Points Test Advice from vetassess

HI PPl

I have a query on the point test advise from vetassess.I have my skills assessed by ACS but I have a graduation that is not related to my ACS. In the skill assessment letter from ACS also there was nothing mentioned about my Graduation but also there was nothing where ACS has referred to any assessing body on my graduation. When I contacted vetassess they said only if they get a letter from other assessing body or DIAC they would provide this advise letter..so what should I do now...I have got my invite and awaiting CO, will the CO reject my case in case there is no point test advise ?

Im bit worried on this

Have posted this question on the same thread please respond

The vetassess website states
"Please note that as of 1 January 2015, if you're a new applicant who intends to apply for a skills assessment under a VETASSESS general professional occupation, your skills assessment outcome letter will include your highest qualification up to postdoctoral degree level as well as the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation based on closely related employment within the last ten years."

Now normal vetassess assessment assess both the qualification and employment. and positive outcome letter is most of the time sufficient to claim points for education and employment. What I dont understand is if vetassess outcome letter states the (date) person is deemed skilled and his qualification is relevant and equivalent to aqf then why does one need PTA (Point Test Advice)?

I dont really understand what you are not understanding. Without PTA they will only assess the employment which deems you skilled. They will ignore all further employment. In the PTA they will assess all relevant employment and provide the exact time which you can claim points for and at the end they will provide you with total number of years assessed positively (excluding the time until you are deemed skilled).

Points Test Advice (Skills Assessment for Migration) - VETASSESS

Please note that according to DIBP, points for qualifications at Master degree level can only be awarded where applicants have also completed a Bachelor degree that is assessed by the relevant skills assessing authority as being comparable to an Australian Bachelor degree level.


now if i am holding a Diploma in Computing and a MBA (general management), what is my score ?
10 or 15 ?
since i do not have Bachelor Degree, will they consider the MBA as bachelor degree level ?

1. When applying to a Managerial position, is it required to work in same position now. Because i'm currently working as Quality Engineer and trying to apply 139914: Quality Assurance Manager.
Could you please give some advices.

2. For my occupation Adelaide has given state sponsorship but it is at " Low availability stage". Is this meant i should wait till 2016 - 2017 list in next year?

Hi All,

I need some help...I got my assessment last year which was positive and total years considered were 3. Now I have 2 more years of Managerial experience and I want those to be assessed to get 5+ years. I contacted Vetassess and they said fill out SRG 35 and send them to email ID with all relevant documents of new employment. I got confused while filling the form...it says don't mention education above secondary if already assessed and for employment it asks details only for new one....my question...should I fill earlier employment details or not...I got earlier assessment done through agent and he said old docs are already sent...please guide if someone can to fill SRG35

dear siva sir and seniors. I am a mixed crop farmer. I have done BSc in physics which is not relevant to what I am doing now. I need only one year of positive assessment from vetassess. I already have 60 points as I have scored more than 65 in each in PTE which gave me 10 points. I have very less documents to prove that I am farming . What I am having is proof of ownership of land on which I am farming, sale letters of crop proving income and I can also provide two letters of refrence from agriculture service providers. Do I need to provide proofs for the last three years, as they may cut my two years of experience leaving me with only one year of experience. Please correct me where I am wrong and also give some suggestion.

wondering, Why u changed ur name at this time.
Not sure about it, CO may ask form 1221

No worries about ur UK reference letters, If you are claiming points then only have to worry...

Regarding your job profile: farmer have big future here, but not in city could be around 40km away from city, many farms and vineyard are very famous here...
Not sure about the pay......

Once reached you could easily find your way


All the best
Cheers

Hi, Can experts here please guide me. How much time does Point Test Advice Takes. For example you have received a positive Vetassess skill assessment which took around 10-12 weeks but for some reason you have to take Point Test Advice. Can anyone tell me how much additional time PTA takes in this scenario? Will they take additional 12 weeks for PTA too??

Hi Siva,

I just received an email from VETASSESS Advisory stating that my education is not relevant to my occupation ( Restaurant Manager). But i have got the necessary experience of 2 years to get a positive outcome. Now i am planning to apply for the full assessment on 20 October. Could you please suggest any good immigration agent in Australia. Or should i apply by myself? I have got all the required documents e.g full tax statement for the last 2 year, salary slip, reference letters, bank statement showing etc.

Thanks,
Ushi

Review skills assessment???

Hi guys..

This is my first post to this forum although I have been closely following the threads. My question is out to the seniors..
My husband applied for a skills assessment to VETASSESS. But unfortunately, his outcome was negative. Now when applied to VETASSESS for the same occupation, 8 years ago (under the old migration rules) we received a positive outcome. I am unable to understand how he managed to get a positive outcome 8 years ago and now receive a negative outcome for doing the SAME job. The only difference is that he has more experience now!
I am torn by this. Just wanted to know if we should review or have the rules changed with regards to assessing certain occupations.

:(

I requested them outcome in 6th week
And received positive outcome in couple of days!

step by step procedure for applying Australian Migration (please review and confirm)

1) Find your closely linked occupation in SOL or CSOL
2) Once identified, see what qualification and experience may be required for that job role
3) Apply for skill assessment by relevant assessing authority giving details of your qualification and experience
4) upon +ve skill assessment, fill expression of interest to be in pool for being picked up or apply for state nomination if in CSOL.

Please confirm if above if correct?
Also please help me answer following queries:

a) When applying for X role, it says that Y education + 3yrs experience is required. If someone has more than 3yrs of experience but with different companies does it require to provide job description letter from previous companies. Is it worth the pain or 3yrs is enough since requirement is 3yrs (or 5yrs is enough even if they deduct some experience to deem one skilled for that job role)
b) If 2 different occupation belong to same unit group shall we mention the one which closely match or can manage anyone as tasks are exactly the same for both
c) From where I can find minimum qualification and experience criteria for any job role ( as listed in SOL or CSOL)

Hi,

My suggestion would be to submit all the relevant work experiences for assessment to avoid getting a -ve report as they may not consider some of the work experiences based on your profile, designation etc. even though it is relevant to the category you applied for.

It happened in my case, as Vetassess considered only 2 out of 6 job experiences applied for assessment in spite of its relevancy to my job category. Because of that I was deprived of crucial points.

So don't assume on your own by submitting only few years of experience for assessment would suffice to get a +ve report.

Secondly, in the process step, one important task you missed out is IELTS exam and score which you need while submitting application for EOI.

Cheers...all the best....

Regards
Bala...

Salam khalid, for salary certificate it must contain information no of your working hours, any applicable income tax, any deductions that are being made from your salary every month. And the reason stating that salary is disbursed in form of cash. Letter must be signed by someone responsible and his contact details including telephone and email address. All information must be mentioned on company letter head.

I have a query with regard to the online form in Vetassess. I reside in India and I have completed my Chartered Accountancy the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. My nominated occupation is Internal Auditor. In the Vetassess online form, should i list this educational qualification in the "Higher Education" section or in the "License" section?
If anyone who has recently completed their skill assessment for internal auditor can give me insights on this, it would be great!

Thanks.

Hi seniors I have a question I am applying for assessment for 121214: Grain, Oilseed or Pasture Grower. I have done BSc in physics. I am doing farming in my own farm since last 5 years. In the ANZSCO site it is written
Occupations at Skill Level 1 have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification. At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification. In some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification.
Is that means my 5 years of experience will be nullified as I don't have formal qualification in agriculture or they are talking about any general qualification.
and in vetassess site it is written
Skills*Assessment*Criteria:
Qualification/s*assessed*at*AQF*Bachelor*degree*or*higher*degree*with*a*highly*relevant*field*of*study*and*at*least*one*year*of post-qualification*highly*relevant*employment*at*an*appropriate*skill*level*completed*in*the*last*five*years;
OR

which one is relevant in my case
