Eto po kase nabasa ko sa guidelines before submitting an online application:
"Only upload the tertiary qualifications and employment documentation with your online application. Unnecessary documents like Resumes, High School Certificates or Self-Written Statutory Declarations will not be assessed"
May naka-experience na ba dito na hindi nakapag attach ng CV under sa personal details? Mag eemail kaya saken yung ACS for not having a CV attached? Nasubmit ko na kase kanina lang yung application ko without CV. So stage 1 status na.

@buyanyan wala naman nakalagay na kailangan mag send ng CV or Resume sa Skills-Assessment-Guidelines-for-Applicants. Hindi rin kami nag send ng CV. Wala din sa website ng ACS na kailangan na ng CV.
Required Documents 1. Birth Certificate or Passport – Applicant details page only, not full passport 2. Degree or Award Certificate Title of Degree or Award Name of University or Awarding Institution Date the Degree or Award was completed – the qualification will be assessed as NOT suitable if there is no documented evidence that the degree has been completed and awarded. 3. Degree or Award Transcript Unit or Subject Names and Grades or Marks Achieved 4. Employment References 5. If you apply for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) application, you will need to submit an ACS Project Report Form
Sabi nga sa guidelines:
"Only upload the tertiary qualifications and employment documentation with your online application. Unnecessary documents like Resumes, High School Certificates or Self-Written Statutory Declarations will not be assessed"
So hindi na po talaga kailangan ng CV.

@buyanyan you're welcome anytime. tulad sayo, im very lucky to find this forum.
@Abraham congrats! hopefully susunod na rin sa akin next week. hehe
Ako, I included CV since may option to upload it under personal details. Hindi naman siguro ilalagay itong option na ito kung no need to upload.
"Only upload the tertiary qualifications and employment documentation with your online application. Unnecessary documents like Resumes, High School Certificates or Self-Written Statutory Declarations will not be assessed"
I still uploaded my CV since its not included on the statement above and I believe there's a difference between a resume and a CV (correct me if Im wrong na lang)
Lets see na lang mga mate how it goes but mine got positive results naman.

Hi guys mine moved to stage 3 kahapon. Humihingi ng statutory declaration sa work reference ko. Yung detailed responsibility kasi walang letterhead. Pero nagsubmit din ako ng COE from my previous and current company. Yun nga lang ang nakalagay lang yung title and tenure.
Anyone experienced the same?

"Only upload the tertiary qualifications and employment documentation with your online application. Unnecessary documents like Resumes, High School Certificates or Self-Written Statutory Declarations will not be assessed"
May naka-experience na ba dito na hindi nakapag attach ng CV under sa personal details? Mag eemail kaya saken yung ACS for not having a CV attached? Nasubmit ko na kase kanina lang yung application ko without CV. So stage 1 status na.

Required Documents
1. Birth Certificate or Passport – Applicant details page only, not full passport
2. Degree or Award Certificate
Title of Degree or Award
Name of University or Awarding Institution
Date the Degree or Award was completed – the qualification will be assessed as NOT suitable if
there is no documented evidence that the degree has been completed and awarded.
3. Degree or Award Transcript
Unit or Subject Names and Grades or Marks Achieved
4. Employment References
5. If you apply for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) application, you will need to
submit an ACS Project Report Form
Sabi nga sa guidelines:
"Only upload the tertiary qualifications and employment documentation with your online application. Unnecessary documents like Resumes, High School Certificates or Self-Written Statutory Declarations will not be assessed"
So hindi na po talaga kailangan ng CV.
