Good morning.

Please can someone help out?


Joyfuljoyful:
Good morning everyone,

A friend is on a tier 4 visa and it expires later this year. The wife just got a Health and care worker job where the company would be providing COS. They want to know if they will need to have the statement balance of 1,247 requested by the UK government as they have lived in the UK more than 1 year.

For the dependant will there be need for her to write the ielts or ecctis before switching to the Health and Care Visa?

Thanks.

Goodmorning house.

For someone coming to UK for the first time to study can he/she buy dollar and bring it along and change it to pounds in the UK?

Pounds is very hard to get for now and even the dollar is very scarce.

Also what denomination of dollar or pounds can one buy cos some people are saying buying only $1, $2 $5, $10, $20, £1, £2, £5, £10, £20 is the best

Thank you

dollars is not used in the UK. To save yourself double loss, you should buy pounds. Not buy dollars and then come here to change dollars again to pounds. U lose this way. Any denomination you can get is fine. There’s nothing like best.

Getting pounds is the best because with dollars, you will still need to convert to pounds before you can spend in the UK, and the exchange rate isn't that good. But since you said pounds is scarce, I will advise you open a domiciliary account with dollars, pounds and euros in one account. That way, you can buy dollars and convert it to pounds. GTB does that, though I don't know how favourable their exchange rates are for those currencies at the moment. You can just walk into any of their branches and make enquiries about that.

You don't need anything. Just have your BRP handy and maybe your job's offer letter. BRP was the only thing that was asked of me when I went for the interview and that was only just sighted.

I'm studying Entrepreneurship and Innovation and aside BA there are other job roles like business development manager, customer experience manager, researcher, social media manager and project manager I have interest in.

From your advice below do you mean one can decide to take BA courses with a major organisation without be employed in the first place?


Also, like someone said, why not take the BA courses you want within a major organisation? They'll be free and very high quality. You may even find it possible to transition to a flexible role that's more focused on BA than core accounting within the same organisation after tailoring your on-the-job professional development toward that line.
[/quote]



This is to all the oldies in the house. Like I said I'm studying Msc Entrepreneurship and Innovation and is their any other visa type I can consider aside this Tier 2 visa?

Are there better suggestions/advices anyone out there can give me as his/her lil sister trying to gain something meaningful in the UK?

Also, I have a dream of running a social enterprise that will focus on waste management which will focus on environmental sanitation and waste recycling in Delta State (Nigeria) and in my local government for a start and extend to other parts of the state and I will like to get all the help/partnership I need from WHO. Note this is just my dream and hoping one day it clicks not that I'm having sleepless night over this😂 pertaining to this I wouldn't mind having a practical experience on how this UK people manages their waste and the recycling thing oh as it will help my dream becomes achievable. So anyone with input on how I can get this practical life experience should share too🤲

Lastly, as I have listed all the job role I have interest in and stated my dream are there any certifications/exams I need to take to incorporate into my CV? Not really a fan of short courses and I think many are just after the pay as they don't really go in depth enough.

Thank you.

Is there an app to review similarity and plagiarism?

Thank you


Controlv:


Usually, we tend to mix up similarity with plagiarism. It is possible to have 40% similarity without a single plagiarism and it's possible to have 5% similarty with plagiarism. I am not saying you plagiarized but just trying to explain the difference based on my experience.

To start with, check what proportion of the 21% came from one source. Also, always do a thorough review of the similarity by checking the sources hilighted in turn it in and ensure your work does not directly reflect those sources.

I am happy to put you through on how to review your similarity for future purpose. All the best.

I sha passed my driving test today at 3rd attempt even though I had a perfect score in my theory, it's a different ball game driving with a stranger with eyes on you(failed the last one 30 seconds into the test which was really unfair, guess the examiner was having a bad day).

Wish all going through this phase well deserved favour!

Your school (assuming you are a student) should grant you access to this. Grammarly, Quilbot and Microsoft Word online have features to allow you do this but not as comprehensive as Turnitin provided by your school.
