Hello again. Will it mean anything to still add my Cisco CCNP vendor certifications? I'm preparing my documents for assessment for Computer Network and Systems Engineer - ANZSCO 263111

Hello everyone. I was able to get a reference letter from my previous employer pero electronically signed (not digital). Okay lang po ba yun? Anyone here nagpaassess with positive outcome that submitted docs with electronic signature?

yes. ok lang po ito. ganyan lang din po nisubmit ko may template lang kasi na gamit employer ko and attached na kaagad ang signature ng HR Manager namin

"consolodate all pages into one pdf for each qualification and each employment entry"
does it mean magkakasama lang sa isang file yung coe, stat dec and all pay evidences per work experience?

Depends on the document. It was mentioned that digitally signed doc, it should be separate. What I did before was COE as one file. Then all payment evidences (ITR, SSS, PAG IBIG, payslip) another file.

Ginawa ko po dyan is 1 PDF per company, tapos sa 1 pdf na yun, pinagsama ko lahat:

a - letter with job description
b - payslips
c - bank records / ITAS (tax screenshot)

Tinanggap naman ni ACS

same case po tayo. pareho lang naman po kasi yung description of duties ng Software Tester and Software Engineer

kaya nag pa-assess po ako ng software engineer. positive naman po result.
yung sa reference letter ko po nakalagay Software Engineer in Test yun naman po kasi yung job title ko sa company and yung sa description of duties ko naman po tugma naman sa kung ano yung sa ANZSCO code information.

Thanks sa response, that's the challenge now kasi yung Job Title ko is not Sofware Engineer in Test either QA Engineer, Test Analyst or Senior Test Analyst. Yung ACS ba mag base sila sa job title hndi sa job description? thank you

I always tell my clients to focus on the job description rather than the title. You can be whatever title you have as long as your duties match the ANZSCO defined occupation than it’s all good.

meron akong isang employer na Senior Associate yung job title ko and positive din yung assessment nila. and may mga nababasa din ako before dito sa forum(di ko nalang makita ulit kung saan) na di sila nagbabase sa job title mostly sa job description/description of duties.
cons kasi ng Software Tester ay di pwede sa SC189 kaya Software Engineer pina-access ko.
pero sa Victoria may mga software tester ako na nakita na naiinvite SC190

Hello! If Section 2 yung school, expected na AQF Associate Degree ang qualifications kay ACS, ilang years ang deduction ni ACS sa related experience?

I have 2 friends who got their assessment last year, both deducted 5 years.

Seconding the question pag nakapagupload ng wrong file. I initially created an ACS account and uploaded a quickie scan of my passport just to be able to save and continue to check the other pages and parked it. Di ko pa nacompile ung mga identification cards ko pero I will upload them eventually in one PDF but I can no longer delete ung passport scan ko. Okay lang kaya yun magreupload ako ng separate pdf file for my passport and other IDs?

Hello po, asking for advice. Nagpaskills assessment ako nung 2017 with positive results naman kaso nung nagbabasa ako ng recent application guide, kulang na yung info ng mga COE na dati kong naisubmit (uploaded parin sa ACS nung gumawa ako bagong application) + generic lang job descriptions na nakalagay. Ok lang kayang gamitin pa yung lumang COEs (since accepted as skilled employment naman dati) or mas mabuting magrequest nalang ako ng bago? Salamat ng marami!

trafalgar · January 2023

Hello po, pa advice din po. Agent po ung nag submit ng skill assessment ko nung 2020 (positive results). Kaso di tinuloy ng agent yung pag file ng visa ko dahil sa pandemic tapos hanggang ngayon di na sila sumasagot ng calls ko. Gusto ko po sana ituloy na ung application ko ngayon at need ko na e reapply ung ACS ko kasi expired na.

Question:

May kelangan po ba ako sa previous agent ko kung mag a-apply ako ng DIY sa ACS?
Dati kasi may natatanggap akong emails from ACS so di ko po sure kung connected yung email ko dun sa account nila.
Saka ung isang positive employment ko walang additional docs gaya nung salary evidence. Kasi at that time di pa needed. Need ko din ba e upload ung salary evidence pag nag reapply ako kahit na positive yung feedback sa first assessment?

Guidelines get updated frequently so make sure your current documents adhere to the guidelines, otherwise best to amend/collate further docs to be compliant.

Try niyo po i-login yung email ninyo sa ACS. If di po ninyo alam yung password try niyo po reset password then enter po ninyo email ninyo na nakakareceived ng emails from ACS, kung magproceed po siya makakareceive po kayo ng reset password link, kung hindi naman po gawa nalang po kayo ng bagong account na gagamitin po ninyo to apply sa ACS.
Yes po kailangan po mag submit ng payment evidence.

cp101030 · January 2023

Hi guys, anyone here who got married po and my ACS account na before po mgchange ng name? New account n lng po ba if mgpapaassess po ulit sa ACS? Also, safe po bng mgsubmit ng COE na resigned na po yung signatory? Thanks po.

milkthea · January 2023

Hello po. Tanong ko lang po kung gaano po usually katagal yung response ng ASC upon submitting? Thank you po

Makuneru · January 2023

@milkthea said:

Sa FAQs nila between 8 - 10 weeks for the skills assessment to be completed. Pero based on our experience nasa 6 weeks lang po nung natanggap po namin mga result letter namin ng wife ko.

null94 · January 2023

Now it is 10-12 weeks. My friend received her on 2 days before 12th week.

CinnZinn · January 2023

First time doing an ACS skills assessment here.
Paano po ninyo inorganize ung PDF to be uploaded sa ACS per employment experience?

Ang understanding ko is per employment I need to consolidate all docs to one(1) file but the max file size per employment is 3MB and it should be 300dpi quality. Ang employment experience ko for 1 company is for 6 years, so payslips palang 72 pages na. May bank statement, at goverment docs (sss,pag-ibig, philhealth) pa to add. Hindi po ata kakasya ang 3MB for almost 100 pages.

Kindly let me know kung paano nyo po inorganize at inupload ung files nyo to ACS skills assessment?

Maraming salamat.

Thank you so much sa pagrespond.
Based on your sample B.-E., okay lang ba yun na 2 lang kahit 6 years yung duration? Or better na kahit papano per year po ung proof na ilagay ko?
