Naric assessment query

I will ask these things. Companies/recruiters don't really do background checks for experiences gained overseas unless it's a very technical/specialise job or it's a big/well-known company.

Technical/specialise jobs would include doctors, engineers, etc. You get my drift.

1. First thing I would ask is what their current visa/residency status here in the UK.

- What type of visa/tiers? Are they a resident or citizen?

2. Then I will qualify them based on their experience and verticals/industries they have worked for.

3. Systems/technologies

4. Education

5. Traveling/Flexibility (Commute or drive? How will they get to work?)

6. Hobbies/personality. How will they fit in the team?

7. Rate

8. Notice period/ Availability

@HaloHalo will do that for you probably later this evening.

Good to know that.
ERP skill is an easy one. I just need to get a formal certification for it- again would require money. So one step at a time.

I'll probably consult with you when time comes for me to find work (like suggestion on my CV etc).

Sure, I work with contractors though. To be a contractor, you will need a lot of experience.

It's not uncommon to earn 400 gbp a day for a contractor. The best runner I have earns 800.

That's close to one month's paycheck to most people.

My colleagues work with perm jobs, so no worries we can help you with that.

Just get that certification and learn ERPs!

One thing to remember, where you live in the UK will have a significant bearing on what opportunities will be available to you, your kabayan knight lives in London where there are more opportunities for obvious reasons.

Weve had 1 signup tonight and that has been okayed. Not sure if that's Nayely or not. If not, will keep and eye out for the signup.

Just an update:
I have submitted a request for statement of comparability yesterday by submitting a copy of my transcript to NARIC.

An hour ago, i have received a message from them telling me 'in order to proceed with the assessment, we would require a copy of the final diploma/certificate.'

I have added to the documents a copy of my diploma but i am not sure what they mean with certificate? I have sent them a message asking what it is, so i'll let you know of their feedback.

Diploma/certificate is the same thing in my book.

Diploma is more university degree.

Certificate is either a college diplma or a trading/apprenticeship certification.

--------------

Basically university degree is on a higher scale.

Knight is correct.

I have a degree certificate. One and the same.

Hi guys.

Just an update on NARIC assessment. I submitted my application last dec 15 and i have received their feedback by post. My bachelor's degree in ph is comparable to HND (higher national diploma) or a foundation degree standard.

Finished my accountancy degree in ateneo de davao (so im not sure if provincial schools are taken into account or purely the manila based ones).

At least i have answer to my questions - take ielts a2 on the 2nd FLR (m) application and comparability of my education to the UK.

That's good, as mentioned before HND is level 6 qualification which is highly regarded in the UK and should be most helpful to you in your job search.

You can now put this on your CV with the NARIC reference number.

Hi @Maley, are you from Davao?
Thanks for this info. Well, you're one step closer now.
I wonder with mine, graduated from a state university. This whole process seems a bit daunting.

The assessment was easy- select statement of comparability, create a profile, and upload your transcript and diploma and then pay. Took a week in total.

Hometown is not davao but i have claimed it anyways (im a few hours away). I have studied in addu for university and then worked there for 4 yrs before becoming ofw.

Very useful Maley, thank you

Nothing wrong with HND. It's considered as degree standard and a perfectly good qualification.

I never said that having an HND is wrong. What I am trying to point out is, if you want to earn more than a living wage then having HND is not enough.

Yes it is.

I have an HNC and earn a decent enough wage. HNC is a part time version of an HND.

Don't get so hung up on qualifications. This isn't the Philippines where you need a degree to work in McDonalds.
