VETASSESS question

Strader · January 2013

Thanks @lock_code2004. Im about to print the vetasses form now. Should I print each page for 3copies for(vetasses,ss,diac). How about the other guys here ganun din ba ginawa nyo? Thanks
are you talking about the Vetassess Online Application form (na completed nyo na)?
if yes, you need to only print one copy.. then include that to your documents, then send thru courier..

- the result will be mailed back to you... which you will then send to SS and DIAC..

we just completed my sister's vetassess application... as in nung isang araw lang..
puyat kmi kasi, nasa US ako, tapos sya nasa UAE.. inaayos namin lahat ng docs..
and i double check ung mga details..

Oh tama pala.. I just need the result from vetasses para maisubmit sa ss at diac. So magprint ako ng SRG1 form 1 copy eaach only tapos fill-up tapos scan and upload online ganun ba @lock_code2004? Pasensya na nakakalito.

There are two options:
1. PAPER APPLICATION: Print the form, complete, sign.. Paper Application ( pay draft/cheque 670aud + Points test advice for work exp) + attach your docs.. send thru post.

2. ONLINE APPLICATION: Go online, fill online application, pay online (630aud + points test advice for work exp), print completed online, sign + attach your docs, send thru post..

we did option 2, para mas madaling mag bayad.. at take note, mas mura ng 40aed pag online.

Eto ang sched of fees:

Errr... Medyo nalito ako ng konte. Though very helpful itong thread na to about vetassess, from certified photos to points test advice, kaya lang nalito ako sa points with regards to your education and work experience. I thought both education and work experience will be assess by vetassess and from there, they can come up with scores like say 15points para sa dalawa na yun.

Nabasa ko nga rin na kung gusto din isama sa points ung work experience, dapat iavail yung points test advice (which is dito na ko nalito).

Ibig sabihin ba nito, kung sakali makakuha ako ng 10 or 15points sa education, maaari pko makakuha ng additional points for my work experience?

if you don't mind me asking, san ko pwede makita kung section 1 or 2 yung school ko which is Adamson University (Architecture)? Di kasi ako makapagscan dito masyado sa internet, baka mahuli.

Maraming salamat uli

eto po ung link from pinoyau din po.

About sa tanong nyo po, ang alam ko magkaiba ang points ng education saka work experience. You can check it sa DIAC website. But para maliwanagan kayo ng mabuti, yung mga successful applicants na lang po ang sasagot cnyo.

clickbuddy2009 · February 2013

@cylin, thank you

Nyayy.. nasa section 2 school ko. haha.. dami ko pa naman bagsak na grades. Ayoohhh...

Sana makabawi sa work experience. Mukhang kelangan ko pa nga ng points test advice.

lock_code2004 · February 2013

@clickbuddy2009 - i've posted this before... in summary..

- if you will NOT avail the point test advice, they will only assess your education (whether degree/diploma) and they will assess your work exp based only on their minimum requirement for your occupation..

example: if your work experience total is 8 yrs, but according to their guidlines (check occupation grouping sa VETASSES), their minimum reqt is only 3 yrs, then they will only assess your last 3yrs work experience...kahit pa magsubmit kayo ng documents for all your work exp..

- IF YOU AVAIL the additional point test advice, you will need to pay depende kung ilang ang work experience nyo (per company).. example 3-4 companies kayo nag work, thats additional 150aud..

so in this points test advice, they will check all your documents, and the result will include if your work exp are relevant.. and then you can claim points for your work exp (3yrs=5pts, 5yrs=10pts, 8yrs=15pts)

Maraming maraming salamat @lock_code2004. Nalinawan na ako sa area na to.

Medyo nakakadrain din pala ng utak itong pagpprocess ng application. Andito pa lang ako sa planning stage at paggagather ng infos and IELTS practice, nakakapanghina na. haha.. Buti na lang at mabilis ang mga sagot dito sa pinoyau. Please bear with us na mga nasa stage pa lang na to. Sana di kayo magsawa sa pagtulong. Hoping for that day na i'll be sharing my success story din.

God bless us all!

hi @lock_code2004 question.. pede pa kaya ako magpacount ng years of experience ko s vetassess kahit na may result na ako? kailangan pa ba submit new docs or yun n yung sa binigay ko last time?thanks

@jenipet20 - yes you can.. there is a separate process/fee for that.
I cannot answer on the documents. I suggest you contact them if you still need to re-submit documents..

Check Vetassess' website:

Previous VETASSESS applicants
If you have previously had a positive Skills Assessment from VETASSESS (post 2010), you may apply for Points Test Advice for your additional qualifications and employment using the SRG35 Application for VETASSESS Advisory Letter for Points Test Purposes (VETASSESS occupations)

Applicants who have received a positive assessment from VETASSESS before 2010 and now require a Points Test Advice, should contact VETASSESS for information on how to apply for the Points Test Advisory Letter.

I hope this won't sound stupid...but what if you're new to the occupation you are nominate (~1 year)...can you have that assessed by VETASSESS already? This is assuming that you still have 60 points.

im guessing your question is, about submitting an assessment just for your work experience (and you have a separate Skills Assessment result already) , i think pwede naman.. wala namang minimum requirements dun..

but if you are submitting a new Skills and Work experience assessment, of course you have to satsify their minimum work experience requirement (im not sure if 1 year work exp is enough)

arlene5781 · February 2013

Hello Mga Sir and Madam,

One of our kabayan mentioned VETASSESS assestment, ask ko lang po sana opinion nyo. Not sure po kasi e. Were IT professional po my husband and I , i got na po positive assestment sa ACS howver di ko namin ma reach yung band 7 na score all of it sa IELTS. Makakatulong po ba sa amin ito VETASSESS to get a migrant visa? Ayoko po sa sana magstudent visa sobra mahal po kasi.

Salamat po

cylin · February 2013

@arlene5781 Madam, since my positive assessment na kayo sa ACS, check nyo na points nyo kung aabot ng 65pts kahit di na kelangan ng band 7 na ietls. VETASSESS po ay assessing body same as ACS so di nyo na kelangan ang VET.
Saka take time to read ACS na discussion mas malilinawan kayo dun.

arlene5781 · February 2013

@cylin Thank you so much!

LokiJr · February 2013

@lock_code2004 magkaibang nominated occupation kasi yung work experience ko...same industry pero magkaiba yung ANZCO...yung current ko kasi yung bago whereas I have been working for five years on the other occupation

lock_code2004 · February 2013

@lock_code2004 magkaibang nominated occupation kasi yung work experience ko...same industry pero magkaiba yung ANZCO...yung current ko kasi yung bago whereas I have been working for five years on the other occupation

as per DIAC's rule: they can only accept the work experience if its related/closely related...
their definition of related/closely related is based on ANSZCO unit code (ung 1st 4 digits) should be the same..

but wala nmn masama, if you want to have your other work exp assessed by Vetassess...
my worry lang is it "might" not be acknowledged by DIAC as per their rule above..

jenipet20 · February 2013

@lock_code2004 - thanks! Nagtanong n ako s vet sabi fill up the form.. If i already submitted same documents daw ni need to submit again..

Sa tingin mo pa-count ko n kaya yun work experience ko? Kasi 1st company ko 2years 4mos ako.. 2nd company ko- 8mos lang.. Present company ko.. 1year 8mos n ako kaso yung napasa ko s vet ay 1year 3mos p lang ako.. Aantayin ko n lang b yung june para 5years n exactly total experience ko bago ako pacount s vet?

Saka yung s WA state sponsorship reqts di ko kasi gets.. My minimum b silang years of experience at kailngan b may employer n magsponsor sau from wa?

lock_code2004 · February 2013

@jenipet20 - kung lahat ng work mo eh related/closely related sa nominated occupation mo, i think mas okay na isama mo lahat, para ma-assess...

but then, please consider yung EOI points system, kung hindi nmn makakatulong sa pagtaaas ng work exp points mo (3yrs, 5yrs or 8 yrs) wag ng mag-effort...

eto ang suggestions ko:
1. given na matagal ang assessment ng Vetassess, kung hindi ka naman aalis sa job/company mo ngaun, pwde ka nang mag-paassess... pag lumabas ang assessment, hingi ka lang ng updated na COE sa company mo, para mapakita mo sa DIAC na nagwowork ka pa rin.. at mavalidate nila ang total 5 yrs

2. Or kung hindi ka nmn nagmamadali, wait for june..

Regarding WA sponsorship, i dont think may minimum work exp requirement sila.. kaya okay lang as long as pumasa ka sa EOI Points..

LokiJr · February 2013

^ do you have some guidelines as to how we can tell an occupation closely resembles another? Pag same industry puwede naba yun?

jenipet20 · February 2013

@lock_code2004 - mukhang di naman ako aalis dito s present work ko.. Closely related naman mga work experience ko kasi same industry naman magkaibang company lang..

Question ulo.. Di ba hindi ako nagpa test points s vetasses.. Pede bang n gawa n ako ng eoi? Icoconsider pa din kaya ng diac yung work experience ko kahit hnd ko n ipacount s vet?

as they said.. yung point test advise is NOT Mandatory, but HIGHLY suggested by DIAC..
you can take a risk, by submitting EOI (w/o the point test advise on your work experience)..
yung mga ibang nag-pa-assess before EOI implementation, naka kuha naman sila ng Visa kahit walang point test advice...

the CO will make a decision on your work experience based sa mga documents mo (whether its related or not to your occupation) three things can happen:
- you will get a visa,
- they will ask you to get a point test advice.. application will be delayed
- visa rejection (hopefully this will not happen), if they think that your work exp is not relevant or they cannot validate your work experience..

so again, if you think na highly relevant talga ang work exp mo... you can go ahead with EOI..
weigh the risk...you decide...
goodluck po..

lock_code2004 · February 2013

^ do you have some guidelines as to how we can tell an occupation closely resembles another? Pag same industry puwede naba yun?

im not aware of any guidelines... ang alam ko lang ung ANSZCO code definition, and if they belong to the same UNIT CODE for closely related occupation..

jenipet20 · February 2013

@lock_code2004 - sabagay risky nga... Wait ko reply ng vet gano katagal uli ang assessment nila.. At sana hindi n ako hingan uli ng payslip s previous job ko

LokiJr · February 2013

Ok...kung puwede lang sana magpa-assess ng dalawang occupation nang sabay para isang fee lang babayaran hehe

Arch_Onin · February 2013

I'm new here. I'm currently in the middle east at malaki po ang naiitulong sa akin ng Forum na to'.. Kumuha na rin po ako ng age

Arch_Onin · February 2013

I'm new here in this site. I'm currently in the middle east at malaki po ang naiitulong sa akin ng Forum na to'.. Kumuha na rin po ako ng agency for my application. May konti lang po ako gusto iclarify just to have a "2nd Opinion" before lodging my assessment.

My agency advised me to have all my certificate of employment in "Architectural Draftsperson" position. Which I already did, signed and agreed with all my present and past employers. Eh ang kaso baka naman mamroblema ako kpg hiningan ako ng Contract of Employment later on, which I had long time back in different positions ( EA. Designer, 3D Designer, Architect).

Ang tanong. Mas maganda po ba ipasa nalng ang Certificate at iwan nlang ang Contract of Employment then hintayin nlang ang hatol ng VETASSESS or kumuha nlang ng bagong certificates na katulad ng mga nsa position ko sa contract? (Designer, 3D Designer, Architect).

Ask lang po ng mga opinion nyo mga kababayan ko sa Australia.

Medyo kinakabahan lang.. hehehe.. Maraming salamat po! God Bless!
