Engineers Australia Skills Assessment

btarroja213 · July 2013

@btarroja213 , it wud be better if isama mu na as attachment ung PRC certification mu..madali lng ngaun ang renewal...as per advice kasi ng AE, any certification from PRC wud positively affect the outcome...in my case, habng ginagawa ko CDR ko, on process renewal ng PRC ko, relative ko ang nag process since andto ako currently sa Dubai..mabilis lng sya 15 days matatapos un..=)

@katkat, na submit ko na yung CDR application ko last June 6. Try ko kunin certification. Baka sakali maka habol.

Pwede kaya copy ng old license ko plus online verification from PRC website padala ko?

Thanks,
Bogs

Good Day po sa lahat.

I am preparing my CDR for assessment with Engineers Australia, one of their requirement is Certified evidence of registration with PRC. Tanong ko po kelangan ko po ba i renew ang PRC license ko o accepted nila kahit ung Certificate ng PRC na parang Diploma? Simula po kasi ng makuha ko ang license ko di n po ako nakapagparenew since di naman po ganong kagamit ang license sa profession ko as ECE.

Kung required po irenew, pano po kaya ang best way to renew while wala ako sa Pinas? Anu po mga requirements?

Maraming salamat po

Hi ceriel, meron ako kilala nakakuha ng possitive assessment as Pro-Engineer na same and situation sayo. Hindi nag renew pero merong certificate of registration ng PRC. Make sure lang to submit a CTC of the certificate.

Sa case ko kasi, nawala na yung certificate ko and PRC will not issue a new one pag hindi ako nag renew.

Thanks katkat. Wala naman siguro masama pag send ko yung picture ng old license. Sana lang mabasa pa yung details. Faded na masyado (was issued way back in 1996 :-D). Anyway, gawan ko na lang din ng Statutory Declaration together with the instructions how to verify online sa PRC website.

Thanks,

Hi! I am currently in Australia under student visa for 2 yrs. I planning to apply for subclass 189, but first i need my skills to be assessed by EA. Graduate po kasi ako ng engineering kaya lang po 15 yrs ago pa. I only have six years of work experience as an engineer kasi po more of teaching na po ako bago ako umalis ng philippines. Do you think po may chance for me to get a positive result from EA?

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@oz3girl - anu po ang course nyo ngaun sa AU?
at yun po bang 6 yrs work experience nyo, within the last 10 years?
at related po ba yun sa engineering degree nyo?

oz3girl · July 2013

@lock_code2004 Masters in MIS ang course ko dito sa au, IT subjects po kasi ang tinuturo ko sa phils (tertiary level). Yung 6 years po work experience ko as an engineer in a fabrication plant is within the last 10 yrs. Manufacturing engineering po ang degree ko, kaya lang medyo hindi pa sure sa assessment kasi matagal na ako graduate. At baka ma-question po ako dahil meron po time employed ako as an engineer tapos nagtuturo ako partime. Meron po ba kayo suggestions?

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@oz3girl - kung relevant ang work exp mo (ung 6 years) sa mfg engr degree mo..
pwede ka nmn mag pa-assess sa EA..

IE ako, at nagpart-time prof din ako for 2 years.. pero IE nmn ang pina-assess ko sa EA....
my job description and my CDR-career episodes were all related to IE..

it doesnt matter kung matagal na kayo graduate, ang guidelines lang naman eh within the last 10 yrs dapat ang work exp mo...

just like you, ang ipa-assess mo nmn eh ung 6 yrs work exp mo, at hindi ung part-time teaching..
if i were you, estimate your EOI pts, (age, work, ielts, educ, AU study pts kung 2 yrs ang course mo, etc).... kung makakakuha ka ng atleast 55 pts+5 pts SS =60pts,
i will proceed with the EA assessment, especially na valid pa ang IELTS mo..
prepare your documents, read EA guidelines, prepare your CDR-career episodes..

oz3girl · July 2013

@lock_code2004 medyo nabuhayan naman ako sa sinabi mo, na-enlighten ako... thank you I would stick to your suggestions...

ceriel · July 2013

@btarroja213 maraming salamat po. ganun nalang po ang gawin ko, mag attach nalang ako ng certified copy ng license ko.

Magtanong rin po pala ako regarding SS, pano po ba ang procedure dun? kasi po 55 points lang ako, kelangan ko po ng additional 5 points. Naggagrant po ba ang NSW (Sydney)? Since andito na rin po ako at dito rin ang work ko.

katkat · July 2013

@lock_code2004, excluding SS po 55 points n ako..

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@lock_code2004, excluding SS po 55 points n ako..

why not apply for SS... magsubmit ka na ng EOI mo.. and select visa 190....
that will make your total EOI pts 55+ 5 SS = 60pts..

then apply kana sa mga states.... while doing this, if you are really eager, you can take IELTS...
para pag tumaas ang score mo sa IELTS, you can edit your EOI and change to visa 190..

in this case, walang sayang na oras, malay mo mauna pa mainvite sa visa 190...

definitely... especially na may work kana dyan... mas mataas ang chance na ma-grant ka...
please check the thread for NSW SS applications....

why not apply for employer PR sponsorhsip though?

katkat · July 2013

@lock_code2004 , salamat bossing...un nga ang plan ko..EOI na tas apply for 190..at habng nag aantay take din ng IELTS ulit...=)

ceriel · July 2013

@ lock_code2004 last option ko po ang employer sponsorship, ang alam ko po ksi na policy pag ganun kelangan mag serve ng 2 years sa company kung sponsor nila. ung company ko po ksi sourcing sya medyo nag iisip ako baka pag sponsor nila e masyado i bargain ang rate ko..maraming salamat po.

walang restrictions sa company, but of course you'll pay for the visa..
goodluck..

ceriel · July 2013

@ lock_code2004 kita ko po ang timeline nyo. parang ang bilis po ng EA application nyo. Currently po ksi 19 weeks ang turn around periods nila. Actually, if ever na masubmit at ma invite thru skill select before Dec pasok p po ako ng 60 points. Medyo na late po ako pag take ng IELTS tas unknowingly ganun pala po katagal ang waiting ngayon with EA. Meron po ba kayo alam n way to expedite my EA application. Something like sa Pinas na me mga express services?

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@ceriel - medyo sinuwerte lang, dahil wala siguro nagpapa-assess during my time..

unfortunately, there is now way you can expedite the assessment result with EA..
okay lang yun, by that time, ubos na ang matataas na EOI pts, so malaki na ang chance na mabilis mainvite ang 60pts na EOI...

just hope na hindi pa ubos ang occupation limit (slots) ng nominated occupation mo..

ceriel · July 2013

@lock_code2004 - ang problem po ksi pagpasok ng Dec i'll be turning 33, so mababawasan ako ng 5 points if di umabot ang invitation before my birthday.

@ceriel: I've been tracking the msa-status of EA everyday since I submitted my CDR. I looks like the number of weeks for processing is getting shorter and shorter everyday. I'm not sure if this is because there were less CDR submissions 3 to 4 months ago. By my counting, the turn around these days is 14 weeks.

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@ceriel - oh okay.. check with EA if they can expedite your case..
sa ibang assessing agency kasi (like Vetassess) pwede ka magrequest ng priority processing for valid reason/s like ung birthday nga that will affect the EOI pts..

enquire ka sa EA website...

That would be great if possible. I myself naghahabol ng edad... I'll be 40y/o on Feb 2014. That would mean a 10 points deduction for age. I will email them to see if it is possible.

Thanks

@btarroja213 - share in this thread whatever you'll find out from EA..
goodluck..

ceriel · July 2013

@btarroja213 - 14 weeks nalang po ba ngayon? Last Sunday when we checked it 19 weeks po ang turn around period. Bk maihabol ko pa po, atleast di ko n kailanganin ang SS o company sponsorship.

@lock_code2004 tawagan ko po ang EA ngayon, baka possible nga mapabilis ng konti. Share ko po dito ang outcome.

Maraming salamat po.

ShayShey · July 2013

Hello Guys... share ko lang ang reply ng EA re: if PRC License is required for EA assessment

"If you are practicing Engineering in the Philippines, it will be necessary for you to be to be registered with the PRC for the assessment.
If you are not currently practicing in the Philippines, then it will not be necessary."

"Yes, what you propose should be fine ... it's just that if you were working in the Phillippines without a PRC License, then it would be unreasonable to expect to be assessed as a Professional Engineer for migration to Australia if you are not recognised as a Professional Engineer in your own country."

I am currently working as engineer abroad kaya I will be assessed without PRC license.
Thanks to GOD!

btarroja213 · July 2013

Ito po reply ng EA regarding expedited assesment:

I confirm we offer no automatic accelerated assessment by the payment of an extra fee.

But we can consider cases where established to be genuinely urgent ... but your case will be assessed in good time - should be with an assessor in about 8 weeks.

So I have to say that for the moment we would not consider your case to be sufficiently urgent to warrant bypassing others in the queue who have submitted in a more timely fashion.

ceriel · July 2013

I have called EA and they advised me to write a letter regarding my case and include it with my application. Such case will be entertained.

Maraming salamat po...mukhang makakahabol ako.
