ACS propably use the standard CEP for Educational Institutions in the Philippines.
It seems like there is more weight given to skills and work experience rather than the nominated occupation, (eventhough you must still nominate a occupation)

I just crossed this article just now... about the new point system
http://www.prlog.org/11375971-visa-bureau-reviews-of-australian-general-skilled-migration-result-in-new-points-test.html
according to it, medyo unclear pa talaga yung ibang aspect sa new point system.
na-cite dito ung tungkol sa Bachelor degree.

From the link provided above. I know we are still in wonder of how this new point system will affect an applicant, somehow I just wish that professional license will be given an extra point, even just 5. But, I don't seem to see any award to be given based on the links provided on the DIAC website. As for Bachelor's Degree, hopefully, that this does not discriminate on a university/college class/section as per Country Education Profiles will tell us.
The DIAC website is open enough that this new system is a major turn on for very high IELTS scores, highest educational attainment (PhD), longer working experience, and those belonging to the middle age group: 25-32 years old, (I really hope that I am 25 now, HAHA, I would wait for 2 years and 3 months for that, SIGH). I would really have hope that TBS of 8 will suffice, but they really require an 8 for EACH sub-test. Oh well, we could settle for 7.
If I may just ask, how can we amass 5 points from Country Language: Filipino? Do we really need to be accredited by NAATI as a translator or interpreter?
I am aware that it is expected that 65 is the new passing mark. Let's pray that the passing mark will be curtailed down to 60. Please, Lord?

Question lang po on the new point system, dun sa points on Overseas Work Experience. Yung term nila na "overseas", yun ba is if nag-work ka outside of your country (like OFW) or your work in the Philippines is considered as overseas work ng new point system? Kasi di ba meron din na points for Australian Work Experience. My assumption is they use the term "overseas" just to distunguish between Australian and non-Australian work experience. Tama po ba?
I am asking kasi po baka mamaya yung overseas pala is work outside ng Pilipinas. If ganun kasi bagsak kami sa new point system. :-(
