syang ipascan. take note, dapat pdf at not higher than 200dpi.

hope this helps!

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@mamamilk @jspaz0313@gmail.com just to correct, each page has to be certified, not notarised. Notary public is used for stat decs. Also I would advise to write your draft for the letters and then have them signed rather than asking the employer to do it for you.

We have usually an average shorter timeline for our clients’ assessment due to the fact that we provide decision ready documents na. It’s easier for ACS to make decisions since we aim to submit the documents that are compliant na. Saves time in the end.

@RheaMARN1171933 noted po mam rhea! nga po pala mam, yung concern po namin ng wife ko. Nainvite po sya for visa 189 lodging nitong Nov 11, 2018. Bale po ang nailagay nya pa din ung 2008 sa EOI, mukang naoverlook nya ung note ng ACS na nagminus 2 year sila. 2010 dapat po ata ang nailagay sa EOI. Right now po mag 10 years work experience na sya. At since 2008 ang nailagay nya, 15 points po yun. Pero kung susundin ung nilagay ni ACS after 2010, 15pts pa rin naman po yun diba? So hnde po sya nagoverclaim. Tama po ba? Do we still proceed to lodge our visa? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@jspaz0313@gmail.com if the error does not affect the points being claimed, it’s ok to proceed but just explain it on a cover letter upon visa lodgement. I have not handled your case so just based itbon what you posted which may or may not be accurate so you just have to really make sure that indeed the error won’t affect your claim. Good luck.

ced · November 2018

Ma’am @RheaMARN1171933 baka po may idea kayo o suggestion dito sa case ko. Salamat po!

Hello po, baka meron po dito same case, hingi lang idea kng worth it ba magpare-assess sa ACS.

First Assessment - Exp 2010 - 2018 - Result ok with 4yrs deduction

Now, I am planning to have re-assessment to include my work Exp below
1. 2009-2010. (13 months din yun)

Thank you po sa sasagot at magbigay ng suggestions. God bless!

patotoy · November 2018

@ced
kung makakadagdag ng points mo, magpa-reassess ka. pero kung malpit nanaman ang forecasted invitation mo, kahit wag na..

ilan total points and anzsco code mo?

ced · November 2018

@patotoy ah ok bro, salamat... worried lang baka kasi magkaproblema dahil hndi ko naisama last assessment. reason ko kasi is mababawasan kasi ako ng 5pts dahil sa age 33 na ako this Jan 2019 para lang ma-maintain yung pts ko kng maging ok yung re-assessment.

aranayad · November 2018

may chance po ba mainvite sa visa 489 SA ang 70pts na ICT Support Engineer?
how long po kaya ang hihintayin?

TIA

patotoy · November 2018

@ced
kapag nainvite ka sa Dec 11, no need ng magpa reassess kahit mag minis 5 ka sa Jan 2019 dahil nag 33 ka na. ang importante ay ma prove mo yung clinaim mong points nung nainvite ka.

kapag feeling mo hindi ka aabutan ng invite sa next rounf, magpa re-assess ka na para umaandar na ang papers mo.

patotoy · November 2018

@aranayad

yes as long as ma satisfy mo requirement nila, may possible na mainvite. ang mahirap lang sagutin ay kung kailan dahil walang trend sa v190 at v489.

ccvsq · November 2018

Hello po, newbie here. Mag-ask lang po ako if may same case ko na po na nassess ng ACS na nakakuha ng postive feedback from them.

Major: Electronics Engineering
Current Work: IT SAP Support (Accenture)
Nominated Skill: 261313 (Software Engineer)

Thanks po.

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@ccvsq each case has s very individual so it’s difficult to rely on the outcome of other applicants. Based on the x amount of cases we’ve handled, not any one circumstance is ever the same.

ced · November 2018

@ccvsq ECE din ako at nasa IT field din (261313 din code ko) naging possitive naman assessment ko yun nga lang 4 yrs ang binawas ni ACS sa work experience ko.
