Thanks for the advice. i already have IELTS result though its not so good, going for a remark on writting L-8,R-9, W-6.5, S-7. Hoping i get a positive response. with 10 points in English, i will be on 70 points. i will still give PTE a try but that would be after i see the new skill list in July.

wapu:


Will having the assessment now and while in the pool skill select awards you extra 5points for experience come November not something to consider?

But if you are comfortable waiting till Nov, that's fine.

I'll advice you use this period of waiting to get 20pts in English.

I think i will wait for DHA, that's a valid point. THANKS

I totally agree with Wapu on this. Carry on with your assessment which can take months while November is about 5month away. If your still in the same employment by then, nothing changes, the skill select system recognises your work anniversary automatically and awards your point accordingly.

You might only just decide to wait till July to be sure of what DHA have in stock for skilled migrants and occupation updates.

Best wishes

[Hello , if you find help with your CdR kindly let me know who helped you so i can approach the person. My husband just wrote his CDR but we need someone to help us check it outo if it's nice enough to be submitted to EA for telecommunicationa engineer quote author=Idiebube110 post=68040268]Hi everyone, many thanks to Chief Bellong and all our elders here for the constant helps and support, I appreciate you all a whole lot.

Please I need help in writing my career episodes for my EA assessment. I studied Electrical and Electronics Eng'g and I intend assessing without work experience (although I've got 5 years experience), as I've been doing private electrical designs and inverter installations without employment/tax documents. Please do I fill Electrical Engineer as my engineering occupation or Engineering Technologist? I'd really appreciate any assistance with the career episodes format from anyone, especially my fellow Electrical Engineers.

Thank you!

Hello guys. Finally gone through the whole thread from page 0. Una too much. The level of cooperation here is staggering. Special kudos to guys like Bellong & Alphadoor with the patience of saints. Always willing to advice or give a pointer. I'm into Logistics (freight forwarding and transportation) though l read Dramatic Arts in University. The eligible skill occupation closest to mine is Supply and Distribution Manager. Please has anyone here done assessment with AIM so l can know what to expect? Majority of what l see here is VETASSES and EA. Cheers.

Hi All,
I have logged EOI on the portal but my total scores 55, my ielts is actaully the issue LRWS 7,6.5,6.5,7.5. Please is there any other option i can explore?
Please i need your advise urgently.

Good evening everyone . I am new to this thread and will appreciate all the help I can get. I have gone through page 0 and read the relevant information. My question is that I have a bsc in Accounting but no professional qualification like ACCA or Ican or masters . I have worked in operations in the bank for 11 years now. Can my occupation and skill be assessed as a general accountant ?

I think you should give IELTS another shot (or PTE). Give it all you've got, winners don't quit!

I know someone that assessed as a Supply and Distributor Manager, and got a positive assessment. Do you have Up to three managers reporting to you? If Yes, then you can go ahead with the assessment.

Nice, nice. Thanks for the feedback.

I filled hardware technician 313111 and in my SA application I also filled sane.
My supporting documents were my letters from both companies where I worked,skilled assessment outcome,personal statement
Yes the message is from SA

Hi stepo707,

How's it going? We met on the PTE section. Glad to know you're making some headway on your application. I reckon our job roles will be very similar since you do IT support.

Please, I need to make some clarifications.

How many points did you garner assessing with TRA?

Checking suitable places for HW Technician, why did you opt for SA? NT & TAS were available options.

There's a likelihood that I will assess with TRA and I'm contemplating ICT Support Technician nec, with just NT open to applications but it seems that they require an employment offer.

PS. I think I may also be able to tailor my job roles to suit any job within the 3131 Unit Group though. ICT Customer Support Officer looks good right now for SA.

Alphadoor, please I need your advice here too. I hope you remember me, the Systems Engr guy (torn between assessing for EA or ACS). Seems there's so much competition for these bodies and the points requirement keep increasing. I have 10 points for English, and seriously considering 489. I will rewrite my English exam much later after I initiate my assessment process.

I know for a medical doctor you will have to write AMC exams but I have read from previous post that one can assess with other occupation like primary health manager. Just want to know if there are people who have done it and got a positive outcome so they can help out. Thanks

55points won't qualify you for 189 visa, even if it does you don't stand a chance of invite in the nearest future as 70pointers are the hopefuls for now.


What's your nominated occupation? You can retake the IELTS or try PTE, you can also explore state nomination of your occupation permits.

I hope your course is a five year program?

Provided you are able to supply evidence of being paid, you can use the nysc year.

I am not sure how their portal works now. You should be able to delete the document you uploaded wrongly. If you can't, send an email to vetasses to explain. It will be done for you to upload the correct one.

Only Engineers Australia requires a CDR and career episodes I think. ACS only need you to provide convincing reference letter or if you want to go through RPL route.

I can't delete it cos the moment i mistakenly submitted they sent me a mail.

Hi fellow Quantity Surveyor. Please email me on eronmoselejustus@gmail.com lets connect. Howfar have you done with the Australian PR?

Wow..nice seeing a Quantity Surveyor here. How far have You gone? Just got my IELTS result: 8,9,7,8 ..making 8 overall band score so i couldn't meet my target of 20 points for English. This your AIQS experience just confirmed my fears. Please email me, let us get to connect. Based in Abuja.schooled at ABU..
eronmoselejustus@gmail.com
Cheers.

qstomiwa:
Around May last year, I had plans of migrating to Australia/ Canada, At a point I got stuck in choosing between the two countries, I know moving to Australia as a QS is a very good choice and agreed the choice will be based on my IELTS result that if I can have 8 in LRSW modules in IELTS, I will choose Australia and anything less will be Canada. I did my first English test IELTS on 13th of May 2017 and I had L8 R8 W7 S6.5. I was weak as 7 in speaking would make me kick-start the Canadian journey and I read about PTE and I registered for PTE on 7th June 2017 (I lost my dad on the same day). I pushed for my skills assessment with Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors and writing PTE at the same time so as to crash the waiting time after getting an outcome from AIQS. I paid 715 AUD for skills assessment and it came out negative though am aware AIQS is very strict in their assessment.
My BTech (hons) degree in Quantity Surveying from FUTA was not recognised by the Assessor, though my UK MSc was recognised. The Comments made by the Assessor are as follows:
- The degree is not equivalent to Quantity Surveying/Construction Management and Economics degree.
- The transcripts list only a small proportion of subjects that may directly relate to Quantity Surveying.

My skilled employment was also not recognised. Comments made by the Assessor are as follows:
- Not recognised experience based on submission from a member of an Institute which is not recognised by the AIQS
The Overall comments made by the Assessor are as follows:
• The Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors is not recognized by the AIQS and the current referee is not listed as a member of the country of residence Institute.
• Recommend post graduate study and experience under a supervisor defined by the policy.

I submitted an appeal, paid 440 AUD and submit new references and a letter from my HOD showing my BTech is equivalent to Australian Quantity Surveying/Construction Management and Economics degree and a matrix showing some courses in my transcripts and its equivalence in Australian varsities offering Quantity Surveying/Construction Management and Economics degree. The appeal came out negative though the BTech was later recognised but one of the skilled employment was not recognised and the general comment of the assessor was “The applicant needs an additional 8 months of skilled employment under the supervision of a person who has a Quantity Surveying qualification that is recognised under the SMA policy”

Waiting for 8 months will be like hell so I get a new ref letter and I fired back instantly paying another 715 AUD, and almost two months I called AIQS twice and I was told my Assessor has not replied their mail so I had to write them officially and called after sending the mail around 5.40 am Nigerian time and the lady told me am just typing your report now and you will get it shortly. I almost fainted and could not do anything and about 3O minutes later I got their message and I opened it and got a SUITABLE outcome, I felt I just got my 189 grant. @Tee79 has been very nice to me she has given a lot of valuable advice in this assessment journey, and @Spyroxy1 has given a lot of ideas in tackling PTE, he is very approachable and helpful, his ideas, advice and mock test kits are very useful.

This PR process is not in any way cheap oh, On Assessment alone, I have spent roughly 1900 Australian Dollars, I have written 1 IELTS and PTE 5 times and I have faith am going to ace it if folks here can ace it at several attempts, am going for the 6th PTE soon. I also spent money on ECA (for Canada) and courier services. The race for 20 points in PTE begins in earnest, might write IELTS too. I am sure I will ace it one day.
Considering Subclass 190 visa in New South Wales with 55 points + their 5 points, I hope to get nominated early.

My PTE timeline is as follows:
L R S W
1st PTE - 7 Jun 2017 71 72 51 72
2nd PTE – 18 Oct 2017 76 73 61 90
3rd PTE- 23 Oct 2017 74 73 72 71
4th PTE – 31 Oct 2017 75 67 60 78
5th PTE – 1 May 2018 72 66 68 75

There is no substitute for PATIENCE, CONFIDENCE, SMARTNESS and FAITH in this journey, if I can get it, you can get it, don’t be tired and discouraged.
