Sure. For engineers assessing with EA only, you can assess just your qualification without experience as long as you can write a water-tight CDR.

You can even start now without completing the NYSC.

What does your husband do in the rescue and disaster management?

Based on the information you provided, you are in the better position as the principal applicant. The body assessing Teachers are not keen on paid experience for positive assessment, only that you will not get any points for experience if you cannot proof that you were paid. As long as there is teaching practice in your curriculum, you should get a positive assessment without experience points.

Notwithstanding, you should still be able to get minimum of 65 points and more for the visa 491.

Go to the assessing authority's website for further information.

Thank you, sir. How do I deal about the pay slip and tax remit as indicated above?

Nenyeroz1:


Sir Bellong thanks so much for your help! AITSL is the assessing body, I'm heading to their website immediately!
Also, can I apply for visa 491 with the competent English (6.5) result that I have or should I still write to get higher score?
May God bless you sir.

tunlex01:


You can apply if your other points meet the minimum requirement for ITA cos your current English score is z

As it is, AITSL requires IELTS Academic 8877 for a positive assessment.

bellong:


I didn't put a caveat that getting a minimum of 8 in each band is critical to getting nomination and invitation.

You need to retake the English test.

tunlex01:

Yes. Is there any other option?
Hope you are aware of the new changes to their requirements

tunlex01:


You don't need payslip or tax clearance to assess with EA. You only need Competent English from IELTS/PTE to begin your assessment since you do not have experience as an Engineer.

You don't need experience assessment as an engineer. You can write the CDR from your undergraduate thesis and industrial attachment to get a qualification assessment which can be used to get ITA.

No I am not aware ooo.

crowniran:


Thank you very much. What is the minimum score for the IETLS? Besides, that means I shouldn't put my experience as an NYSC intern in my cv? If No, how do I account for the break on my CV.

You need to pass the professional exam before you can nominate mls. If you decide to go with just mlt, you will need a state sponsorship .

bellong:
@Theokleia,

What is the occupation your husband intends to nominate? I am not sure if there is any occupation for a petroleum cargo inspector on the list. The other alternative is to nominate environmental engineering if it is related to what he does.

Going by your information, you will likely be the principal applicant. You don't need experience for a positive assessment as an engineer. You can write the CDR from your undergraduate thesis and industrial attachment.

Theokleia:


Oh I think we’ll pick that instead, but for the principal applicant, I felt he should be the PA cos he’ll fetch us extra 15 points from his work experience compared to my uncoordinated work experiences and from the calculator, there was no extra point for masters and my age only fetched 5 extra points. Or am I wrong?

bellong:
@Ajayidebo,

I hope you have not paid for the assessment? Prior to assessment, it is not enough to check the occupation list, you also have to check if the occupation is sponsored by any state if it is not on 189 list.
I don't think there is any state sponsoring insurance agent. Doing the assessment without a sponsoring state will likely be an exercise in futility.

What is your own occupation?

@bellong, please i need your advise on this issue. I was contacted by my EA assesor to support my NYSC experience with reference letter and tax certificate which i dont have. I submitted statement of account, discharge certificate and posting letter (photocopy). My NYSC experience is a relevant engineering experience and i want to include it so that i can claim 8 years. Please kindly advise as this is my second time of applying for EA assessment and I intentionally delay this application to this moment hoping that I will include NYSC in order to maximize my point.

bellong:


The NYSC experience is relevant but doesn't mean you are paid at the appropriate professional level. It is either you pay the tax incurred for the one year at your state's internal revenue or remove the experience. If the assessor will accept that your tax was deducted from source prior to being paid, you can give that excuse.

I can't think of any other way around it.

bellong:


Did you read the comment in the screenshot you provided?

Goodluck bro.

ashaju33:
@bellong thanks. How about telling the CO that i was exempted from tax during NYSC period. Does this sound tenable?

bellong:
@ajayidebo,

The professional qualification will not add any point. Your HND and BSc are enough.

bellong:


I do know that hundreds of Nigerians have been assessed by EA which means the assessor may likely know what the NYSC year is. If you have any concrete evidence or reason why you are exempted, you can say it.

arasola2000:
Good morning all.

I'm new to this thread. I have done some research but need some clarity:

- Do i need to pay for the assessing body to assess my skill? YES - YOU WILL PAY A FEE FOR ASSESSMENT.

- Do i submit the EOI before the assessing body assesses my skill? NO- YOU WILL NEED THE ASSESSMENT DETAILS TO COMPLETE YOUR EOI

Thank you
