Engineers Australia Assessment (merged threads)
 

I passed the IELTS now I preparing my CDR for Engineers Australia as a Petroleum Engineer..Any one can help me ? if you have any CDR samples please tell me ...Even if those sample are not for petroleum engineers I will use them as a guide only.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

PM me your email id.I will give you a copy of my CDR. I got assessed as an "Electronics Engineer". But remember the CDR has to be your own work. Just try to check the format from mine and yes read all the instructions mentioned in the handbook throughly.

I just hope the moderators don't get offended with me sharing my CDR as a sample. :-)

Cheers

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

I sent u my email in a pm ...Have u ever heard about rejection from EA? is it an easy walk?..I appreciate your help and looking forward for other members to share thier experience.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Its easy provided you follow all the instructions. DO NOT leave any thing mentioned in the handbook. they follow the hand book line by line.

Its easy and they will advise as to how the correct the submission. Atleast they helped me by letting me know where I had gone wrong with my submission and allowed me time to correct my mistakes.

Follow the pattern I have sent you.

Cheers!!

Engineers Australia Assessment
 

Dear all

could any body know for how many months engineers australia assessment is valid?
and according to new point system do i have to take 6 ielts in all band in order to apply for engineers australia as it was before?

plz advice

thnks

Re: Engineers Australia Assessment
 

For first part of your question, according to EA, the assessment outcome will remain valid indefinitely however their understanding with DIAC is that the assessment notification be no more than 5 years old at the date of migration application. An updated letter of assessment after this time can be obtained by sending back the original letter to EA.
For the second part, Yes you need at least 6 in all bands.

thanx sielman

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Hi, I am Electronic Engineer and currently preparing my CDR but the problem is that I have work experience of electrical projects and electronic equipments. Can I use use these projects like Design of Electrical system, PLC system and CCTV system as the basis of my Career Episodes? Please help.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Yes, why not. If you have done projects like designing electrical, PLC CCTV systems it would serve as career episodes.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Thanks!

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Guys,

Let's share or CDR ..This very important and helpful.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

While going through the EA Website, I noticed that they have been authorized by DIAC for providing an opinion on skilled employment claims which will form the basis of the points awarded for Australian/overseas work experience. They say "High-level evidence will be required to support any claim of work experience". The details will be available soon in July 2011 edition of MSA booklet. Lets wait for it before proceeding for skills assessment. see link below:

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Sharing a CDR wont help you a lot...what u can do is prepare ur CDR and dscuss it thoroughly wid someone...u should first of all select 3 projects and start by writing a draft of ur career episodes.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Thanks for Highlighting this...Do you have any more details? what about the new MSA bocklet..it's seems that it's getting harder to be +ve assessed.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

I contacted EA via email and they mentioned that the new MSA booklet will be available "early this week".

Regarding your point of assessment becoming harder, I think that current CDR based system is hard enough and I wonder what else they can demand from us.

Lets wait for new booklet to know the details.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Can I ask you some Questions?..1- what kind of engineer are you? 2-Have ever heard about rejection from EA?

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Isn't the current pdf copy at their website an updated one...or there is one more coming up

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Electronics Engineer. I cannot comment about the rejection from EA as I recently came to know about this CDR thing from Engineers Australia. What I feel from their approach that they are supposed to assess us against our qualifications and skills and give their recommendation for equivalency according to Australian standards. If you dont have enough experience or irrelevant qualification (which does not pertain to their domain) then they will simply notify you for a different path.


The currently available version is of January 2011 which will be amended and July 2011 version will be released soon to reflect the changes of new points test of DIAC.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

I think they have uploaded the latest one...I am a novice, pardon me if i am wrong..


If its a new one what are the additional requirements and how will it impact

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Yes, the new MSA booklet (July 2011 Edition) is now available at EA website. I see no major change in CDR based method, the only addition is the assessment of skilled employment for DIAC at an extra cost of AUD 150.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Hello Vaibhav...

I need your help desperately....As i am going to assess my degree through Engineers Australia and as everybody needs CDR report to fullfill their criteria. I need your help.

As i am going to assess as Biomedical engineer but i just want to see a sample report...


PLease....
(And one more thing, Do u hav any idea if some one has done Bachelor of engineering in Biotechnology whether it is possible to assess as biomedical engineer..?? )

Thanks,:thumbsup::fingerscrossed:

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Anyone has any such CDR samples..???? please need it badly...

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

I am confused regarding the assessment....I will be claiming points for my 3 years offshore work exp....in order to get these 05 points, should my cdr be written at the end of 3 years.....or I can send it now(2.5 years exp)...and claim later for the 03 years experience when i submit my app to DIAC...can anyone go through page 26 of 52of EA assessment booklet(additional assessment services)...

day by day its getting complex...

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

points test is DIAC's instrument has nothing to do with the EA assessment. If you have enough to pass the assessment, you can go for it now. When you have enough to claim additional points with DIAC you will apply for the visa. DIAC does their own calculations of the work experience.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

then why is this mentioned on page 26 in section D..

"2. Applicability of additional services

It should be noted that not all clients will require these
additional assessing services. Such services are
anticipated to be ONLY of interest to the following clients:

• those who hold a higher-level qualification than may be
strictly necessary to provide the nominated outcome;

and / or

• those who have at least 1 year Australian work
experience, and / or at least 3 years Overseas work
experience in their nominated occupation or a closelyrelated
occupation.

Either or both of these services may be applied for if the
client wishes to claim the DIAC points."

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

This is an additional service, offered be EA, that may or may not be needed. It is also separate from the skills assessment itself. It says at the beginning of the section that DIAC *may* request an opinion, but they don't have to. Yes, it would be less risky for you to apply for assessment and for this optional opinion at the same time, after you have completed your 3 years, this way you could pretty much bank on the extra points in the visa application, but you don't have to have it upfront, and DIAC may not even request it. These rules are quite new and there is not enough info available publicly to opine on, so keep us updated on how you go about it.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
 

Thnx newjersey for ur input...would let everyone here know what happens to my assessment..

other posts vary...
 

there have been other posts with official links stating the same 5 yrs to be 12 months ie. you must apply to DIAC within 1 yr of your outcome letter from EA, but the EA website says 5 yrs according to their general understanding :unsure: (not necessarily understanding with DIAC)

CDR for EA assessment review
 

I am almost done with my CDR but not feeling confident regarding the occupation ill be applying for. My intended occupation is mechanical engineering but i have been working in upstream oil and gas sector. so my career episodes include alot of drilling terminologies..

Can anyone over here give each episode a review. it would ideally be a person assessed positively by EA, has done mechanical engineering and working in upstream oil sector...any mechanical engineer who has been assessed positively by EA is also welcomed.


PM me ur id, ill send u the episodes in couple of days..

Engineers australia assessment time?
 

Hi everyone;
I have applied to Engineers australia to get my assessment done...
any idea how much time they take for this ?

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?
 

All applications, whether to DIAC or assessment bodies, are individual. No-one can tell you exactly how long one will take.

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?
 

Their normal processing time for non-recognized qualification is 16 weeks. The trend of recent assessment outcomes as posted by people on this forum shows that they consistently comply to this 16 weeks processing time.

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?
 

thanks ...
i appreciate it...
have you already applied ?
:)

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?
 

Yup, into my 7th week of wait!:thumbup:

Re: Engineers Australia Assessment (merged threads)
 

It seems their estimates are very accurate. My assessment took exactly 16weeks.

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?
 

when can we expect to get the CID # ?

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?
 

I got mine within 3 days of CDR documents delivery.

Re: Engineers Australia Assessment (merged threads)
 

Guys is it just me or every one....previously it was written on this page date that turnaround time for assessment is 16 weeks and now they have changed it to 12 weeks...

They have stated

Generally, for:

Non-accredited qualifications – turnaround is currently about 12 weeks from the date of receipt. Note this time can be highly variable depending on numbers of incoming applications
Accredited Australian and Accord qualifications – currently about 3-4 weeks.

Re: Engineers australia assessment time?

Re: Engineers Australia Assessment (merged threads)
 

It was 16 previously for sure, but now it's 12 weeks, good news for all applicants.:thumbup:
