  hi everyone again...guys ask ko lng sana ano pagkaka intindi nyo dto sa reply ng ACS.

  Your Employment Reference Letter for your network Engineer at abc.com work episode is unsuitable for assessment due to the following reasons: Black & White Scan;Certified True Copy.
  ---> tama po ba understanding ko dpat hndi certified true copy ang e send ko? tpos dpat colored yon scan? kaso yon original hindi din kasi colored. May same case ba sa inyo?

  Your Bank Statements (employed) for your network engineer at abc.com work episode is unsuitable for assessment due to the following reasons: Required Details Not Given.
  ---> payslip ang inattached ko at hindi bank statements

  Your Payslips for your Network Engineer at Bhavyam Infotech Services Pte Ltd work episode is unsuitable for assessment due to the following reasons: Certified True Copy.
  ---> eto yon tinitingnan ko na tamang document pero dapat ba hindi naka certify true copy?

  Thank you po.

  1. Dapat colored po ang reference letter with the company letter head po
  2. Pwede ba malaman kung ano ang mga sinubmit mo for abc.com? Medyo general term kasi ang "Required Details not Given"
  3. No need for certified true copy just scan the payslips. I scanned the first and last payslips of the year sa case ko kasi nagwork ako ng matagal sa isang company.

  hi po mga sir, ask ko lang meron bang time limit ang pag submit ng application sa ACS upon payment? nagkataon meron ako nakaligtaan na coe...

  another question po meron ba sa inyo nag submit sa acs na hindi naka indicate ang working hours? hndi kasi ito nalagay, bale yon mga coe ko e nirequest ko pa noon using yon old template mga several years ago, nag apply kasi ako noon with 75pts pero hndi ako nakareciv ng ITA...ngayon gusto ko ulit e try...

  another thing noon, kahit certifications like for cisco isinama ko, pero ngayon sa new portal it looks like hndi kelangan? naninigurado lng po...thank you

  If mahirapan ka makakuha ng reference letter na complete ang details you can try statutory declaration instead. Your manager or lead will attest in writing about the job description, hours, work etc. You will need a copy of his COE and valid ID then papa notary mo with your COE and valid ID. Yun ginawa ko sa isang company ko na nagsara na.

  Yeah hindi na nila nirerecognize ang Cisco certifications. If you are licensed ECE make sure to submit your board certificate. I was assessed noon as Diploma lang from a section 2 school pero minention ko na may board certificate ako na sinubmit kaya binago nila into Bachelors.

  Hello I'd like to get your inputs

  I'm an ECE graduate in a sector 1 school. I have almost 6 years work experience:

  • 2 years in semiconductor industry (electronics + little bit of programming)
  • 4 years in IT as a Data Engineer (Software Engineer)

  1. Would ACS be the right choice over EA (Engineering Australia)?
  2. What are my chances of being assessed as an ICT-Major or ICT-Minor?

  Thank you!

  I have clients with the same course and 9 out of 10 ACS deducts 4 > @jess01 said:

  Best to provide a supporting document to link those addresses with the same company.

  Hi everyone! I have a question.

  In my last company, I had a total of 6 years experience as an Analyst Programmer and also the occupation which I submitted to ACS last 2023. This year, I resigned and landed a System Analyst job. My problem is magcacount pa ba yung experience ko as a System Analyst kahit ibang group yung previous experience ko? (Software Engineer and Programmer). Balak ko kasi magpa-reassessment ulit.

  Baka kasi nakalipat nga ako ng work pero hindi naman magdadagdag ng points yung experience ko kasi hindi na sila closely related (

  Thank you and hoping for your insights!

  Thank you! Actually, I checked with ACS description nung skills doon. And more like nag-ooverlap sa DevOps yung ginagawa ko which is fortunately part pa rin ng Software Engineer and Programmers group. I’ll just make sure na leaning siguro yung description ni Employment Reference to DevOps kaysa sa System Analyst.
