Hello,

Please when evaluating with Vetasses do i need to send my fist degree transcript as i have an MBA related to my work experience while my first degree is on another field.

I am not that conversant with VETASSES but I think if you want to claim experience from after your first degree you need to include it although they might deduct some years. Wait for VETASSES folks.

VETASSES folks kindly help.

Hello house. Kindly help assess my eligibility for Agricultural scientist/consultant.
I have Bsc/PGD/Msc of Food Science and Technology from OAU.
About 6 years experience as a Technical Advisor/consultant to a World Bank FADAMA I and II project. Actually my dad was selected among the providers then. I did similar tasks as described in the job description of an Agricultural scientist/consultant providing advises to the farmers etc.
I am just being skeptical due to my Academic background not closely related to Agric.

Has anyone gotten positive assessment without having to study Agricultural related studies?

@koleefem05 could you help answer? Thank you.

Oga bellong please can you shed more light on this ''To claim partner's point, your spouse's occupation must be on the same list as the occupation you choose''

If your chosen occupation is on MLTSSL, your spouse's occupation must be there too and similarly for STSOL.

Click here for the combined list.

There are some other conditions to be met apart from being on the same list.

Hi guys, I have read the whole of this thread, but I still have lots of question s.
Here is a breakdown of my scores

Age -30
Education- 15
Ielts - 20
Total 65

I want to nominate 272313 (organisational psychology) as I have a bsc Psych and msc Industrial and organisational psychology).

My husband has a bsc in psych but he has been working as an admin officer for more than 5 yrs, I don't know what to nominate him for so that I can claim 5 points.

Now I need to figure out how to claim points for my experience; I worked in a department of psychology for 1yr during Nysc, I also worked in HR for 2 yrs (the job roles can be tweaked as they are closely related)

I also have another 2 yrs experience in my father in-law's company, but the company doesn't really have a physical structure (I do basic admin/ hr work though) and he pays me monthly.

@bellong and others kindly access my situation so I can figure out how to proceed.

P.S I checked this nomination thing but I don't understand how it works or what it really entails.

Your assessing body is APS, click here for the process.

Which school and the duration of your husband's course, maybe he can also assess as a psychologist. Check the APS requirements. Or what does he do as an admin officer maybe another job could be proposed.

You need to satisfy some requirements for you to claim experience as a psychologist, click here for the minimum requirement.

If you can get the spousal point, I think you should be fine with 70 points as psychologist are not that competitive.

Best of luck.

Zany.

Good Evening my people, please I need some clarification about my documents that I intend to submit for vetasses assessment.
Firstly, the company where I am currently working does not pay to our bank account, they only pay by cash, which makes getting bank statement impossible for me. However, I have approached the Account manager and she promised to provide me with salary slip(s), which looks fine. But my main issue is getting tax clearance which I don't have. I would like to know if I can submit my application for Vetasses assessment without Tax clearance.

Please help a sister

Check the Vetasses requirements, if tax clearance is one of them, it is advisable you get one.

Does Professional Certification PMP add any point for someone assessing for Telecommunications Engineering.

I have 3 yrs experience in telecom , Elect Elect Eng,

It won't add any point. Just write a watertight CDR and you will be fine.

I also have a national diploma with same course and I did my industrial attachment with a manufacturing company will dis count for one year working experience. And will my diploma gain points for ma along with my B.eng.
My service year was also with a world class company though I only joined dem for 6 months to d end of my service year. I also had 6 months industrial attachment with a oil company during my university days.

DIPLOMA:
TOTAL : 50 POINTS
Pls is my calculation right and what do I need apart from English tests. And which level can I apply for.
Thanks

Its 3-5 years experience that will give you 5points.

You need to get 20points from English to stand a chance.

You can consider applying for 190 and 489 visa as well.

Check anzscosearch.com to see the states and regions nominating your occupation.

Good evening everyone and happy new year.

I have a challange with tax certificate. Who knows how I can get my tax clearance certificate from lagos state government, I don't have them from 2013 and I have been paying and my pay slips are available for a proof. I told my company and they said next quarter they will start applying for it. That will be too far for me.

I would suggest you visit the tax office yourself. Talk to them nicely, they should be able to issue you one since your company has been paying.

donpaulo44:
Hello Everyone, please i want to start my journey with writing IELTS. Is it the academic module or general test that is acceptable?

Which one should I book please.

Both are acceptable. Just choose either that you know will give you maximum point.

Zany.

Bamz:
Equal to or greater than 5 years and less than 8 years of experience gives 10 points.

vikmeek,

You will need work experience points. I don't know if less than five years experience will fetch any points with EA. If it doesn't, you MUST get a 20 in English.

He has already assessed his experience with EA (IT Officer = 2yrs and 5 months; Snr. IT Officerr = 3yrs and 11 Months) which equals 6yrs 4 months that gave him the 10 points for experience.

What I was saying is that he could have gotten 15points for experience if he had gone with TRA as he has over 8 years experience.

QUESTION: Please when am I expecting CO contact PR visa grant based on current trends for Nigerians applying from offshore?
Please help

The official processing time as at now is between 8 - 11 months.

However, we have seen cases of just 40days as well as almost 2 years.

Awaiting grant is a true test of one's patience.

You may or may not be contacted by CO.

So relax and wait. It could be sooner or later.

Hmmm. As it is, can you get at least 75points even if you have positive assessment?

ET is highly competitive. I would suggest you explore the student route too.

Casumugha:
Pls @bellong
Can someone with engineering technologist with 5 years work experience, re-apply for electrical engineer?? And would my work experience be reduced.
I have B. Eng in electrical/electronics engineering
And would reassessing cancel the engineering technologist assessment??

You were initially given a technologist because your CDR to them was not top notch. If you can write a convincing CDR you can be assessed as an electrical engineer.

Reducing your experience depends on the fit for purpose of the experience.

You can have more than one assessment, it is left for you to decide which to use.

Zany.
