hi andrew,
You can get your SIRB or Seaman’s Book now without CAV. you only need to present your SOLAS training certificate, birth certificate from NSO, latest NBI (for seaman), passport pictures, and 800 pesos processing fee for regular. You would only need your CAV when you and your employer apply for SRC (Seafarer Registration Certificate). I believe this is the last stage when you already have an employer and your agency is preparing for your departure. For the meantime, get the seaman’s book or SIRB. Check this to verify the complete list of Seaman’s Book requirements, http://www.marina.gov.ph/faqs/default.aspx.
About your CAV, I believe you would only present your certificate of grades if you are undergraduate and cannot produce a diploma…check the CAV request letter from ched website, http://www.ched.gov.ph/services/students/cav.html.
Good luck and God bless you!

Good day mam, I am planning to get a SIRB and I read that one of the requirement is CAV from CHED or DECS, I am a college graduate of commerce but with a 1.5 unit of back subject that needs to be completed because it was incomplete, I will be able to secure a certificate of grades only but with no diploma, my question is should I get a CAV from CHED or from DECS instead because of the said incomplete subject. thank you for all the information you shared and please reply soon to my e-mail address..thanks.

hi, Thank you. I did check the website and I read the requirements. What does it mean that they need certification from employer that the applicant undergone studies abroad? And it also stated that need to have S.O? because of having diploma abroad I am beginning to confused.. Is it alright that I just submit my philippine credentials? Thank you.

hi abby,
honestly speaking, i’m sorry i cannot answer your question about your CAV for your Diploma studies in Australia. I suggest that you ask your question in CHED website hoping that you can get more accurate answers. You can check http://www.ched.gov.ph/
I hope that you can still come back here so me and our readers who are in the same situation will be properly informed. Thank you for reading my website and God bless!

hi good day!

What am I going to do about my CAV? Because I graduated a degree in Manila then I take another Diploma in Australia. Would I get CAV from my course here in Australia? Or what should I show as my CAV to POEA? Thank you.
