Finally, after what seems like an eternity I have gotten a positive assessment from ACS for ICT Business Analyst (ANZSCO 261111). A big thank you to Azy123 and Alphadoor for your help. God bless una!!

I got 20 points from my PTE done 2 weeks ago (after a battle with IELTS) so we are good to go. EOI submitted.

But as we all know in this process there is always one k-leg or the other so house please advice me: Since I went through the RPL route, ACS did not assess my degree, rather the assessed a professional qualification which I have as follows:

Your Certified Information Systems Auditor from Information Systems Audit and Control Association completed October 2014 has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Diploma with a Major in computing.

This gives me 10 points instead of 15. So I have 70 points with a break down below:

Age - 30
English - 20
Experience - 10
Education - 10

Let me inform the house that this ANZSCO code is very competitive and people with 75 points were not invited last round. Do you think I should get my degree assessed by VETASSESS? How long does it take on average? Or should I wait it out till number for this ANZSCO drops? (How long would that take?) Abi to do state nomination? I am just confused right now.

Hoping for ideas guys. Thanks.

Nice one, about the PTE exam. Please I will need some info from you. I have sent a PM. Thanks in advance.

If I may, the career episodes was it just a case of re-uploading or you had to rewrite them? Did you CO give u any reason for requesting a new upload? What was wrong with the first 2 episodes?

It was not a case of re-upload because the first two upload was bad. It something concerning my nominated occupation and the CE I wrote. And yes my CO gave me some reasons even if it was not legit to me. And about the scamscanner imprint, it has no effect. I used camscanner for mine too.

jayooh:
Thanks mate. So what was the turn around time for your assessment outcome?

I paid for fast track, my CDR was assigned to a case officer in 14 days. I was told to re-upload 2 career episodes which I did after 7 days or so, and after 5 days I got my outcome later.

jayooh:
Good day happy people, hope the weekend is going smoothly?
Please, is my CV format playing any significant role in the professional engineer assessment with EA?
NB: I'm not assessing employment.
Thought we had a CV sample/format on the front page of the thread but can't find any. I wanna submit my CDR ASAP

I don't think your CV format is important if you are not assessing for experience/employment. I did not change any format for my CV, same thing I have been using all these years. Write a convincing CDR that's all. I believed EA to be easy breezy.

omo1010:
Engineers in the house, please confirm if EA accepts scanned copies of academic transcripts for fast track assessment, as I didn't see postal address recommended for documents posting on the MSA booklet.

Thank u in anticipation of ur response.

Only scanned copies are required. You are good to go.

jayooh:
OK, that means employment doesn't qualify as services to the engineering profession?

Una deh burst my head oh, which kind workshop or seminar man wan deh go. Na only mechanic workshop I deh visit constantly o

You are making this CPD looks like a big deal. It's the least of worries in writing a CDR. though for mine I have attended countless seminars and presentations while in my masters program, I used those. But you can as well take any seminar or lectures you have heard about that relates to your field after graduation. Even personal studies, you can add that too. Having 5 of such is ok, you don't need a whole epistle. It's just one page. PMs are not going I would have sent my own CPD for you to use as a template.

jayooh:
Congrats, on what ground were the episodes rejected and what kinda task was it?

I can only say that in private, unfortunately I can't even reply PMs right now. I don't know if that is happening to others too.

omo1010:
Gentle men in the house, well done for good job you are doing.

Kindly advise me on this.
Just got my IELTS result L/R/W/S=6.5,6,7,7
I intend rewriting the test but can I use the result for EA assessment.

I'm 37 with beng & msc in mechanical engineering, and my work experience as an engineer is 8yrs+

Do I stand a chance for sc189, If I get higher ielts score Ie after EA assessment? Can I get higher point from Pte if EA is done with the assessment using ielts since that's what is acceptable.

What is the current cost of assessment, and the least possible time of the assessment. Thank u

Yes, you can use that result for EA assessment. The IELTS result I used for mine was almost same as yours. All you need is 6.0 and above in all task.

Just got a positive assessment from EA today. After submitting two fresh career episodes because two out of the first 3 were rejected. All Glory belongs to God. Thanks to @majiouk2002 for helping out for the payment and running my episodes for plagiarism. And to everyone who has added a thing or two Here, God bless you. English test next! Getting 20 points ���

Bnimz:
No vex, I only used the official "Road to IELTS" study materials during my IELTS preparations, so I don't really have any specific tips,.... All I remember be say, the questions can be tricky... Its very necessary to read the instructions, things like two words and a number, or not more than three words..... In addition, the obvious answer in the passage generally isn't the answer.. Its usually necessary to re-read it.

I don't think this response is very helpful... I'm sure someone else has something better to say... Cheers

Thanks, this is something to look at for...i appreciate.

God Bless

Congrats bro, I have begged for guidance to ace IELTS from you. No response till date. I'm having issues with the reading part of it, please can anybody give tips on how to ace it?

my issue here is the guarantors form, where do we see it to download?

i thought its the other way round

Yes, it's the other way round, 1USD = 1.26AUD

Important info to you guys using online plagiarism checkers.
.
Some of these online checkers save a copy of your document after the scans. This remains in a public database which EA do have access to. It means that it is possible that EA will run a scan on your work, and find high similarity, just because a plagiarism software has saved your work online. I advise you avoid it completely. Since you ve written the CDR in your own words, be confident that there is no issue of plagiarism. Using online checkers can cause more unnecessary issues.

Thank you very much sir, I was actually asking for a software and not online site, an offline software should be OK. But again like you said, it's already in our own words, we shouldn't fear for plagiarism.

Denny2017:
Hello Gurus, I ran a Plagiarism Check on one of career episodes and the result was 83% originality.When i checked the parts that were not original,i discovered it was some engineering formulas.‎Please will this cause any harm?

Please can experts in the house respond to my quires.

Please, I will need that plagiarism software, will send you a pm, Thanks.

praiseisgood:
Mine was delivered the next working day after the 13 days wait I.e. The 16th day after I took the exam.

Thanks for the response.

Please , for those that have taken their IELTS exams and were outside Lagos and Abuja. How long before your test report form was posted to your address ?.

mctowel01:
@ Michaelamo
Your info is correct.
Go ahead with mechanical engineer. The worst I believe you can get is Engineering technologist.
Let me chip in that as things stand, there is no difference in chances between Engineering technologist and Mechanical engineer. What your focus should be now is having significantly high points die to the high demand.

Thanks a million bro for your timely response.

Please somebody should help me with this, recently , because of the changes, the occupation I was suppose to nominate is now flagged.which is production or plant engineer, but checking I can see it's associated with Mechanical engineering , though both are flagged right now. But Victoria have removed Production and plant engineer from their nomination list. So I want to know if I can Nominate Mechanical. That means first being assessed as a mechanical engineer with EA as against Production Engineer that's my first degree. Please I want to know if I will have a positive assessment from EA.Honestly Production and Mechanical engineering are almost inseparable.

moscow30:
I am very grateful for your response Bellong!
I actually have a total of 60pts including the Victoria Nomination, but I feel, I should rewrite the English language to either get 10 or 20 pts just to be safe.,
I will submit the EOI today and forward the ref number to Victoria state.
Once again thank you for the explanation

how was it possible to get a state nomination from Victoria without the minimum requirement? i am pushed to call this favour, but sir @moacow30...i want to know how you went about the application.

Hey
