Yes, all UK qualifications are exempted.

Ok Thanks

I have a UK proffessional qualifications in procurement. Will my qualification be exempted?

Esty4eva:
@ Jetspeed please what year were you assessed and did they contact your company and referee

2015. None was contacted.

KIKIADE:
Sir,
I am still not clear with your response, If I do the test again and get 10 points, it is not reasonable to go for subclass 190 again. i will rather opt for 189,making 190 useless.

You can only go for 189 if your occupation is listed.

uzziii:
Thanks for your reply. Please i want to find out if any person with only a nigerian 1st and may be 2nd degree has gotten a positive assessment. As my husband and i have only nigerian degrees in Architecture and most people in this forum that has got a positve assessment all have foreign degrees attached to their nigerian degree.
Thanks for your response.

I had my 1st and 2nd degree in Nigeria and was assessed positively by vetassess. Please go ahead with your assessment.

tunai:
I paid 36k, took my exam yesterday.

@ tunai. Can i pay now and take the exams later in the month

bellong:
^^^^^ Yes, you can send a pm.

Ok. Thanks.

Just sent you one.

bellong:
@Jetspeed,

Why didn't you apply since December 2014 you got the positive assessment?

I don't think you need a point test advice if you are still working with the same company when you had the positive assessment.

Not too sure, I think the assessment span was reduced to two years which means you have till December 2016 for the assessment to be valid.

For your wife, considering the unpredictability of VETASSES, if she can get points from other areas, she can add the qualifications, if not you have to take the risk.

Why go through the stress for your wife when you have a positive assessment?

Thank you Bellong. I actually had the positive outcome in May 2015 but i applied in Dec2014. Yes iam still in the same company and same position. Vetassess actually started full skill assessment in January 2015. No point was mentioned on my work experience even though i had 8yrs work experience post my MBA. Do i just ignore the point test advice and apply for my EOI and allowed DIBP to calculate my work experience?

I need the 5point from her to boost my overall point. Not too sure if DIBP will give me full point for my work experience.

This is my position as of now


Age-15point

Education MBA-15point

Work experience -16yrs now, but 8yrs post MBA-Not too sure what the point will be after DIBP assessment

English test- preparing to write next month.

Pls can i send you a PM. I have some document i want you to review for me.

Teejah80:
Guru's in the house that have done thier assessment with Vettassess, please,what and what do you submit to. Vettassess as Evidence. Of paid employment, cos I submitted 3 months government payslip since march and they just mailed me that the evidence of paid employment is insufficient. @tunai and everyother person in the house who had assessed with vettasses what did you submitted. Urgent response will be highly appricated.

Employment letter, Evidence of tax payment, promotion letter, salary review letter if any etc.


Hope that helps

@ Bellong et al. Pls i need your advice. My spouse vetassess skilled assessment is about to be submitted. But iam skeptical in adding her Maters in Personnel Psychology (MPP) she had in 2014.

She is nominating Customer Service Manager and she had other qualifications HND Estate Management 2000 and MBA in 2003. She already had over 12years post MBA experience as a CSM.

Since vetassess start counting work experience from the last qualification obtained, they might start counting from the year she had her MPP instead of counting from her MBA 2003.

Should i add her MPP to the online application or i should ignore it and only add her HND and MBA?

Kindly advice.

Hello House,

Can someone who has applied for point test advice -( point for work experience) walk me through the process of application. I have read through the vetassess site and everything seems confusing. Is it only paper base application or i can apply online? I already had a positive assessment from vetassess in December 2014. Thanks

Couldn't pay online with a GTB card, so I purchased a voucher from the centre. Paid into the centre's account and got the voucher code sent to me.



I paid NGN 36,000 when I registered in February.

OK Thanks

Spoke with my normal Nigerian accent oo. Exam venue was UKEAS Opebi- if it would help; the setup was quite ok with minimal noise distractions.[/quote]How much did you pay for the exams

chuckdee13:
In addition to what bellong has said,try going to ur bank to raise ur limit. Maybe the whole cbn policy us messing with it too.

Eventually got through with the processing. Paid =N=186,000 equivalent for full assessment (AUD810).

Thanks all

bellong:
As at last week, GTB charged 227 for $1AUD. Yes, you have insufficient funds by their rate.

Thanks Bellong. Will make it up and process.

Has anybody paid for vetassess full assessment recently? Iam trying to process 810AUD fore my spouse using my GT Mastercard balance of =N=170,000 but it keeps telling me insufficient fund.

Please provide truthful information at all times. The penalty is nothing if you tell them about your Nova Scotia application.

[quote author=beyunce post=45585282]SINP has updated the application guide and introduced new occupations in demand. Some NOCS were also removed from the demand list. The new list is very short .This means, they might open for EE soon. So if your noc is on the list I suggest start gathering and upload your documents on OASIS.[/quote

Thanks for the info
