Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

ms_ane · January 2019

@datch29 yung IRAS mo (annual summary) I think will fall under secondary document.
If di mo maretrieve ng kumpleto online, tawag ka lang IRAS they can print for you, may bayad lang (mura lang naman) per year na ippiprint tapos mga ilang days lead time lang daanan mo nalang sa IRAS Novena

If PR ka, secondary document din ang cpf contribution.

@datch29 hi sa akin po ang pinrovide ko at hiningi sakin ay copies ng employment pass and employment contract.

@seekerAU @JHONIEL: This is exactly what the EA site says about expiry of assessment:

How long is the assessment letter valid for migration purposes? Do I need a Duplicate Letter?
Whilst the assessment outcome will remain valid indefinitely for Engineers Australia, our understanding is that DIBP mandates that the assessment notification be no more than three years old at the date of migration application. If you require an updated letter of assessment after this time, please contact our Member Service Team.

****I think it is the Assessment NOTIFICATION(meaning the result letter released from EA) ang dapat no more than 3yrs... NOT the Assessment Outcome itself(since it is valid indefinitely). That's why it says, if you require an updated letter, of assessment, u have to contact them again.

Pls clarify if my understanding is correct. Thanks in advance

seekerAU · January 2019

@aicee tama po. Un date ng letter from EA must not be more three years old at the date of visa application baka di tanggapin ng CO.

datch29 · January 2019

@ms_ane @jijolly and @hopeful_Z Salamat po sa mga input nyo.

Buti meron ako nung mga na sabi nyo hehe.

@jijolly sa employment contract ok lang kaya kahit iba na yung title ko sa pinirmahan kong contract? na lipat kasi ako ng department then nag change din ng job title.

Salamat ulit.

aicee · January 2019

@seekerAU : Thanks a lot

seekerAU · January 2019

@aicee welcome po! Good luck!

seekerAU · January 2019

@datch29 based on my experience wala maxado bearing un job position. Actually un daily duties and responsibilities mo sa work ang i-compare nila dun sa nominated occupation mo. For example, sa work visa CE un profession pero un actual job mo is Structural Engineer so instead n Civil Engineer un nominated profession, Structural Engineer p rin nila i-aassess kasi dun nagfall un mga duties and responsibilities sa job mo. Un ung purpose ng tatlong career episodes to determine kung anung profession un pinapractice mo considering your educational background. I hope it helps. Good luck!

ms_ane · January 2019

@datch29 tama si sis @jijolly - yung employment pass nga pala importante.

sa employment contract I think natural lang to have career progression during your employment period or changes in job title - so ok lang yan.. and I agree with @seekerAU sa mga points na naka state sa comment nya

jijolly · January 2019

@datch29 yes okay lang.

datch29 · January 2019

@seekerAU salamat po sa input nyo.

@ms_ane about po sa employment pass, pang 3 renew ko na kasi yung mga naunang kong pass is wala ako kahit soft copy. ok lang kahit yung present pass? Salamat po.

datch29 · January 2019

@jijolly ok po, salamat.

seekerAU · January 2019

@datch29 welcome po

ms_ane · January 2019

@datch29 ok lang siguro yung present pass - wait natin yung ibang SG base na sumagot kung ano ginawa nila sa case nila. PR kasi ako kaya wala ako employment pass.

jsjabaan · January 2019

hello po! ask ko lang po sana ulit. I will be requesting for my COE na po sana for my current employer. kaso nasa format ng COE is ilalagay dun ung purpose/use ng COE. Ano po nilagay nyo? And i can 'probably' request for a copy with JD, kaso d ko lam ilalagay na purpose na as much as possible po sana hindi nila malaman about my migration plan. hehehe! Ok na po ba ung for visa application (kaso baka walang JD for this. hahaha). Thank you.

gibo43 · January 2019

@jsjabaan ang ginawa ko is humingi ako ng generic COE then nagpagawa ako ng reference letter (notarized) sa manager ko para iindicate yung JD, salary, working hours, etc.

seekerAU · January 2019

@jsjabaan since ngwoworry ka about dun sa
format ng COE and the secrecy of your future plans from your employer, you may opt to prepare your own COE and let your immediate supervisor or boss sign it for you. Good luck!

Hi po sa inyo, may tanong po ako, kasi nakatanggap kami ng feedback from EA na need ng additional career episode ng asawa ko : " Please submit a new career episode based on an academic project that demonstrates your competency in the field of electrical engineering. " Meron po ba sa inyong gumawa ng ganito? Ano pong materials ginamit nyo? Thank you!

Hello po, bago po ako magpanic, meron po ba sa inyong nakaexperience ng ganitong feedback from Engineers Australia? Gumawa kasi kami ng bagong career episodes na hiningi din nila na academic based. ung CE1 is thesis, CE2 is practicum. Balak namin sa CE1 isend nlang yung original word file ng thesis draft, CE2 wala naman kaming ibang documentary evidence kundi certificate from the Company. Sapat na ba yun? Thanks po.
Eto po yung feedback:

CE1:

“1. I have identified a high percentage of similarity between career episodes and documents submitted and other sources.

2. Please provide a detailed written explanation on this matter and any documentary evidence that may support your claims by 1/2/2019.

3. If you fail to provide a suitable explanation by the required date - this application may be rejected.”

CE2:

“1. I have identified a high percentage of similarity between career episodes and documents submitted and other sources.

2. Please provide a detailed written explanation on this matter and any documentary evidence that may support your claims by 1/2/2019.

3. Please also provide a reference letter from this employer confirming that you completed your internship here.

4. If you fail to provide a suitable explanation by the required date - this application may be rejected.”

@mlcntdee Hi Sir, regarding thesis hiningan din ako ng basis dun sa sinubmit ko na CE. Pinasa ko po yung word file ng thesis ko and indicated na pwede siya magrefer sa properties (date) para maverify nya na wala akong binago. I also submitted another academic project as CE and nagsubmit din ako ng word file for this. Both cases wala naman naging problema, binigay yung outcome 1 hour after ko magsubmit.. Hindi ko po natry yung practicum as Career Episode, wala ba kayong any documentation para proof dito? Antay din tayo sagot ng iba

mlcntdee · January 2019

@hopeful_Z hi sir thanks po sa reply. same po ba tayo ng feedback dun sa CE1 #1 ko?
yun naman pong sa practicum, may certificate naman galing sa company, yun nalang isubmit namin. thanks po

hopeful_Z · January 2019

@mlcntdee yes po same po

God Bless!!

wellac · January 2019

Hi po. Ask ko lang po yung job description po ba sa COE, kayo gumawa then binigay nyo sa HR ng company nyo dati para gawan kayo ng COE or yung HR nlang po mismo gumawa? Thank you.

biangchang25 · January 2019

Good day po! Sino po dto ME po? Ask lang po sana pano po yung CDR? Thankyou!

ms_ane · January 2019

hello @wellac - COE from HR will be the usual with salary, position , start date. Bihira ako naka encounter dito na pumirma ang HR ng may detailed job description - pero baka meron din mangilan ngilan. Madalas kasi resistant ang HR to sign kasi hindi sila directly aware sa nilagay na job description - unless you use the one that is stated in the employment contract - which is usually outdated and generalized. Depende din siguro sa HR nyo pero mine is “by the book” ika nga- and will only prepare the “usual” COE - no additional details, etc.
Yung document na may detailed job description (Reference letter) - tayo ang magpeprepare kasi mas alam naten kung ano ilalagay, then ask our manager to sign for it.
Might be an awkward moment with your boss kasi none of us would like to divulge our plans of leaving our job (specially sa current job) - and create a negative impression sa boss. I guess it all depends on your relationship with your current boss - if he/she is willing and supportive , or resistant din gaya ng HR.

bottomline - whoever signs your reference letter - it is recommended na you prepare it yourself - kasi you know exactly what to indicate in it - para magtugma din sa nominated occupation na inaapplayan mo- para review and sign nalang sila - less hassle - more chances na mapapirma

wellac · January 2019

@ms_ane thank you sa info ms. anne. pero yung reference letter ko po ba kelangan from all the companies din po na nag work ako or kahit sa current company ko na lang po?

contessa · January 2019

@biangchang25 send mo sakin email mo, send ako sau sample CDR.

ms_ane · January 2019

@wellac kumuha ako sa lahat - pero I think pede mas importante sya particularly dun sa work experience na gusto mong ma assess / ma credit.

antay dib tayo sagot ng iba, lalo na yung may madaming employer. tatlo lang kasi yun sakin e hehehe.

wellac · January 2019

@contessa hi po pang ME lang po ba yung CDR nyo? Pwede po pahingi din ng sample. [email protected]

wellac · January 2019

Ask ko lang po since ndi ko na po mabalikan yung ibang tread sa sobrang dami, if pareho po kaming Engineer ni hubby, pwede po ba isa nalang samin magpa assess as primary or need padin pareho kami magpasa sa EA?
