Hello, I received my skills assessment last September and unfortunately, hindi na-credit yung year ko sa isang company kasi hindi sya scope nung inapplyan ko na skills. Ang balak ko ngayon is magpa-assess ulit, example: from Analyst programmer to Software Engineer para mas malawak yung skills na scope ni Software Engineer. I will not pass new documents kasi same lang din naman yung mga documents na pinasa ko before.

Is it possible na magpare-assess ulit but update lang ng ANZSCO code? Thank you!

based sa mga nabasa ko here, possible naman.

kung ipapa-assess mo current employment mo, pass updated documents na lang din for that

hi all, what if hindi makapagprovide ang previous company ko ng payslip? Ang pnrovide na lang nila is 2316. valid ba yun? bali sss/pagibig and 2316 as forms of payment? or may iba pa bang pwede? tyia!

Hi, I did this dun sa isang employment episode ko. wala pa result yung ACS ko but based sa mga nabasa ko dito pwede na yan since 2 forms of payment lang ang need. Make sure the 2316 will cover the begininning and the end of your employment.

Sorry, just to clarify, hindi po ba 4 ang forms of payment na need iprovide? 2 forms of payment for the start and 2 for the end date? Or ok lang na 2 forms of payment in total? 1 for the start and 1 for the end?

Hi, 2 forms of payment lang. E.g 2316 = 1 form payment (Official government tax records), SSS and pag ibig are counted as 1 lang din since they fall as Employment linked insurance/superannuation documents. Ginawa ko prinrovide ko na din both sss and pag ibig since accessible naman sila online, screenshot mo lang.

What you need is to provide evidence on each of those form of payment that will cover the beginning and the end of your employment episode.

Hello All,
I got a negative result last year ago from ACS saying “having less 50% etc..” yes I admit there were missing payment evidences, and I did not thoroughly check the other required docs.

Anyway, after 1 year I made a thorough review of all docs and looks like I have them now in place, I even made a 1 hour initial consultation from an agent (but we lack time discussing other details, docs etc..)

My question, is it ok if I use a new email to do a new re-assessment? Reason is there was a mistake I did in my previous submission where I doubled up the employer as two entries but different start and end dates, and I think it might confuse/annoyed whoever was assessing from ACS. Sinubukan ko na I correct ayaw na pa delete so bad trip hehe.

Thanks in advance sa sasagot!

Based on my experience when I filed for reassessment, you can only use same email/account as it's tied up with your passport number.

6 years ang binawas ni ACS, ano magandang gawin dito, mag file na ko ng application ng Visa kahit kulang pa ng 8 months para sa 8 years exp or Appeal ko sa ACS muna?

nag email na ko sa ACS nung December, at nag follow up na ko nito January, once a month lang sila mag reply. yung first assessment ko 5 years lang ang binawas, ngayon pangalawa assessment 6 years na ang binawas.

Sa SkillSelect dashboard, meron <20 na invite counts for less than 95 points for visa 189 and 190. So may chance naman siguro ang mga may di kataasan na points.

2631 din po pala ako, pero di pa nagsa submit ng EOI.

Hi, seeking guidance! BS Chemical Engineering graduate po ako, pero work ko po since graduating is Software Tester (ANZSCO 261314). ACS lang po ba ang assessing body for this profession? And, possible po bang magka-positive skills assessment kung hindi related yung degree ko? 4 years na po ako nagwwork as software tester.

Yes ACS lang as of now. Itry mo din magpa assess. Hindi natin macconfirm kung di ittry. But you have to really tailor your job descriptions / roles as to that of 261314. Siguro wag ka nalang masyadong umasa na magiging suitable lahat ng years of work experience mo since medyo malayo talaga ang education mo as chem eng sa naging trabaho mo. Expect some deduction. Just my opinion. Basta itry mo magsubmit.

Sa guide po kasi nila may nakalagay na for non-ICT diploma holders, at least 6 years of experience and successful RPL application. Baka lang matic negative assessment pag hindi pa naka 6 years

mathilde9 · February 1

ito ba yun?

Baka nga kelangan mo mag RPL pathway talaga. May success story but I don't know if sobrang similar ang case nyo. Here basahin mo nalang or imessage mo si @deadcode09

Goodluck!

tumitingala · February 1

yup yan nga. sige hanap na lang din ako ng similar cases at ngayon lang ako nagbasa basa about this. maraming salamat!

VinMagzie28 · February 1

btw, for those sa mga nag submit ulit ng new application, paano po yung case na working pa den sa same employer and obviously start date is the same and iba na yung End Date. New Experience entry po ba yun?

Email ACS customer service. They will update for you. That was what i did with my case since hindi editable yung end date

Wow is this true?

Ang weird lang kasi inispecify pa ng NSW na yung points claim dapat after deemed skilled date ng ACS, and unique daw sakanila yun.
I thought paano naging unique eh akala ko ganon requirement ng lahat.

The visa he lodged was 189. Totally different from NSW's policy on 190.

Sorry another question. Sa SSS online, oks lang ba ung Employment History page para sa SSS as evidence?:

really sorry if this is a trivial question. Quite unsure lang talaga.

Hello po. Would like to get some insights regarding my chances. I'm planning to get skills assessment for 261313 - Software Engineer

Age: 27 y/old
Education:
BSIT
Section 3 school
Graduated as Magna Cum Laude (1.33)
Work Exp:
1st Company - Programmer (2yr & 1month)
2nd Company - Software Developer (6month)
3rd Company - Software Engineer (1yr & 2month)
4th Company - Developer (2yr & 5months) to present (current company)
Total working exp atm: 6yrs and 2months

Questions:
1) Do you think ACS will consider my education as a Bachelor equivalent since I have a good GWA standing and graduated with latin honor?

2) My career exp are really into coding/development/implem/deployment that's why I believe the 261313 - Software Engineer suits me best.

Is it okay that my job position differs from each company but I can guarantee that the role and responsibilities align with 261313

3) Assuming all work history is considered and ACS deducts 2yrs from my work exp (4yrs and 2months left), then I cannot get the 5yrs+ exp and can only achieve 5pts.

Do you think it's best to wait for months so that I can achieve the 5yrs+ exp?
I've read here that there's no need for reassessment as long as the current company is part of the assessment and still working there.

Thank you!!

mathilde9 · February 3

@midNightSun123
1. ACS doesn't consider GWA or latin honors. It's based on school.
2. Different job positions are okay, so long as roles and responsibilities align with ANZSCO.
3. Try and submit your assessment, your employment points will eventually increase if you're still in the same occupation/company.

1 - the grade has no value at all. If from section 3 institution, it will definitely won’t be equivalent to AQF bachelor degree. 5 years will be deducted unless applicant passed PRC exam. Assessing authority has no capacity to recognise qualifications they only refer to CEP. Hence if section 3 institution they cannot over ride that.

They are more after job duties rather than job titles.
Unlikely only 2 years will be deducted. If you were my client, I would still advise to proceed as you can still claim all the years. Seemed date only applies to some states. You need to be careful though when doing this.

All the best.

Hi Ka-ACS!

Meron po ba dito nag appeal sa ACS regarding skills assessment and succcessful?
May need ba isubmit once mag appeal?

Thank you.

Hello! Good day to everyone! I would like to get your insights po as I am planning to submit an assessment to ACS.

Age: 28
Work Exp: 8 years in the same company with 4 diff roles related to software/product support and QA testing, but big chunk po is support.
Education: Section 2 school - BSIT

1.) How many years will be deducted from my experience?
2.) May pag-asa po ba na maging AQF bachelor's degree if from a section 2 school?
3.) How big is the difference from ICT Support Engineer (263212) and ICT Support and Test Engineers (263299) when it comes to assessment po? Since same lang po sila na under ng job code na 2632.

Thank you so much po!

We wouldn't exactly know ilang years idededuct ng assessor. They may have publish a guideline but it's not followed absolutely and deduction will be based on the documents that you will submit.
Hindi yata. Considerable to Bachelors lang if you're non-ICT but with PRC license. I could be wrong.
Parang broader ang scope ng 263299 than 263212. Both are under STSOL so you can go for 190/491.
