Di ko din sure bakit ako nag negative nun. dahil di ako confident at first na maging positive sa EA dahil di ako licensed and most work experiences ko nun ay project management/supervision kaya sa Vetassess ako nagpasa as a Project Builder. Pero yun nga, nag negative sa Vetassess kaya tried my luck sa EA and got the positive assessment.

Hello. Good day.
Question 1: Should I opt for VETASESS or Enginners Australia for my skills asessment?
ANZSCO CODE: 312211 - Civil Engineering Draftsperson
Question 2: Meron po bang bearing kung ano sa dalawang asessing body na to ang mag check ng credentials?
Joined: Oct 28, 2021
Meron akong positive assessment sa Vetassess as CE draftsperson (7.5 yrs experience) and as professional engineer CE sa EA (walang years deduction sa EA).
Sa Vetassess na lang if draftsperson, kasi cheaper and easier kasi wala na CDR. pero may deduction ang vetassess ng 1 year work experience..
I think wala namang bearing kung anong assessing body. parehas namang recognized ng DHA.
By the way nainvite ako sa Visa 189 sa Vetassess draftsperson nung Aug 22.

Same! I got invited nung Aug 22 with CE draftsperson. Mababa points ko kaya hindi ko talaga expected na mainvite ako sa visa 189. I was actually looking at visa 190/491.
As per my agent a year ago (hanggang ngayon naman siguro), mataas ang kompetensya pag Civil Engineer ang occupation at mas may chance ma-invite ang Civil Engineering draftsperson.

yes, may mass invitation ung DHA sa civil engineer draftsperson nung aug 22. kasi may kilala ako, 65 points + offshore pero 189 invited din nung aug 22 sa CE draftsperson. di ko din expect ma invite, kaya nag pa assess din ako as civil engineer anzsco 2332 kasi pmsol daw. aug 21 ako nagpasa sa EA, then aug 22 na invite ung CE drafts, kaya naging 2 tuloy assessment sakin.
I think first batch din ung aug 22 for 189 invitation for 2022-2023. dami ko din kilalang onshore nurses nainvite nung same day. mejo lucky ung CE drafts nung time na yun..

Hindi ko sure yung sa drawn by, pinili ko lang talaga yung merong initials ko. Pero kung sa lead nakapangalan, ok lang siguro yun. May ibang supporting documents pa naman na magsasabing nagwork ka talaga sa company at certain role.

Yes bawat company na may design/drafting roles na napasukan ko, nagsubmit ako ng 3 to 5 sheets. Yung pinasa ko 1 project per company tsaka pinili ko lang. Plans, sections, profile and details para may variety.
