    @Betchay welcome to the forum
    it is not necessary at all times but it may be required by the skills assessing body, minimum requirement ng skillselect is 6 for all modules...

    now, it would be better if you can provide more info like the job code you selected and your points status, etc.....

    so looking at the category you will know how many years ang kukunin nila from your working experience. they will state it anyway on your assessment results.

    mga bossing question lang...yung skills assessment ba para sa subclass 189

    kasi iapply ko sa EOI is civil engineering draftsperson pero ang degree ko is architecture tama ba to? sa AACA parin ba ako mag skills assessment hindi sa civil engineering?

    if ever ba na ilagay ko as both architects by profession sa AACA marerecognize kaya yung qualifications ko?...maraming salamat...

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    Hi @gmad06,

    Since you're on the topic of schools, what does the section number mean? I just referred to the list and found that my school is section 1. How does it play into your application?

    Hope you can help me understand this.

    Thanks!

    Hi @quesoboy,

    The Australian government has Country Education Profiles where they basically, well, 'profile' (lol) or check an educational qualification acquired outside of Australia and determine its equivalent qualification in the Australian Qualification Framework based on a number of factors (quality of education, etc). For example, a bachelor degree obtained in the Philippines may not necessarily be considered as equivalent to a bachelor degree in Australia. That's where the sectioning of schools comes in. Schools in section 1 are considered the 'best' in terms of the quality of education, if you will, so if you obtain a bachelor degree in a Section 1 school, your qualification will normally be considered as a bachelor degree equivalent in Australian standards (AQF). If you are a Section 2 bachelor degree graduate, it's quite possible that your bachelor degree will only be considered a 'certificate', or less than a bachelor degree, or your 5-year bachelor degree will only be equivalent to a 4-year bachelor degree in Australia. Section 3 are usually up-and-coming or lesser-known schools who have yet to establish that they provide high quality education, I suppose.

    Parang sa pera, since mataas ang value ng currency nila, yung medyo malaking halaga sa atin, is barya lang pagdating sa kanila. Sorry about the dumb analogy, but you get the comparison. Haha. :)

    Now where does it play in our application? In points based general skilled migration assessments, you get points based on your qualification (20 for doctorate, 15 for bachelors/masters, 10 for Australian diploma equivalent). So if you have a bachelor degree from a Philippine college/uni, you will assume that you can claim 15 points. However, as explained (loosely) above, this may not always be the case, as it is possible that your bachelor degree may be only equivalent to an Australian diploma, in which case, you are only going to get 10 points.

    Moreover, it may also be a factor for when you get your skills/work experience assessed by the relevant assessing body. For example:
    - IT professional 1 has a 4-year bachelor degree in IT from a section 1 school, and has 5 years experience
    - IT professional 2 has a 4-year bachelor degree in IT from a section 3 school and has 5 years experience

    Pwedeng sabihin ni assessing body (ACS) na ITP1 can claim for 5 years of work experience, pero si ITP2 can only claim 3 years of work experience (I guess parang sinasabi nila yung other 2 years na work experience ni ITP2 is considered as years in school pa). In other words, ITP1's 4-year degree is equivalent to ITP2's 4-year degree PLUS 2 years of work experience, since mas mataas ang quality of education ng school ni ITP1.

    Sorry, nagmamarunong lang. =))

    @quesoboy sorry for the late reply, but I guess everything has been said by @appledeuce and I fully support her opinion above. Sa madaling salita, if you refer to the profile of your school based on OZ standards, you will be able to foresee what is most likely your outcome for skills and edu assessment. This affects your years of experience and the band you should aim for IELTS as well.

    There is a separate thread for accounting migrants somewhere in this forum but to indulge you with your first question; yes, pwedend pwede ka mag-apply kahit you are not a CPA in the Philippines. Useless naman ang CPA Philippines designation dito sa Australia so they are looking lang at what you have learned in school with respect to accountancy...

    Hi.just want to ask what would be the real requirement for ielts on a slilled migrant based on points system? I mean,they are requiring 7.0 on all band but my assessing body only requires 7.0 on overall (average band). Unfortunately i only got 5.5 on listening,does it mean i cant use my ielts report in points system though i can use it iny assessing body?do i need to retake it?

    ^ You need no band score lower than 6.0 to apply in 189 & 190 visas. But you will only get points if you have bands 7.0 and above. That means 10 points for no band score lower than 7.0 and 20 points for no band score lower than 8.0.

    Hi. My husband (software engineer) and I recently took the IELTS exam last May 30. He got an overall score of 6.5 (6.5 sya sa lahat ng exam) so that means he will be 0 pag dating sa online assessment. Tama po ba? Kase pag 7 up lang magkakaroon ng points. I got an overall score of 8. How much ang mabibigay na points pag ganun? Yung husband ko ang principal applicant.

    i am a graphic & web designer. my scores are: L 9.0, R 8.0, W 7.0, S 7.5. Yun din inisip baka ako nalang ang magprincipal pero ung profession ko wala sa SOL pero nandun sya sa CSOL. which means i need to be nominated by territory o kya employer sponsored. Eh ang plan kase namin when we go there is si hubby ang mag work while i stay home to watch the kids.
