My advice for you is to look at Liverpool with postcode 2170. Contact this agent (Starr Partners) http://www.starrpartners.com.au/ send them a message if they can be of help because according to the law, you need to view the accommodations first and apply before anyone can give you any house. Liverpool is like the city of migrants because as a new migrant, you want a place close to industries and also fairly cheap accommodations.

Thank you very much..

Hi SallyAUS can an assistant project manager (construction) with about one year experience assess with vetassess as well as norminate construction project manager occupation ?

HI, I am no expert, but my advice is that if you are still with the company and in that position, then that means as each month passes by your experience is growing hence you can apply for an assessment. But this tricky Vetassess will most definitely taken one year meaning that your positive outcome letter will have you written as experience-0 months.

then again what if they take more than a year means that you have no more months on offer e.g I have seen where people have 7 years experience and Vetassess returns the positive assessment back with 4 years 8 months experience. I hope you understand

Secondly I advice you read the requirements on the vetasses website to be sure that the requirements are still the same.

I guess before your role as assistant project manager you had other Project builder related roles( so more years of experience)

you could nominate project builder to get a positive outcome. However it has no state sponsorship 190 only skilled visa 189. so if you have more years working as a builder you may have more points... and because with the above it is 0 points only 15 points for education... with project builder if you have some years of experience you may get 5 points and above so that may help. plus 15 points for education ( check a point calculator)

But please make proper website checks as well to keep you updated as requirements are always changing.

Wow, You have just extricated me from the hook of Naija transcript. I would have been done with this assessment. My MSc was actually in Structural Design and Construction Management, and first degree, Civil Engineering (Building and Construction Major). I have the MSc diploma supplement and the certificate. It that what you submitted to vetassess? Did you submit organisational chart?

I submitted an organisational chart
2. company lettered headed paper with the roles held at the company signed off by the MD ( follow the break down Vetassess wants, your role/ job description held at your company should match the nominated occupation)-
3. Payslips

Yes submit the MSC diploma supplement +Transcript and certificate- Coloured copies (very clear please) are fine. However, I also went the extra mile and had mine certified by a notary public.

I am also nominating the same occupation. Have been waiting for FUTO to send my transcript to Vetassess since May 2017. Not sure whether they will accept only my UK MSc credentials without the underpinning first degree. How many years were you positively assessed? Sent you a PM.

Hi this is where GOD surprised me While I was waiting for my naija transcript to travel and reach vetasses. I had applied with what i had my Msc in Construction Project Management (UK) and it was more than enough. Apparently, with Vetasses A Masters degree in the Nominated occupation esp CPM or Project builder is more than enough...

for experience ideally you must have at least more than a year. because if eg you submit with 2 years experience vetasses will remove one year and your positive outcome year will be least a year some times even more... it can be positive outcome experience 10 months. I hope you understand

Kingbukaz:


Congrats bro, what occupation?

Hahaha I guess you missed the part where i said I cried-- I am a woman..

Occupation- Construction Project Manager

@ Sallyaud
Thanks for your information. I also want to ask if you included your academic certificate with your transcripts for skills assessment. Although I do have my academic certificate with me. Unfortunately, I was told that the university doesn't issue the certificate twice. What do I have to do die to this regard. Thanks for your time

what vetasses wants for the certificate is a certified copy of your uni certificate by your uni.. so what this means is that you will send a coloured scanned copy or submit a coloured copy to the office processing your transcript... I had my registrar's office certify my certificate and submitted it to the office processing my transcript for it to be added to the transcript envelope before posting to vetassess- ( i.e the address provided)

Deon2020:
Good day all peeps, Congratulations to SallyAUS. I will want to inform my university in Nigeria to send my academic transcript to Vetassess for assessment. Please, I kindly request the address the academic transcript will be sent.
Thanks for your time

Hi, my advice will always be to check the Vetasses website the information is on it... If I remember correctly it was to the head office at Melbourne. with Aussie stuff always check the website of the corresponding organisation to make sure you have the right information.

Ps. use a reliable courier service with tracking

Thank you to everyone that answered my questions there is no shame in asking questions where you do not understand it will save you a lot of time and make the process albeit stressful, a bit straight forward.

bellong:
For those sending PMs, please I urge and encourage you to ask your questions here. You stand a better chance of not being misled by me asking the questions here as there are able and experienced people on the thread to add their wealth of information.

Thank you.

Hi bellong, just a quick one if one is contacted by the CO for additional documents and these documents have been uploaded on the immi account,
and confirmed on the account also stating application is being processed. is there any need again to email the CO that the information requested for has been uploaded as well.

Try this watching this E2 language school on you tube. It helped me ace my PTE-A

to add to what metrecube said, I would advise that you assess construction project manager instead of project builder becos with construction project manager, you can apply for either d 189 n 190 subclasses, or even d regional but with project builder u r only restricted to visa 189! I am currently facing ds problem I initially got assessed as a project builder and put in my EOI for 190 but after the skilled list was revised, d occupation was removed from d state list, I now hv to reassess as a construction project manager as I only hv 55 points and I m relying on d state nomination

Thank you.. also I don't know your english score and if you wrote PTE.. but with a high PTE score you can gain an extra 10 points, and you get the results within 5 working days. Sometimes the very next day if you are lucky.

metrecube:

You re welcome.
I uploaded two payslips for each year and of course the very first one and d most recent payslip. I lodged in february and i submitted january payslip as d most recent one.

Thank you very much for your responses, I appreciate..

metrecube:

You are qualified for both project builder with ur Bsc in Buílding and construction project manager with your Msc. With your 3 years experience, you should be okay with vetassess but you may not be able to claim point frm experience coz minimum a year would be deducted from ur experience. Is your experience post Bsc or Msc? Do you work as a builder or you work as a construction manager? Just go for the one that is related to ur job description. You should be fine.

@metrecube; thank you very much for your response, I appreciate. Please how many pay slips did you provide for each year. Thank you

metrecube:
Vetassess finally responded positively yesterday.
