Apologies for not being clear.

The experience is for 3 years after MSC. I have all the documents listed on the vetessass site for self employment. Contracts, tax clearances, bank statements, lawyer's statements, incorporation docs, everything.

Thanks for your patience

Your response did not address my question. I would need the years to be able to give an informed decision.

3 years of self employment----was it after MSc or BSc because Vetassess will still deduct at least 1 year which means your experience point is zero.

Which documents are you uploading to prove the self employment?

Phd was awarded in 2019. For Vetassess assessment, you must have at least 1 year post qualification experience else the assessment will be negative. So if you submit the Phd awarded in 2019, that's means you don't have 1 year post qualification experience to be eligible for assessment in the first place..

You can't use lecturing role to apply as a CPM; fortunately, you also have additional option to assess as a University lecturer if you have the funds (still zero point for experience after deduction of 1 year by Vetassess).

Thanks for the clarification. Point noted. I plan to claim 3 years of self employment (as that's what I have extensive documentation to prove).

May I ask why I should forgo the PHD, I'm not contesting your advice, just trying to understand it more.

I forgot to add that I am also a lecturer at a Federal university here in Nigeria. Been lecturing for almost 2yrs though.

PhD is out of it. You can include that when lodging EOI but must not be stated in your application to Vetassess.

How many years of employment are you claiming or better still, when did you start working? this is to confirm the particular degree to be submitted to Vetassess to avoid losing employment points.

BSc 2008 Nigerian degree
MSC 2011 Uk degree
PhD 2019 UK degree

Can you list the years you were awarded each of the degrees?

Good morning,

Thank you for all the information. I have been reading through from Part 1 and I have found it very helpful. There's just a little clarification that I am looking for.

I have a B.Eng in Civil Engineering, a M.SC in Project Mgt (specialization in Construction) and a PHD in Construction Management and Economics. I recently began the Australian PR process and I am about to pay for the Vetessass evaluation. What I need to confirm is this: do i need to forward transcripts of all my credentials or just the PHD?

Thanks a lot.
