Refer to ACS website directly, there's a document that summarizes what you need. They did a good job of putting what you need to do, start reading from here.

Shows the checklist what you need before you submit your application.

HR or supervisor/manager

Hi. I'm a SysAd, for 8yrs. Meron ba dito nakapag submit ng assessment na ang reference letter ay hindi nakaletter head?

Yung 2nd company ko kasi:
1. Ayaw magissue ng reference letter na naka-letter head (HR/Dept Manager)
2. Yung manager ko willing naman magbigay reference letter na wala sa letter head or affidavit, pero yung COE nya hindi nakalagay ang talagang position nya na manager, kundi visa ang nakalagay (Developer).

Thank you

If hindi makapag-issue ng Employment letter with details job description, then ask for usual Employment letter, then you may contact your TL/lead/supervisor/Manager mo para sa Statutory Declaration.

For me, ako nagprepare ng Stats Declaration format and details then pinavalidate ko sa TL ko yung job description, then yung start and end date is aligned sa Employment Letter ko sa company.

Hi. Thanks for the response.

Sa ACS guidelines, if tama pagkakaintinndi ko, if Stat Dec ang kukunin ko need ng COE ng Supervisor/Manager. Which is sa COE nila, same scenario hindi actual position ang nilalagay ng HR, kundi yung visa nung na-hire sila (like Developer). BTW, nasa middle east ako kaya may ilang company iba iba ang standard sa HR Dept, or totally walang standard

Hi,

I just got my ACS Skills Assessment today as suitable pero never akong nag-submit ng COE ng Supervisor ko sa mga Statutory Declaration ko. What I have from them is yung signature nila sa letter.
Not sure if this because 2nd time ko na itong nag-paassess at yung dating Statutory Declaration ko ang ginamit ko sa dati kong work experience.

Ano yung mga iniattach ko
Personal Details:

Passport
my own CV/Resume
Government ID sa pinas
Birth Certificate

Qualification:

Transcript at Certificate

Working Experience:

Payslip
Bank Statement
Tax Document
Letter of Employment
Statutory Declaration (if walang job details ang Letter of Employment)

Hello All, silent reader here.

Nareceive ko na kasi yung assessment result ko after 5 weeks of waiting. Unfortunately, equivalent to AQF Advanced Diploma with a Major in computing ang nakuha ko and 6 years yung deduction sa years of experience ko.

As per checking, yung university where I graduated is under Section 2 and my GPA/GWA > 2.00 naman. Question, appeal na ba agad or ask ko muna yung reasons kay ACS? Thanks in advance!

meow14 · July 2022

Regarding sa question ko above, nag backread ako dito sa page and I found out na nag-update na pala sila ng process in June 2020 so any college/university under Section 2 is comparable to AQF Associate Degree/Advanced Diploma regardless kung GPA/GWA >2. Late ko na nabasa, natanong ko na si ACS pero expecting the same result na rin haha.

For reference, in case na may maghanap din:

Thanks @meow14 , hindi ko rin napansin yung qualification part. Pang-3rd time ko na ito nagpaassess, first two assessments Bachelors Degree, pero this time AQF Associate Degree... Nag-email na ako sa ACS and let's see kung ano ang reply nila.

If para makuha ang Bachelors Degree ay need ng PRC license, e pano naman yung Comp. Eng. na walang board exam?

buchock · July 2022

For sharing, ito ang reply ng ACS sa akin bakit AQF Associate Degree na lang

"Since the submission of your previous ACS skills assessment, changes have been made in the alignment of the Australian national education standards and your education institution.

This has resulted in the designation of your qualification award to be assessed as comparable to an AQF Associate Degree.

Due to the high number and complex factors involved in the comparability process, the ACS is unable to provide specific information on individual international institutions or qualifications as this would entail a lengthy and involved deliberation of various qualification frameworks, international accreditation methodologies and skills recognition indicators."

Thanks @buchock, yung may mga license from Section 2 schools na lang ang kinoconsider nila for Bachelor’s Degree.

Anyway, nagreply na rin yung ACS sakin, mukang irereview nula ulit yung details: “A suitable result letter will be issued if it is possible to finalise the result letter without requesting any further documentation.” Pero tingin ko same lang din ang result. 😆

Newbie here. Question po, ano po yung consequence if ganyan ang assessment na nakuha mo (AQF Advanced Diploma with a Major in computing)? Bawas po ba sa points?

moe_greene · July 2022

Hello po. Question, may naka encounter na po ng paghingi ng Employment Reference Letter with the same company pero may 2 tenures ka with them? Same position/title/role pero may gap between the two tenures kasi lumipat ka ng ibang company tapos bumalik ka sa kanila?

For example ganito po yung scenario:

Ano po yung experience niyo dito? Mas okay po ba na pag isahin nalang yung Employment Reference Letter ng 2 tenures or separate document nalang?

Thank you po.

Im in the process of collecting payment evidences for employment beginning 2005 and so far challenging siya.

2005-2010: ITR complete; payslip cannot be retrieved, payroll system decommissioned
2012-2021: ITR missing year 2012; payslip missing start of 2012
2021-2022: no ITR for current year; payslip cannot be used, no earnings reflected, only deductions.

Question: enough na ba na SSS, Pag-Ibig, PhilHealth lang ang isubmit? Meron ba dito na ito lang ang nasubmit tapos hindi naman nagkaproblem?

Help! and TIA!

Newbie here. Bakit po pala need niyo mag submit ng ITR sa ACS? Di po ba enouogh na yung Employment Reference Letter na nka indicate yung sahod mo sa kanila? Thanks po.

Software Engineer | November 2011- May 2012 | Company A
Application Developer | June 2012 - Oct 2013 | Company B

Ano po yung experience niyo dito? Mas okay po ba na pag isahin nalang yung Employment Reference Letter ng 2 tenures or separate document nalang?

Tingin ko dapat magkaibang reference. Kasi considered ibang career episode na yung pagbalik mo sa kanila.
