Good day house,

My sibling intends to apply for undergraduate studies in Germany this Winter session and he has completed 100 level at Lautech already. However, all the schools we checked on daad.de require IELTS or TOEFL for BSc admission. Is it possible for this requirement to be waived? Maybe a letter showing he completed his 100 level courses in English? If not, which is better? TOEFL or IELTS? Another thing is that it wasn't specified if the IELTS should be General or Academic on the website. Can he do any of the IELTS?

Please I will appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Seniors in the house, kindly weigh in I beg of you. Some schools have language requirement as "University Entrance Qualification acquired at an English speaking school". Does it mean a letter of English proficiency is enough for these schools.

I need guidance please

The little I know. Anything school will require IELTS(academic module). The other one can be for work or immigration stuff.
A past post talked about IELTS/TOEFL. I once did TOEFL (got 91) and I think concentration is critical. Full one. U miss a few things and u will know right in the exam hall u have blown it. I believe same will go for IELTS also. U just got to prepare well. Prepare well and whichever of the two won't make a difference.
Got no answer to your first question.

thank for your kind response

I have a contact
He told me email was not encouraged due to the associated back and forth with not receiving it by relevant bodies
It also helps if you've ordered a transcript before
PM me if you want his contact

thank you plenty. PM sent

pyruvateluv:

They do send via email however mine has not been sent as my dean is yet to sign the transcript. I did everything myself when I traveled to Benin, just asked my friend to follow up

thank you for your swift reply. PM sent

Good evening house,

It is time to start this journey wholeheartedly. As explained, let me start with ECA

Please does anyone have a contact in Uniben for processing academic transcript?

Does Uniben send transcript via email to ICES?

I will appreciate any help i can get @pyruvateluv @peace505 et al


Thank you

This school tier issue is just a way of rating schools as equivalent to Australian degrees.

A tier 1 school would be rated equivalent to Australian Bachelor degree which is 15 points while a tier 2 would most likely be rated as Associate degree which is 10 points. The duration of courses play a role too.

Accountants need 80points now to have a chance.

Calculate your points and decide.
.

If my qualification will be assessed as Associates degree then I had better not bother. From what I read on IPA website, one's qualification must have been assessed as equal to Australian bachelors before one can proceed to skills assessment. Thanks for your kind response

Good evening all

Please help me understand this school tier issue and it's implication

I studied BSc Accounting from Uniben (tier 2 school I heard)
6 years work experience in same field
Can I go ahead with this PR journey?
Will my degree be assessed as equivalent of Australian bachelors?

Thanks
