Hi Ms. @annedetermined.. Thank you for sharing your journey and tips.. To all members thanks for sharing marami akong napulot na sagot while reading conversations. I’m ME, also preparing my documents for assessment.
During payment po ba kay EA, acceptable po ba ang Debit Card? Kasi po sa MSA booklet Credit Card ang nakalagay. Just wanted to confirm lang po sa mga previous applications if ano po ang ginamit ninyo..? Narelieved po ako nong nabasa ko ung post ni Ms. @annedetermined that she use Debit Card, As of now wala pa po kasi akong credit card, debit card po ang available ko. Thank you in advance sa response. God bless us all.

why not try to apply for the machinist skill// i think sakop to ng general fitter (323211) or metal machinist - first class (323214) kasi mas madami ka experience dun (over 10years) and magagmit mo un points for skilled migration visa.

Hi I posted this as a new thread pero mukhang wala makaka pansin and matatabunan na so Ill just post this here for some help.
HI po sa mga CIVIL Engineers dito sa forum. My cousins po mag-asawa is both Civil Engineers and planning to apply for skilled visa.
Yung Guy is Working as a project engineer at a construction company sa SG and doing horizontal (roads), vertical (building) and reclamation.
On the other hand, yung Gal is yung work nya ay mostly mechanical engineering. She's working as a Senior Project & Design Engineer and also acts as ASME QC Manager. So more on mechanical engineering side yung work nya.
Anyone ba sa inyo ang atleast same or malapit na experience for EA Assessment? Ano kaya magandang atake dito sa mag-asawa na to.
Thank in advance guys!
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

RSEA - Relevant Skilled Employment Assessment -> Dito yung ipapasa mo yung mga skill and employment related credentials mo to EA para ma assess nila if saang category ka and i think to merit yung number of working years kasi may additional points din siya.

Hello everyone….just new year here in the forum and am looking forward to learn the visa processes more.
Mechanical Engineer, 40 yrs of age and my employer is willing to sponsor me.
Marami po ba dito ang nag DIY?
I am trying to do a DIY kasi and following some process mukhang kaya naman po…may mga certain questions lang ako na d ko maresearch ang sagot 😅
Bale po about sana sa skill assessment ng EA and sa required docs na needed.
May nakita kasi ako checklist na need ng docs like COE, payslips, sss, govt contributions etc but not sure if needed ba lahat or anyone of the each will do?
About sa COE may format po ba ito na required or pwede na ung nirelease ng employer mismo? May nagadvise kasi na dumaan sila sa agent and may format na binigay to have their previous employers sign it again. Unfortunately for me majority na napasukan ko are closed na so d ko na mahabol 😩 ok lang po kaya ung original copy ng COE from employer?
About payslips, ung last job ko lang po ang meron ako naitabi the rest wala na po. Nagstart kasi ako work 2004 po and d ko naman makita na 😩 what other options po kaya for this? Will ITR or SSS copy from the website will do?
Last po, currently i am working with an Australian company as a subcontractor (contract renewable yearly) remotely here sa PH. Direct hire po ako nila so wala akong middle man na agency or company na dinaanan. Bale ung salary monthly pa dn pero once nagsubmit ako ng invoice sa kanila. Direct po ung pag wire transfer nila sakin and wala payslips and no govt contributions at all. d ko pa naaapply as self employed. Ung narerecieve ko lang sa kanila as proof of payment is ung wire transfer from the online system nila. Ok na po kaya un as supporting document?
Looking forward po sa mga suggestions nyo about my inquiry.
Sana po mapansin
Have a good day po.
Salamat in advance po.

Thank you sir for your answer. And medyo nakahinga ng onti sa 10 years lang na need pala….
But sir ano kaya pwede mangyari sa situation ng current work ko?
Ung reference letter po maaari ko po mapapirmahan sa kanila pero ung sa payslip po kasi is parang wire transfer slip lang ang binibigay nila sakin will this be ok kaya?
Last po about sa statutory letter po need lang po ba na gumawa lang or may format dn?
Thanks again po

Hi everyone, were any of you assessed as a Engineering Technologist while your occupation is something else? In this case, was your past work experiences considered relevant for Technologist by EA and/or DOHA?
My past work experience is on Telecommunication Systems (Tech support engineer, technical consultant, etc..) which seems to lean more towards Systems Engineering, so I'm wondering if EA or DOHA will recognize my work experience.
Any insights or feedback would be helpful. Thanks

My 3 years UK degree is accredited and recognized via Sydney accord leading to technologist. It's a straightforward path, and I didn't want to waste too much time to prepare CDRs. And since the degree is 3 years only, it will be very difficult to convince EA to give me professional engineer title.
I do feel that the MSA booklet definition of Technologist match my duties, but the only thing is, I work with systems which we design, build, program and implement (on server farms) for automated data and traffic processing in Telecom networks.
I saw that EA also have accredited courses in Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems Engineering) https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/resource-files/2018-02/ENGINEERS AUSTRALIA ACCREDITED PROGRAMS_0.pdf
Hopefully someone who was assessed as technologist and managed to get their work experience recognized could shed some light here.
