  hi @eric_402 - so far wala pa akong nakita dito sa forum na nagclaim ng community language - 5 points..
  
  From what i know, you can only get the 5 points if you have the NAATI accreditation.
  Also, the application and testing fee is very expensive..

  Sep 24, 2011 - IELTS (L-8 R-8 W-8 S-7.5 : OBS-8)
  Jan 04, 2012 - EA application submitted | Feb 23, 2012 - EA assessment result (IE ANZSCO 233511)
  May 8, 2012 - Lodged GSM 175 online application | June 4, 2012 - CO Allocated
  June 22, 2012 - Medicals Finalized | Aug 30, 2012 - PCCs Completed (PH, UAE, USA)

  Reply to @lock_code2004: Yup mahal din yung fee for the NAATI accreditation. Mas mahal pa ata sa IELTS un eh.

  I tried to research on this pero naguluhan ako sa website ng NAATI. Haha. I read from other forum na mahirap din yung exam nila. Parang sobrang lalim na tagalog. Haha. try the search button on this forum baka nadiscuss na somewhere dito.

  @eric_402 if you are referring to "cert of filipino as a medium of instructions" from your university, i think that would not work.. Kasi they are looking for "credentialed evidence"..
  
  See below information from NAATI:
  
  NAATI Accreditation may be obtained in five ways:
  a) Passing a NAATI accreditation test
  b) successful completion of a course of studies in translation and/or interpreting at an Australian institution as approved by NAATI
  c) providing evidence of a specialised tertiary qualification in translation and/or interpreting obtained from an educational institution overseas
  d) providing evidence of a membership of a recognised international translating and/or interpreting professional association
  e) providing evidence of advanced standing in translating or interpreting.

  For just five points, parang masyadong matrabaho ang proseso nito...Unless sobrang gipit ka na sa points hehe. Binabaan naman ang pass mark sa points tested visa puwede na kayo magbaka sakali sa 60

  Reply to @LokiJr: Parang ang trend ngayon sir basta kung pwede ka makakuha ng points sa ibang criteria for the visa application e kunin mo na. Hirap ngayon at nagkaroon na ng occupation ceiling. E sa mga taga India pa lang na mag aapply e parang magkakaubusan na agad sa slots. Parang College lang ah.may qouta na bawat course.

  Reply to @k_mavs: dami galit sa mga Indians noh haha...kahit sa Singapore sila rin mga kaagaw natin sa employment dun hehehe
  
  I agree, walang masama sa pagkuha ng 5 points pero kung kakaiba naman ang occupation mo at alam mong hindi yun ang tipong pinapasukan ng marami, mabuti na sigurong sumugal sa basic pass point. Everyone is on learning curve with Skillselect right now kaya kung maagap ka at mabilis, mauunahan mo rin ang mga iba

  hi all, i claimed the 5 points for community language by submitting a certificate from my high school saying that Filipino was taught the whole time and the medium of instruction for that subject was Filipino/Tagalog. I just do not know whether I was actually given points for that. I am Brisbane-based, visa was approved on June 2011.
