medical laboratory scientist exam

ten2six · May 2014

Every second and fourth monday of the month. Di bale, if you submitted the EOI, ma invite ka na rin sa susunod which is on the 26th I believe.

Hehe sana nga

Btw @ten2six anong visa inapply mo? Ako kasi 190 kaya lng closed na yata sa NSW. Pano ba pag 189, may quota ba yung mga states sa visas na ibibigay nila?

ten2six · May 2014

Ilan ba pts mo? I applied for 189. I got 65 pts. NSW state nomination is closed. Sa July na ulit sya mg oopen. If you have 60 or more points apply for 189. You don't need the state nomination dun.

Btw @ten2six anong visa inapply mo? Ako kasi 190 kaya lng closed na yata sa NSW. Pano ba pag 189, may quota ba yung mga states sa visas na ibibigay nila?

189 is independent skilled visa.. so you dont need state sponsorship..

tama is @ten2six, if you have 60pts already even without SS, then mag apply kana ng 189..

gene_borres · May 2014

Thnx im at 60. Actually inapplyan ko both , late ko nlng nakita na hindi n pla pwede sa 190.

Hello po... meron po ba ditong BS Public Health yung degree or may kilala na BS Public Health degree holder na nagregister sa AIMS?
Medical Technologist po ako for 8 years, pero BS Public Health grad po ako. May license po ako as MT sa Pinas and registered din po sa AMT. Gusto ko po sanang mag-apply sa AIMS.

ten2six · May 2014

^ You can try. Public Health is UP right? It's highly probable na ma certify ka. Nandun naman sa transcripts yung mga subjects mo and ilagay mo naman duties and responsibilities mo sa employment certificate. Also yung AMT mo ba is current? I sent my AMT and ASCP certificates pero inacknowledge lang nila is ASCP because yun lang current. Tagal ko na kase hindi ni renew yun AMT.

If I were you, I will apply it. Iba iba naman names ng course ng laboratory science kahit dito sa Aussie. They will look at your subjects and experience naman if it's the same.

gene_borres · May 2014

May question nga pala ako sa eoi. Nung inenter ko kasi yung ielts score ko parang automatic nacompute ung score ng language ability na 7. E sa rsult ko yung OBS ko is 7.5. Ndi kaya magkaproblem yun?

ten2six · May 2014

The lowest band score ang basis for claiming of points, not the OBS. So if no band lower than 7, thats 10 points. If no band lower than 8, that's 20 points.

gene_borres · May 2014

Ok ty @ten2six

gene_borres · May 2014

Got the invite! Thank God

Aly24 · May 2014

Congratulations!!

raspberry0707 · May 2014

Salamat @ten2six.. current yung sa AMT ko.. renewal ko this October 2014.. sa UP po yung BS Public Health ko. Susubukan ko po mag-apply. Sana ma-allow magsit in sa exam. Nabigyan po ako ng Med Lab Technician na registration sa New Zealand, so sana iconsider din ako sa Australia.

raspberry0707 · May 2014

Question lang po regarding sa subjects. @ten2six

An acceptable science degree should include FULL units (not part units) of the following subjects:
Human Anatomy
Human Physiology
Chemistry
Biochemistry
Immunology
General Microbiology
General Pathology
Human Molecular Biology

and should include at least two (2) of the following professional subjects:
clinical chemistry
haematology
medical microbiology
transfusion science (immunohaematology)
histopathology/diagnostic cytology

** Yung mga naka-bold po yung subjects na meron ako. Wala po ako nung Immunology at Human Molecular Biology. Baka po ma-grant lang ako ng hanggang Med Lab Technician. Goal ko po sana ay ma-invite mag-sit in sa exam for Med Lab Scientist. Sa tingin niyo po kumuha na lang kaya muna ako ng subjects na ito bago mag-apply?

Aly24 · May 2014

Pa-assess ka muna po ng skills mo sa AIMS then ung result, most probably med lab technician like me so kung gs2 maging scientist, need mag exam. Ung saken, kasabay na ng result ng skills assessment ung invite tos sit for the exam med lab scientist.

raspberry0707 · May 2014

Sige @bhelle_mt02.. sana makakuha din ako ng invitation to sit for the exam.

thanks for starting this thread.

Aly24 · May 2014

@raspberry0707 ur welcome! Katulad mo din ako nangangarap makarting oz ksma ng family ko soon. Hehe.. gaya nga nila @gene_borres at @ten2six kaya din nten un! Kaya ko inumpisahan etong thread na to kasi sa website ng AIMS prang napakahirap ng exam pero ng may mkilala ako tulad nila na nkapasa nmn, mas lalo lumakas loob ko mag take hehe...
Dreams do come true, In GOD's PERFECT TIME! Sympre put ur 101% effort in acheiving it.

raspberry0707 · May 2014

@bhelle_mt02 akala ko nung una mag-aaral pa tayo jan sa Oz. Kaya sa New Zealand ako nag-apply. Pero recently may nagsabi sa kin na kailangan lang ipasa yung exam ng AIMS.

Meron lang akong question regarding sa documents na isusubmit.

"How to Lodge your Application:
Send three (3) certified sets of documents: (one (1) originally certified set and two (2) duplicate photocopied sets)"

Kelangan ba lahat ng 3 copies ng document certified true copy. Or yung additional 2 copies ay photocopy nung unang certified true copy na document?

Salamat

Aly24 · May 2014

@raspberry0707 ung saken kasi pasa ka sa agency pero sa pagkakatanda ko, same lng nmn ung byad khit ilang copies ung ipapanotarized mo. Gets mo? Hehe.. dalhin lng ung originals tpos paphotocopy ng 3sets. Same lng un bayad.

Aly24 · May 2014

@raspberry0707 censya ha. Nagulo ko ba lalo ung isip mo?

raspberry0707 · May 2014

Thanks @bhelle_mt02.. sa Manila and dito sa Thailand kse per page yung bayad. Sa Manila 50 pesos lang per page, dito sa Thailand 1000 pesos per page. Kung isasama ko yung continuing education certificates, mejo malaki matitipid kung sa Manila ko ipapagawa. Siguro paguwi ko na lang ipapagawa sa Manila. Thanks.

ten2six · May 2014

Ako ginawa ko dahil per page nga ang bayad is pina certify yung 1 set of copy then photocopied it twice. Yun yung pinadala ko. May mas mura pa sa 50 per page. 35 per page natawad ko. Hahaha.

raspberry0707 · May 2014

Grabe ang lupit nung 35 pesos per page

parang nagpa-photocopy lang ng colored. Haha!! Ganon na lang siguro yung gagawin ko.

Pano pala yung mga certificates na nakuha online? May mga continuing education certs kse ako pero electronic yung certs. Sabi sa kin nung lawyer hindi sila makaka-certify true copy nang ganon. Wag ko na lang isama mga ganon?

svetlana · June 2014

@ten2six thanks for all the information sobrang helpful cya. pwede din ba magask ng help/assistance sa susunod na step na pwede ko gawin? I just got an email from AIMS and pinageexam ako in September. While waiting for the exam date ano pb dapat ang need ko iprocess pr makaapply din if possible under Independent Skilled. or need muna maipasa ko yung exam bago ako makamove into the next step? thank you if advance.

gene_borres · June 2014

@svetlana nagpaassess k n b sa aims? Yun kasi ang first step given na may ielts ka na. Then depende sa kanila kung mageexam k or not. Ndi kasi ako sure kung pwede exam agad without the assessment.

ten2six · June 2014

@svetlana

What you can do in the meantime is read about Skillselect. Or the threads in this forum. Madami ka matututunan. Kelangan ma compute mo na points mo para you will know. And kung ano kailangan na proof to prove the points you are claiming.

@gene_borres

AFAIK, lahat yata ng graduates from foreign countries are required to take the exams. I am not 100% sure pero kase sa mga courses lang sa OZ hindi pa rin lahat accredited. Some graduates of certain laboratory science courses in OZ are still not exempt from the examination.

janntdl · June 2014

@ten2six, hi po, ask lang po ko ng tips for exam last march 2014, b'coz i'm schedule to take this september 2014, sa Melbourne...anu anu po ang books na nireview nyo... thanks

raspberry0707 · June 2014

Bago po ako bumili ng reviewers and books, ask ko lang po kung sino sa mga nag-exam na ang gusto magbenta ng books and reviewers nila, kindly PM me po. Salamat.

paulo1022 · June 2014

hi! New member po and just wanna ask for an advise. Med tech po ako and currently working here sa US. alam naman po natin na hindi masyado maganda ekonomiya ng US ngayon at apiktado po ang pagkuha ng permanent residency visa. dahil sa retrogression, aabot po sa higit na limang taon ang hihintayin mo para magka-green card. Sa ngayon po ay kinio-consider ko ang pagkuha ng AIMS exam 9of course, after evaluation). Sa palagay niyo po, magandang hakbangin po ba ito? Salamat!
