Question po. sa mga may ACS assesment result before May, yung current employment ba eh nacacalculate? Like say for example, i will be with my present company for 3 years in the next few months, and that will complete my 8 years/10 as required to get 15 points. I was short a few months when my ACS result came out. Pano po kaya yun? Would that be automatically added, or yung effective date was the date na nasa result? Please enlighten me.

- points for Work Exp - is based "at the time of EOI invitation".. so kung nag increase na ang points mo from the time of your assessment result, you just need to update your EOI and provide latest COE from the same company, of course assuming that you are doing the same job...

Tanong ko lang po and iconfirm yung below before ako mag submit ng application. I am 95% ready na to submit.
1. Online lang po ba application sa ACS? No need na magpadala ng mga documents?
2. Sa mga may Microsoft / CCNA certification, sa certificate kasi hindi mentioned yung ID and password to verify online. Paano po ninyo minention yun sa application ninyo? Ang ginawa ko kasi nilagay ko sa CV ko at sa detailed job description from my employer nung time na naacquire ko yung certification. Tama po kaya yung ginawa ko o may separate kayong doc just for the verification credentials?
I hope someone share their thoughts.
Thank you in advance.

1. Online ang ACS application ko, which is mas mabilis maglodge ng application for assessment. Based sa experience ng kasama kong pinoy dito sa work, hindi sya nagsubmit ng hard copy, lahat ng docs nya ay scanned copy ng mga Certified True Copy. Ang pagkakaalam ko dati (2009) need mong ipadala ang hard copy, pero ngayon soft copy ok na, unless hingin sayo.
2. May MS certification ako, separate document sya at dun ko inupload sa Relevance Qualification section, separate pdf file sya.
Regarding sa ID at password for Microsoft certifiacation, kailangan mong ishare ang MS transcript mo and then iprint mo ito to PDF. So bale ang pages ko for MS Certification e ganito
page 1 - yung transctipt id and access code mo, para makita agad nila at kapag nagverify sila sa https://mcp.microsoft.com/authenticate/validatemcp.aspx , makikita nila ang MS credentials mo.
Page 2 - isinama ko na rin ang MS Transcript ko (downdable sa MS MCP site - https://mcp.microsoft.com)
Page 3 and so on - MS Certificate ko (downdable sa MS MCP site - https://mcp.microsoft.com)
Hope makatulong ito.. I'm still waiting for the result of my assessment.

Yung page mo ba for the id and password at yung transcript eh notarized din o yung certificate lang? Currently yung certificate lang ang CTC'ed sa akin. And yung all MS certification mo ba is in 1 PDF file lang nung pinass mo? May 2 kasi akong MCTS but not sure if need ko sya isubmit sa 1 PDF file lang. Kung 1 PDF file lang... di ba may date completion per document sa online application? So nasa isip ko tig 1 upload sila meaning tig 1 pdf file. Tama kaya yun?
Thanks a lot sa information na ito. It helps a lot.

But if you are claiming for vendor cert along at di mo natapos ang bachelors degree (example lang)... then I think you have to do extra effort to showcase your vendor certs...

Then lahat sila 1 PDF file lang kasi under sila ng Microsoft (as Institute). kung marami ka namang certification sa MS lahat yun lalabas sa Transcript mo, kaya yung page 2 ko andun ang transctipt, then page 3 and so on andun ang certificates..
Note: kaya inilagay ko sa page 1 ang details ng transcript ID and Access Code dahil sa na-experience ng kasama kong pinoy dito na dun sa last page ng PDF nya inilagay. Yung assessor hindi yata binasa lahat ng pages, kaya binalikan sya at hinahanapan ng Transcript ID & Access Code. so ginawa nya sinabi nya na nasa last page then nag-upload ulit sya ng panibagong PDF na nasa first page.

Gawin mo hingi ka generic COE or kung puede hingi ka din ng letter from HR na nagsasabi na hindi sila nag proprovide ng detailed COE maybe due to confidentiality or whatever reason + if possible na makakuha ka ng paper with company logo (with contact numbers ng company) at gumawa ka ng sarili mong detailed reference letter na may pirma ng any colleague with higher position sayo.
Good luck!
