UBKtech:

I actually did mine in Accra, but Ghana is no longer a center, I guess due to lack of patronage. I was the only candidate then, as for preparation materials, I used a combination of Dacie & Lewis- practical haematology & Hoffbrand - essential haematology and Chessbrough for haematology & blood transfusion.
Chessbrough- for microbiology
Silverton & Baker for Histopathology
Tietz & Chessbrough for Clinical Chemistry
Never really liked Oche due to presentation.

But remember a lot of the questions require practical application, especially with interpretation of pathology results, I guess you should have observed that from the sample question paper.

Best of luck!

alukojosh:
Thanks bro, Gathered all the document and willl keep the house posted. they now have new commercial patner from info gathered and service charge is 6800 nara per head. yellow card important as at the time of submission bla bla...
Have you heard anyone been denied on the svp despite paying the school deposit? just out of curiosity

sunnysunshine:
Good day all,thanks for the response i have received so far with regard to my previous question[b] ....i would like the house to help me verify if anyone has been issued a visa under SVP without statement of account and sponsorship letter?[/b]
My agent has been pressurizing to bring one even when i have referred him to DIAC website where it stated that a student under SVP just needs to declare that he has the ability to take care of himself while in Australia without showing any documents attached. thanks for your anticipated reply

Many people, including myself, got our visas approved without a statement of account. It's either your provide your agent with what they want or just proceed and apply by yourself. Applying for an Australian student visa (SVP category) is one of the easiest thing to do. It's easier than some of the assignment you'll have to complete in the Uni when you arrive

Is there anyone in this room capable to sponsor me to australia, then I pay he or she back the traveling expenses with interest when I start working..we do this base on agreement..

Hi Everyone,
I applied for a Temporary skilled graduate Visa (18 months validity, multiple entry) which was approved some weeks back. I was given a one year window to turn up in Australia before it starts counting. I have a BEng (Nig) & MSc (UK) in Chem Eng. I'm in Nigeria at the moment and thankfully, participating in a recruitment process of which if am successfully, I might not really need to tow the visa path. (Not still convinced yet ). Truth is I love Nigeria and would be happy if I can contribute to making things work but unfortunately, the love has never been returned. Having this at the back of my mind, I always try to seek alternatives. So guyz,
I need advice (Especially from those currently in Australia) on how best to go about graduate job search in Australia.
I decided to give Australia a try because I heard there are lots of prospects there.
I am already searching online using search agencies like seek,careerone,gradconnection etc. How effective are these sites with respect to graduate job search?.
I am hoping to secure an offer here before travelling over as it will help determine so many things e.g travel destination/city, housing, proximity etc. Can this be done or do I have to set foot in Australia to achieve this? How soon from experience can I secure a job on either scenario?. ( I don't know anyone in Australia)
My past work experience has been internship roles in the O&G sector thus the search for grad positions. I'm open to contract or full time that can lead to Permanent Residency
I really need info/suggestions from as many of you as possible. You can refer me to those you know working in my field (recent graduates inclusive) if you don't have answers suited to my needs. My U.S (B1/B2) Visa expires mid next year and doesn't grant me working rights hence my focus on this.
Pardon me but I had to chip in the last sentence incase anyone has a broader or out of the box suggestion.

I dunno where to start from, cos the matter no be here Congrats on the new job and the visa as well. Forget about your love for Nigeria (you no love Naija reach me wallahi ) There are lots of Job prospects here in Australia, especially O/G (i mean right now till say maybe end of 2016).
Searching online is good, it works but Australia too like agents and agencies, so if you come down here in Perth and have a chat with an Agency like Bechtel or Hays, you most likely get a job faster than someone applying to the companies directly. I say this from my own experience and general observation. You can send these agencies apps online but trust me, if you go over and meet them in their office, there's a difference. (Australia man know man strong pass Naija own ooo na just say them dey do their own with class, with style, codedly)
I support your idea of securing an offer before travelling for some reasons; especially if the Naija offer you just got is in O/G preferably a MNC.
But if you choose to travel, head straight to Perth or Queensland cos the major O/G projects are in full swing now. Of course there's Darwin too, huge projects but i dont wanna go into that here.

Either way, whether trying from here or abroad, its achievable but there some factors common to both that will determine if and how fast you'll get an offer.

1. Permanent Residency i'm sure this is an easy guess. Australian employers (most especially in O/G) know that the locals come first before any other type of visa. Of course we believe in miracles so a company could take you and sponsor but what are the chances? yeah those slim chances could be your portion, i dunno.

2. Qualification/ Experience: you may be surprised to hear this but in Oz, THE TRADES RULE. The truck drivers, electricians, offsiders, etc. they make big money(talk about 100k - 150k per annum just for an apprentice;depending on the company sha, think of how much you'll make as an experienced mechanical fitter, or crane operator, etc )These guys make big money even more than Professionals and the Trade Union is Strong (always there to protect their interests) and those roles are the easiest way to get in into the industry but you need to have Local licences, registrations, permits and qualifications. Most roles require just a Cert II, Cert III, maximum of Cert IV.
They dont care much about your Diploma,BSc, MSC...only for some (very few number) positions and of course considerable experience has to go with it. The easiest way to get in with this high qualifications is through graduate programs that come annually (fair enough, cos a tradie cant apply for that ) Or better still man know man.
Recently, i think in June, WA passed a law that only PR and Citizens can procure the Maritime Card which you require to work offshore in Western Australian waters. I'm sure you know what that means.

In fact sometimes they threaten people from the east coast
If you dont have local experience, FIFO experience, the slimmer your chance gets, technically speaking.
If you can get an internship, that'd be fantastic.

There are some pros and cons( a lot of talking points) of being on ground or trying from abroad that time wont permit me to go into here.
Good luck.

piusford:

Thank you so much @ UBKtech. After paying accessment fee of $700, do I have to still pay again for the professional exam?

UBKtech:


You need at least 1yr experience on the chosen occupation, that's why they called it skilled migration.



You can find everything about the AIMS professional exams on their website, inducing sample Questions, Suggested reading list, venues etc
http://www.aims.org.au/services/aims-professional-examination/aims-professional-examination



You are better off with either 189 or 190, at all...at all na im be 489 visa

FutureDon:


No I haven't. You'll be fine as long as you include all the required documents.

Thanks Snowburn for your reply. Just to point out, I'm yet to secure the Nig job but I welcome your compliment in advance. Believe me, I can relate to what you've typed. My location on seek has been Perth by default. I am actually aware of projects (esp LNG) ongoing in OZ but you've rightly mentioned some of my fears bordering on experience and offshore operations. Certain decisions can really be burdensome.

Shale gas is the current bomb unfortunately, my interest has not been in the oil and gas. Thinking of exploring it now.
