@becca91 I guess as long as you can get a certification for it from the employer then you should include it.

Oh Sorry, I just realized, naka specify nga pala sa guidelines nang ACS. So you might consider this as well.

"Full time work is considered to be 20 hours or more per week and must be stated in the reference. Any experience that is less than 20 hours per week will not be considered in an assessment"

@Al5yd
Thank you. Naghesitate kasi ako noon kaya di ko sya sinama sa assessment ko. 6 months lang naman pero sayang din pala kasi kung dinagdag ko yun 5 years experience na ako.

Good day po. Done na po ako sa PTE and starting to compile naman po my requirements for ACS. Question lang po kasi confused ako regarding COE. For my current company, 10 yrs working exp na ako and this is the only company that I would claim points for. Previous companies ko medyo iba role ko although on the tech side pa rin. So ang question ko po is do I still need to get COE from my previous companies kahit yung current lang naman ang pagkukunan ko ng points (hopefully)

Thanks in advance po sa makakasagot! Greatly appreciated!

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2019

@greenloots you only provide employment reference letters for the work experience you want claim

greenloots · June 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 thanks for the info po. appreciate it!

greenloots · June 2019

Good pm po. I am completing na po the form sa ACS site kaso medyo confused po ako dito sa part ng job experience. Yung start date po ba, start date nung na employ ka sa company or start date nung specific position mo sa company na iyon? kasi 4th position ko na po pero same company, confused which date to put po, thanks po in advance sa makakasagot! nakakakaba pala mag fill out nito

Hi! Has anyone submitted CV/resume recently? Naguguluhan po kc ako, meron nagsabi na hindi na sila nagpasa ng CV pero sa acs website nakalagay cv. Thank you!

jessec · June 2019

@sher04 yes, i attached my cv dun sa current position

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2019

@sher04 ACS added this requirement recently so I guess those who said they didn’t, they applied prior to it being required.

sher04 · June 2019

@jessec @RheaMARN1171933 thank you! Will do include CV then:) thanks!

sher04 · June 2019

Hello everyone, may I ask if pwde po magpasign ng statutory declaration sa previous co worker ko na same level/position ko? Kc ung manager at senior ko dati hindi na po makontak. Thank you po!

skimberlou · June 2019

Hi! Good day po sa inyong lahat:) i have few questions po.
I am working po under agency dito sa SG, nagpagawa ako ng COE sa agency ko pero hindi daw nila pwde ilagay sa COE ung client name kung saan ako nakaassign, ok lang po ba un? May bearing po ba un kung nkalagay client name or hindi?

Lastly po, is Analyst Programmer closely related to Computer Engineering course?

Maraming salamat po sa mga makakasagot!

greenloots · June 2019

Good day po.

I have a question po regarding COE. nakapagpasa na ako this last week ng June sa ACS and is now waiting for results. Kaso this week nabago yung Job Title ko due to company merger (ginagawang uniform ang naming convention ng job titles) so iba na ung tawag sa position ko but still the same responsibilities. if magpa submit po ng updated COE si ACS, paano po kaya iyon if manghingi ako ng bagong COE sa company ko for sure new position title na ang indicated, di na tugma sa sinubmit ko sa kanila. may ganito na rin po bang case na na-encounter ang iba dito? ano po ang ginawa ninyo?

thanks po sa makakasagot and have a great day!

Hello @sher04 , sa guidelines, hindi explicitly sinabi na hindi pwede yung same level. Ito yung snippet from the guidelines:

"It is preferable that the work colleague writing the declaration be at a supervisory level."

Then meron nakaindicate na hindi pwede yung mas junior sayo:

The following Statutory Declarations or Affidavits are NOT suitable:
- From a junior colleague

So I think pwede naman. Since wala naman ng manager na pwede macontact, then dun ka na lang sa next na lower position. Kesa naman sa wala.

koalakangaroo · June 2019

Hello. New to the forum here. Check ko lang po if merong makakasagot ng question about ACS assessment. Nagpa-evaluate na ako dati at yung Bachelor Degree ko sa pinas is equivalent lang sya to AQF Associate Degree, so they deducted 6 years from my previous work experience. ICT Support Engineer yung una ko pinaevaluate pero I want to try ICT Busincess Analyst since closely related naman yung responsibilities ko. Question lang is 8 years nko sa company as Analyst, prior to this i have 7 years experience as support IT-related. Yung 6 years po ba na ibabawas nila is dun sa 8 years ko as Analyst na related sa job code na pinapaevaluate ko or dun sa overall experience which is ICT related din naman sya. Thanks in advance sa sasagot!

ced · June 2019

Hello po, tanong lang regarding sa passport details sa ACS, nagrenew na kasi ako ng passport at nakuha ko na rin. Plan ko magpare-assess kay ACS pero hndi ako sure kng need ko ba isubmit yung new passport ko para sa re-assessment. Kasi work experience yung i-add ko. Salamat po sa sasagot.

same case din po sa akin. di ko ma delete ung na upload ko so i emailed ACS and this is their response:

>>>
As you may not be aware, no document or entry may be removed from the application once added to the live system. The system is not for testing.

Simply add the correct document to the relevant entry and continue to submit the application. This can be added at any time BEFORE submission of the application.

If you wish, you may add NEW, LATEST or UPDATED to the file name.

Kind regards,

Hi @Mariep . Hindi pa ako nagpapaassess, but paminsan minsan I'm visiting this site. Just like you, isa rin ako sa nagbabalak magpaassess. These are just my opinion based sa mga shinishare ng mga nandito sa forum and sa ACS Guidelines

65 pts is not enough to get you invited. Atleast 75pts.
Check ACS Guidelines for the requirements, and how they will assess your experienced and qualification.

Mariep · July 2019

@flexihopper18 , hay hirap din pla ano? to get that 75 points parang need ng Superior English to add sa points.

Yes. Would be best to provide information on the continuity of the company on the letter to make your evidences user friendly

jonray · July 2019

Hello,

Question lang po regarding stat dec/affidavit. Sino po qualified to be a witness po? Meron po ba dito sample template nila for stat dec? Need ko kasi since yung isang company ko ay nag closed na. Other question po is ano yung pwedeng gawing evidence? Pwede kaya ITR? Wala na kasi copy ng payslip and yung 2 given options ng ACS.

Thank you.

Mariep · July 2019

hello po, Paano po if , standard COE lg po sa akin pero may JD nman at job offer, lhat may signature ng Manager.. need pa rin ba ng StaT declaration?
If need ang Stat Dec pwede po ba TL lg mag sign? ksi nag resign na Manager ko.

Is there a standard template to follow ?
Kelangan po ba makita ng authorized witness na sinasign ng Manager mo ung Stat Dec? and
Kelangan po icertify ung COE? san po pwede ipacertify?

Salamat po sa mga sasagot. Patulong naman po.
