Yes, it is 4years in Australia which is most times equivalent to 5years overseas except if you graduated from countries that have accord with them. I will advise you should use Professional Engineers template. They might ask you to put it in Engineering Technologist template rather than given you negative outcome. I know two different Engineers; one Mechanical (Unilag) and the other Chemical Engineer (Uni Ben)that were given Engineering Technologist. They applied for Professional Engineer Engineer but were given that.

mctowel01:
You have to tell us more about your qualifications, work experience and age.. So you will get good advice on the best route to take.

jukeblam:


Do you know if they both spent the whole 5 yrs in their various unis or they had ND-to-200level or HND-300 level progression? Maybe any of such could have affected, no?

So, does this totally restrict the jobs they can take or overlapping of duties sure happens over there?



I recently got my positive assessment as a Professional Engineer (Mechanical); and I did the diploma route into 200 level (Unilag). However, I had an extra semester that added a year to my graduation year and strikes that added another year to total time spent; maybe these peculiarities had an effect. Or maybe not.

I mean, the transcript would still show same content- save for the 1st year which is mostly general courses across the faculty.

You should apply via fastrack too.

mctowel01:

Cool, it wouldn't have been long since you graduated, cos i know unilag diploma began quite recently (<10yrs ago). Are you applying for PR currently?

NNBB2012:

She is eligible for PR and her occupation is on the list. She won't get any points from experience whether she uses her HND or MSc. I would advise she should use her MSc so that she can get 15points from qualification and 25points from her age. She really need to do extremely well in English Test.

Hi NNBL2012, bellogg


kindly advice on the best route to take.
Age: 25
Qualification: B.Eng
Experience: 1yr in d workshop of a transport company as workshop supervisor (nysc), 1yr 6 months as a mechanical Engr in a firm.
IELTS: W- 6.5, S- 7.5, R- 8.5, L- 8.5 overall 8.0 ( I knw its useless cos of d 6.5)

My questions are these
1. Is it possible I extend my experience by 7 months since I have 9months gap btw wen I started Working and wen I finished Nysc
2. Do I go thru student route or PR route? The wahala is I have already applied for a stdnt visa to do advanced diploma not in engineering.

lawland:
@NNBB, do you have any idea why they were given Engineering technologist, cos I have seen people from same school getting professional engineering.

bigfatthing:

OK thanks for the response. I'm 22 years old, will be 23 in July. I have a btech in electronic and electrical engineering, no serious work experience I think it's better to say no working experience

bellong:


Can you rewrite your English test and aim to get a 20point mark?

You can get a positive assessment from Engineer Australia using your 11\2 year experience to write the CDR.

If you can get a 20point score in English, you don't need to claim point for work experience.


@Lovetrust,

No point disturbing yourself about spouse point. To get the 5-point, you must do a skill assessment and get positive result. The spouse point is not a compulsory requirement, just to aid in point accummulation. Let your spouse get his/her 60point...

mctowel01:

Ok, from the look of things.. Your best bet in going for PR direct(189 visa subclass) is to get the 60 points required from other means other than work experience. From your age, you
Age: 25 points
Btech: 15 points
Total= 40
This means you have to look for 20 points from English proficiency. I ll advise you go for PTE if you are aiming to getbthe required 20 points.
Tho there is still skill assessment stage after, but the good side is that EA doesn't require work experience to be mandatory. You need career episodes which can be from school projects and internships.
I guess i have summatized the path i know. There is also this state nomination, but i dont know much about that path

mctowel01:

Age: 25 30 points
Btech: 15 points
Total= 40 45

ENGRJCJ:
how far na.. Have you heard anything from ur CO

TempusQ:

@bigfatthing Pls note the corrections above...
32+ of age = 25 points While 32 & below = 30 points

scrollmeout:

Depends if you are in Lagos or Abuja. This response is for tests taken at Fatayi Williams Lagos.
All adults above 18 years of age will do all 3 tests above at the cost of 30k, 5.2k and 6k respectively. Children 2 yrs and above will do 501-medical exam at 20k and TBT at 6k respectively. Lastly babies/infants under 2yrs of age will do 501 test alone at 20k.
The results will then be sent to Global Health Sydney in 7 working days, you will receive a mail to that effect. Finally DIBP will be advised on the outcome btw 1-3 working days.
Note that chest xray are taken at St Nicholas hospital, Lagos

I , graduated in 2014 , second class upper division civil Engineering , overall ielts 7.5 with 6.5 Writing.. others above 7. NYSC is my work experience( ministry of works).. though it ends in April. What's my PR chance

elawdafinest:
Hello bro @ENGRJC happy Easter have you heard anything and when is your school supposed to resume?

mctowel01:

First of all, your school grades dont significantly come to play in this PR application.
Just look at your minimum ielts score in determining if you are eligible for points.
Less then 7(from 6.5below) in any band does not qualify you for points.
So all you have are your degree(15 points) and age(25/30 points (you didnt state your age) ) Your nysc experience will help you in preparing career episodes for skill assessment, so its still very useful.
What you can bank on is working hard to get higher scores in an English proficiency exam. I ll advise you tty PTE since you ve just done ielts. Your ielts will still be useful, so its also not a waste.

Hello,

Good day all. I had my medicals precisely one week ago at Fatayi WILLIAMS clinic and the doctor told me they will send the results last week and I will receive an email but up till now I have not heard anything from the hospital, no email whatsoever and when i check emedical I am told the panel clinic is yet to send the result. Is this normal? I am getting worried, pls advise

scrollmeout:
No need to be worried. The time frame is 7 working days nd not just 1 week. If you don't get an email from them, I advise you call them on phone. They will have to give you a reason for the delay

mctowel01:

Wrong!
Between 18-24=25 points
Between 25-32=30 points
And 32-i don't know =25 points

Phemorinho:
@NNB2012. @bellong please i am in a dilemma. I applied to Edith Cowan University to study Master of Professional Accounting, and also at Flinders University. After a week, i got a mail from ECU that i do not meet the admission requirement for Masters,that my bachelors degree was assessed and its equivalent to Australian diploma (probable cause is,my bachelors is three years,simply because i gained admission into my university with IJMB Alevels)
My questions are:
What do i do
Do i just go for PR instead?
My profile:
Age will be 29 by next month
I studied Accounting.
I work with the Federal Govt,so my 6years job experience is not in accounting.
I am married with 3kids.

TempusQ:
Noted!!!
Thank you...
I don't know about 18-24.
