Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

edselrosales123 · October 2023

Hello everyone.

My husband is a civil engineer. His experiences are related to safety. I want him to be assessed as civil engineer.

This means his CDR must contain reports from college.

It has been 7 years since he finished college.

Will he still have a positive skills assessment?

toyaman · October 2023

Meron po ba dito na Engineer tapos ang experience ay sa manufacturing/production? Mag papatulong lang po sana ako sa pag gawa ng CDR. Nahihirapan lang po ako kase hindi project based ang experience ko. Thank you.

Good day po sa lahat. Some advice needed lang po about RSEA. I had positive assessment for chemical engineer in 2018 and EA told me that I can apply for duplicate of this but if I am planning to submit for RSEA, makakasama na yung update ng positive outcome ko as chemical engineer doon sa RSEA.

Based po sa mga nabasa ko na dito, meron po gumawa ng sariling version for the detailed engineering duties then pina-sign/validate na lang po sa senior colleague/line manager.

Need lang po opinion from people na with positive outcome ng RSEA if enough na po yung ganitong detailed engineering duties na example:

(1) Develops and updates process flow diagram for new or innovation raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished goods developed by R&D ensuring suitable control and measurement points are incorporated into the detailed engineering design.
(2) Generates mass balances for individual process steps or full process lines, where applicable to establish basic operating condition, detect deviations and address corresponding waste and losses to maintain high output efficiency.
(3) Develops and deploys the technology framework for each factory for assigned technology. Single point resource for factory engineering team for technology selection (process design/ machine selection).

Thanks po in advance sa help!

mas okay po kung malagyan nyo ng specific equipement or processes sa work nyo. Medyo generic po kasi yung namention nyo po na examples. Just my two cents po.

Good Day Engineers! ask ko lng po yung may experience sa case ko, 3 years 8months po ako job order sa government office pero yung assessment po nacredit 1 year lang since yun lang ang may itr ako since nagexceed sa threshold na taxable income, the rest nung years di nag exceed ung threshold ng income kaya di nacredit yung years, sa eoi ko po ilalagay ko po ba yung actual na 3years 8months na work experience ko or yung 1 year lang na assess ni EA?

After almost 4 months of waiting for the outcome.
Received it today and credited 12 years out of 17 years of experience as a PE Mechanical Engineer.
The 5 years deduction is because of lack of secondary document especially the current off-shore employment I am employed.
Still, it is a happy day and I can progress with the visa lodging now.

Timeline are as follows:

June 23, 2023 - MSA + CDR + RSEA + FAST TRACK Lodge
July 20, 2023 - Assessor asked for additional supporting documents
August 8, 2023 - Submitted supporting documents
October 13, 2023 - Positive Outcome granted

Edwardsq11516 · October 2023

Hi po question lang.
Meron na po akong positive outcome sa EA and rsea po. Pano po mag claim ng 1 year onshore experience this coming january next year. Btw nakapag lodge na rin po ng EOI.
Pano po gagawin? Need pa po ba ulit magpa rsea next year?

DyanSP0505 · October 2023

Hello po uli. Magtatanong lang po paano mag-apply ng relevant skilled employment assessment na hiwalay from the general migration skills assessment? Meron na po kasi akong outcome way back 2018 and advice naman ng EA na isabay ko na lang yung renewal nito if magsasubmit naman ako ng RSE assessment pero hindi lang po clear kung paano yung proseso. Thanks po uli sa sagot nyo.

Got my positive outcome plus 8yrs+ experience! TYL! Thank you so much sa lahat ng members na masipag na nagrereply sa mga queries dito.

My turn to share some infos:

Collecting and compiling required documents:

Reference Letters based sa MSA, ako na gumawa ng template para piprint nalang ng HR at isasign (4 ang work experience ko at may isa akong work, na nag-awol ako pero may contract, coe, payslips at 2316 ako, kaya sinama ko pa din, na-award naman)

BIR 2316 every year

Payslips (3months per work)

SSS, Philhealth and Pagibig (Online lahat to) Generate lang sa website save as "PDF"

CDR Preprations

Career Episodes are based on my work experience. No certain format, essay type ang ginawa ko. Read carefully the MSA Booklet andyan naman lahat.

Summary - just answer the template provided in the MSA

CPD - Table type 1 a4 size only, wala ako masyado seminars or training after graduation. We have 2 businesses na ako ang nagmamanage, nilagay ko din since nagagamit ko dito yung course ko.

PTE - Youtube lang then mock exam, subscribed in APEUNI App.

Yan lang po! SALAMAT PO AT GRADUATE NA AKO DITO SA EA.

NEXT:
WAITING GAME SA INVITE. HAHAHA!

Hi, makikisuyo po sana ako, pwede nyo po kaya i-share kahit isa sa reference letter nyo? Pa-cover lng po ng mga details except sa job title and 5 main specific duties undertaken.

Meron ako reference letter from my current employer, pero walang 5 main specific duties undertaken. Gusto ko lng po sana i-compare kung ano itsura.

Thank you po!

Hello, asking for your insights po how to respond on EA's request.
Humihingi po sila ng below documents (1~3) with regards sa current employer ko dito Au. Pero wala pa po ako ng income tax & superannuation insurance kasi kakastart ko pa lang po ng work last July. Pano po kaya ang pwede ko isagot kay EA?

Hello. Employed rin ako starting July pero achievable naman lahat ng hinahanap sa yong secondary doc or may alternative na pwede.

1**. ATO Tax Return Summary** - Di kaya pwede na isend mo muna yung Income Statement mo sa ATO account mo since di ka pa nakabuo ng 1 financial year?
2 and 3 Superannuation. Chineck ko yung account ko ng superannuation. And may nakita akong mga statements. Have you checked your account sa super? Lahat ng correspondence andun.

Hope it helps.

Hello, thanks for your response po.
Pero yan din naisip namin na ibigay na lang (kasi for my husband ang hiningi ni EA ay ATO income statement and ATO Super contribution) pero may nakalagay kasi na ganito below
We decided na magquery muna kay EA to explain na wala pa ako ng Ato Tax Return (kasi wala pa 1 yr), Super Insurance (kasi wala pa 6kAUD laman ng super) and Super Annual Statement (Kasi wala pa din 1 yr)

I think your husband will be questioned why his career epsiodes are only from college but his CV contains 7 years of experience.

One can get positive skills assessment without claiming work experience.. if cv contains 7 years, it doesn’t really matter if he’s not doing skilled work assessment.

Hello po. I need help from anyone you have the same experience as me.
I got this EA feedback. What to do about this? TIA.

I think just proceed ung option 3. at least wala ka na ipprovide pang details. not sure with your goal. but if its just to get a positive feedback from EA and submit EOI the earliest, then option 3 is the most viable option for you.

Thank you po for your advise. Will proceed with this option.
Also, the EA asked for updated reference letter. I have been in the same company with several positions. I have submitted different reference for each position signed by diff managers as well.

But EA asked for updated reference letter. Shall I ask the reference letter from HR? and must state in the letter the summary of positions? I'm not comfortable asking these details to HR since I'm still connected with company.

Check the date if the reference letter you provided for your current employment. Usually when they ask for an updated letter, they just want the most recent date on the letter. Hope that helps

Thank you po ma'am Rhea. got positive outcome ng EA last June 28, 2023

Hello po, active pa po kaya ito? Nasa Au na po kayo? Magtatanong din po sana ako. Yung sa husband ko po kasi, ECE din po sya pero Instru&controls naging work nya po sa coal power plant. Balak po sana na mag pa assess as Plant Engineer din. Engineering Technologist po ba karaniwang result? Pag po ganun pwede pa rin iapply sa visa 189? Hoping for your reply po

I have a degree in Electronics (ECE) Engineering, but my work is more related to Plant Engineering (Mechanical), and more recently Electrical (Magulo, I know. hehe) . When I consulted with an agency they just said it will be difficult to get a positive outcome, with no way forward given to me-- granted it was a free consultation so di naman sila required na magbigay ng suggestion. haha

Anyway I just saw a recent post here na nagreply ang assessor na Engineering Technologist na lang ang kunin. Anyone else decided to do this and got an invitation? Hirap na hirap na rin ako gumawa ng CDR na kelangan i-align sa Electronics (since iniisip ko yun ang lisensya ko baka yun ang hanapin ng EA.)

Thanks for your replies!

Also, need ba talaga mag RSEA?? Ang mahal eh and ang hassle ng reference docs! HAHA Thanks!

Hi, ECE din po. Nominated occupation is Plant Engineer but EA advised to provide certification/license of Plant Engineer or another option is to nominate Engineering Technologist and asked for updated reference letter. after 1 week may positive outcome naman po. Thank God.

Hi, Instrumentation ka ano? Ang hirap i-explain kapag ECE haha! I just submitted my CDR last week, hoping for a positive outcome. I had to forego yung karamihan ng skills ko in instrumentation para mag-sound electronics sya. Buti na lang I also have few experiences in control systems, yun na lang ginamit ko. I'm very anxious na sa result, but I will also be okay with Engineering technologist kung yun talaga ang only choice.

Thank you and congratulations on the positive outcome! Sana ako rin soon

Shoot for Production & Plant Engineer, (Specialization: Automation Engineer). Depends on CDR, EA might give Engineering technologist. Just write the CDR based on Anzco descriptions to get better result. Both can apply for 189. If given the choice check mo na lang yung Skills Priority list (soft/high eme, google mo na lang) to help you decide.

Hello! Help po. Ano po kaya pwede gawin kung ayaw talaga magbigay ng JD si previous company sa COE? Company policy daw kasi.

Same problem. May nabasa po ako na gumawa ng sariling reference letter pero ipa-sign sa mas senior na position, either direct or indirect. Tapos i-attach sa official COE sa company.

Hope someone can confirm na pwde ganitong solution.

Grabee ang tagal lumakad ng application ko. Yung kachat ko sa isang group after 2 days mag Assessment in Progress may feedback na agad to submit additional documents. Tapos may isa pa syang kakilala na same situation. Yung sa akin mag 2 weeks na since mag assessment in progress wala pang feedback.

Tapos may nakita din ako sa FB wala pang 20CD may positive feedback na. Huhu. Nakakafrustrate mag wait. Lalo at gusto ko na din mag file ng EOI dahil kainti lang ang allocations this year. I know that we have different situations, documents and assessor. Pero nakakainis lang kasi parang balewala din yung fast track kung yung ma-assign sayo a assessor eh mabagal mag-assess. 😭

There's nothing you can do at this point. Why worry? It won't affect your results anyway. Your time will come. 😊

Did you avail Fast Track?

I had a similar experience. What I did was, I made my own reference letter indicating all the necessary details mentioned in MSA. Then had it signed by the Manager. I have also reflected the contact details (email ad/tel number) of the undersigned. Then I combined this ref. letter with the COE (with company logo) given by the HR in a single document.

EA didn't ask for additional docs related to the ref. letter naman. Siguro po as long as you are able to provide all the other primary and secondary docs, you'll receive positive assessment right away.
