Thanks Capt. C

Dear Capt. C. Many thanks for your kind gesture of help and guidance. I have Chief Engineer Unlimited from UK. I started working as a 4th Engineer since 2003. I have 6 months as 4th Engineer. 14 months of sea time as 3rd Engineer 24 months of sea time as 2nd Engineer and 28 months of sea time as Chief Engineer. I have acquired this sea service by working with 5 companies out of which my first company where i worked as a chief engineer for 8 months has closed down their shutters, however they are still maintaining an office for presentation so they shall be able to give me the letters of experience. So will the work with different companies effect the consideration of my experience by DIBP. Secondly can DIBP challenge the work experience of 8 years mentioned by AMSA in the letter which is substantiated by the work experience letters from the companies. Thanking you for your guidance.

Can anyone please guide me through for my above querry with regards to the work experience letters as i do need the 15 points to reach a score of 60.

AET GUY, Congratulations Buddy. I have following queries and seek your kind advise. Dear aet Guy, Request your kind guidance with regards to years of experience. I understand for Engineers AMSA gives maximum 8 years but their writing is he has at least 8 years of work experience in Maritime Industry. The problem is that they do not mention 8 years in last 10 years and that is my first doubt whether DIBP in your experience accepted the same for maximum experience. Second question is how did you put up your experience, how many points did you claim for your experience. Did you have all the 8 years and were all these 8 years in the rank of Chief Engineer and if these were not in the rank of Chief Engineer did you put up the work experience in the junior ranks like 2nd Eng and 3rd Eng. and were they accepted by DIBP. And the third and last question is did you put up only your rank experience or you did put up your leave period as well and if you put up your leave period how did you make it work out for DIBP. I shall be highly obliged for your kind reply. Also can anyone who has gone through this process please guide me for the same. Thanks to all of you for making contribution to this page.

Dear Capt. R. Request your kind guidance with regards to years of experience. I understand for Ship's Masters and Chief Engineers AMSA gives maximum 8 years but their writing is he has at least 8 years of work experience in Maritime Industry.

I also want to thank you for the step by step guidance you have provided as it is turning out to be a source of guidance for all of us, even for engineers like myself.
