Yes if you look at the description of duties for Software Engineer and Software Tester they are somehow similar. Marami ako nabasa dito sa thread na to na naassess positively for both ANZSCO code though their experience is mainly Testing. Best of luck.

Yes, ganyan din ako nung nagpa assess ako dati.. una kong pina assess yung Software Tester dahil yan talaga yung work experience ko but nung binasa ko yung ANZSCO code description halos parehas lang at naging positive naman din yung result kaya yung na ginamit ko dahil mas madaming option na state ang SE kesa ST.

Hi Guys, Question lang about sa Employment reference letters nyo (Detailed COE). kailangan ba naka state yung country saan ka nagwork? yung dalawang COE ko kasi dito sa SG, hindi nakaindicate although nasa baba naman yung address nung company na nasa SG sya. Hindi ko kasi sure if strictly nakaindicate dapat.

Hello Guys! May question po ako. Will it affect my skill assessment if I didn't complete the clearance during my last day from previous employer? I got my COE but it stated that I was not cleared for some items. Salamat po!

Hiya!
sa mga nag pa assess this past month, gaano katagal madalas yung processing time?
Mejo nervous ako kasi walang way to check yung details apart from before the payment.

Depende siguro sa case officer. Yun sakin dati address lang rin ng company ang nakalagay pero walang address kung saan ako nakaassign. Thankfully positive assessment naman.

Hi, new member here. Magpapa assess po ako soon sa ACS with the help of a migration agent. My current occupation is Marketing Manager (5yrs) and my previous job from another company was Vendor (Marketing) Specialist (4yrs) but my duties are closely related to Multimedia Specialist. Will my job titles as Marketing Manager and Vendor (Marketing) Specialist affect my assessment? Or sa job descriptions and employment references pa din mag based si ACS? TIA!

If you have a migration agent, it’s best discussed with them as they can provide you a more professional advice.

I had around 6 projects in my previous employer. Ang kaso e hindi nagpprovide si Accenture ng COE with jobs and responsibilities as part of its format. I am planning to request an affidavit from one of my ex managers. Questions ko are:

I submitted my ACS application last May 17 and got the result yesterday, June 23.
I have a total of 11 years IT experience but less than 3 years lang nacredit ni ACS (after deductions).
Enough na ba ang 70 points for a 190 visa invitation? Or need ko talaga iappeal yung ACS result to get more years credited sa application ko and reach up to 85 points? TIA!

Hello po, try ko po if maka help ako sainyo.
I am not sure if 70 points is enough e. kasi parang ang usual na naiinvite (depending on Nominated occupation) baka 80/85 siguro mas malaki chance.

Nothing on the guideline states that COE is required. What they want is an employment reference letter or stat declaration.

Hello po. good day po sainyo.
Ask ko lng po sana paano yung process ni ACS and paano po maging positive ang assessment.
My husband will be the main applicant tapos ako po sana gusto sya i-help sa spouse points (skilled spouse + english).
Currently, wala pa po kasi akong degree (hoping to finish my degree this year). BS Computer Science po course ko.
While checking po yung ACS guidelines, nakita ko po under Section 6. Vendor Certifications. If my certificate ka like CCNP or MCSD or MCSE, considered as AQF diploma ka
"The following vendor certifications are accepted by the ACS as comparable to graduate outcomes of an ICT major at the AQF Diploma level."
Possible po ba kaya ako makakuha ng positive feedback/assessment lets say nakapasa ako ng CCNP or MCSD na mga certification kahit wala pa akong degree?
Also, wala pa po kasi akong work exp.
Ano po ang chances ko makakuha ng positive assessment kay ACS?
Thank you po
