Thank bro, about the fight reserve is it those one we are making for other visa that they will cancel within 24hrs or a valid one? If it’s a valid one someone will need to pay part of the flight right?

Do your sister upload the hotel and flight or just confirmation code they request for

NB: Do you have idea if Nigeria bank are issue PTA for evisa

Hello famz. I got an offer from an home care company. They already have their license but said they are waiting for COS allocation. They gave me a training link to take some free but mandatory training course which I have started taking. My concern is does every home care have to wait for allocation from UKVI even after securing the license? I haven't received an official offer letter yet but just told I have been offered employment and should do the training.

Gentlesoul3268:

✅BECOMING A REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER IN THE UK: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW by Sophiat Damola Omidiwura & Logan.

Social work is a regulated profession. This means that to be able to practise as a social worker in the UK, individuals must be registered with Social Work England (SWE) -- not HCPC. Once registered, all social workers are listed on the Social Work England public register.

To register with Social Work England, you need the following:

1. An approved degree or diploma or postgraduate programme in social work
2. English proficiency test (IELTS) where band score for each part of the test must not be less than 6.5 with an overall band score of 7
3. A C.V: You will need to show that you have an understanding of social work and experience of working with clients. This can be from paid or voluntary work.
4. Academic Transcript
5. Proof of identity: Certified copy of your Passport
6. Proof of address such as bank statement or light bill
7. SWE Course information form completed and certified by your university

Once you have all these documents ready, certify them as they should and submit ONLINE. Yes, application is done online. You do not have to post them. So make sure you submit everything they ask of you the first time

The international application route exists for applicants that have completed professional training outside of the UK. As someone who meets this criteria, you may be thinking about how to apply via the international route or where to access the international application forms. So this is where Sophia comes in.

Sophiat Damola Omidiwura is a SWE registered social worker who studied in Nigeria. She shares her story whilst providing insight into the SWE international application process and offering helpful tips and advice for anyone considering applying for SWE registration via this route.

▫️How I embarked on my international application for SWE registration

Hello guys I've just been registered with Social Work England and it wasn't really easy -- these guys are really thorough with their scrutiny.

I got to know about SWE from a friend last year and first thing I did was to Google them up to get their requirements as an international applicant. So it led me to their Website (www.socialworkengland.org.uk)

I read through it and realized I had to do IELTS to prove my knowledge of English, it is not applicable to everyone but none of the other options is applicable to me so I chose IELTS (academic) where its requires that each band is nothing less than 6.5 and an overall band 7.

After practicing and writing my IELTS I passed with overall 7.5 but I had 6.5 in my writing section such a narrow escape for me.

I must emphasise that it's important that you go through the website before applying. Some of the requirements are Course Information Form which should be filled by your university -- must be TYPED STAMPED and SIGNED by a staff of your department. I literally met with one of my lecturers in school then and he did it for me.

I also printed out COLOUR COPIES of my documents, its compulsorily so (no black and white copies will be accepted) they won't take any other copies because when i started my application and i was asked to upload my certified documents i uploaded it but the machine changed its original colors to almost blue so i was asked to resend it all, got it certified by a known person in the community. I chose a provost that i know who helped me to certify them. It can be certified by a teacher, banker, lawyer, lecturer, or even your HOD. Just someone that has an official email and stamp.

After getting all of my documents (Bsc certificate, C.V, Transcript, International passport, professional license, Statement of account not more than 3 months, Waec and IELTS academic) ready, I decided to start my registration.

#HCPCRegistrationGuide

▫️The process of submitting my application

I started my registration on December 29th, 2021 after creating an online account with SWE, I filled in my personal details, education, knowledge of English, DBS check, disability check etc.

▫️The time it take takes to process the application

After submitting my application I received my scrutiny payment link immediately by online account message and email too. I had to pay within a short time frame or I will have to start my application all over again. I paid on December 31st, 2021.

I asked someone in the UK to help me with the payment of £495 and sent naira equivalent. After the payment it was acknowledged almost immediately.

Few days later on January 13th,2022 I received a mail requesting my certified documents as I explained earlier that the first ones I sent has colour issues, please it is specifically stated that the documents should be COLOUR copies do not print otherwise, and it must be certified or notarized on the correct page holding the information on the certificates.

They requested my documents, OFFICIAL email of my university, employer and professional body which must be sent within a time frame. I sent it and they contacted the three of them(employer,professional body and school). Please make sure to call ahead and confirm their contact details and also inform them about what you want to do because my professional body had a strong head man feeling himsel and asking me stupid questions if I was sure I'm a social worker. Same person I paid my registration money to.

Long story short: The three of them replied the mail from SWE and I was asked to provide a reference letter from an employer and also write a professional standards letter to prove that I am qualified to be registered with them. I made use of their professional standards and wrote them a letter relating well with my experiences and what I can offer the society if I am considered to be registered with the body. After sending these 2 documents as PDF I received a mail that it has been sent for processing on February 3rd, 2022.

After a while, I got curious and sent them a mail after weeks of not hearing from them. They responded that they're working on it.

On the 3rd of March, I received an email to pay for registration -- payment of £67 because the registration cycle already started since December. Originally I was to pay £90 for a full cycle. I made a card payment on March 7th, 2022 through my UK contact and I received my Registration Number immediately.

It was worth the wait and I will not encourage you to give up halfway. Congratulations are in order for you as you begin your step to register with SWE. Goodluck!


MY TOP TIPS:

▫️Never print your documents in black and white copies. Colour copies are the only acceptable copies
▫️It’s always a good idea to keep in touch with your referees, professional body and school and request them to respond to the email from SWE promptly
▫️Make sure you provide a valid email address, as all the communication regarding the application is done over email
▫️On their website they requested police report, but I didn't submit any so I guess its not compulsory. I also used statement of account downloaded from email so no need of going to the bank.

I love the Knowledge on this thread and how PeaceJoyLove sees solutions to many problem Nice one . But what I just feel is that Saturation will always occur but not in the next 10yrs IMO we still have a very few number of people in tech to think of Saturation at this point

If the child is yours,pls take care of the child. But to be sincere with you, you did something terrible by having an affair with someone whose wedding was 5 days away. If someone did that to that lady u are about to marry now, would u be happy? Treat others the way you want to be treated. Konji can not kill anybody. I have never seen or heard someone that konji killed.
Go to church,ask for forgiveness from God and amend your ways.

To others who are hoping to get Sponsored jobs too. Please let me share a few tips that might help.

1. Download the CV app and register duly and make every experience be it internship or volunteer jobs count. Also be very sure of the referees you will be using for your CV cos they will be contacted before you can be issued your offer letter when you eventually get the job. Also I would advise that you download a sample CV in your job field and follow the templates. Your CV matters a lot and is almost like the master key that will unlock every other doors Of your career progression.

2. After you have successfully built a good CV, good on Apps like Indeed, TotalJobs, Glassdoor and NHS websites and register. Then upload your CV. Some of these websites have assessments that you would be needing to complete and indeed even gives the option to write a cover letter. That’s like a golden opportunity to sell yourself. Please do notices that.

3. Now in order to avoid applying to multiple job openings that you are qualified for but can’t get because they don’t have Tier 2 sponsorship license. You can go to Gov.uk and check the lengthy list of licensed sponsors. Write the employers that fit in your field then go back to Indeed and the other apps and just input the names. It will for sure bring out available job openings and you start sending in your applications.

4. In my case I made it a point of duty at a point to apply to 10jobs in a day. Yes it was stressful and at some point I gave up and trust me that was when I got the call. Matter of fact I I did 2 interviews in one day and got the both jobs. At some point i felt I was wasting time and it seemed almost impossible considering my level of education and all even my sister told me to give up but God showed up.

5. While waiting you can get your Naric assessments ready as it lasts for a lifetime and you would need it for English proficiency or better still do IELTS exams. To avoid any form of delay after getting your CoS.

You can also do your TB tests as people are finding it so difficult to book test dates and the result is Valid for just 6 months And of course except you lose focus you would have gotten a headway around the Job issue before the expiration. The only problem here is just that you would be needing a UK address while filling the form.

You will also be needing a police certificate but you can easily get that at Alagbon and you can’t apply for it pre employment because it is only valid for 3 months and

6. lastly and most importantly get your funds ready. A lot of these employers are not ready to pay for anything. They even see the CoS as a huge favor which sadly is in this part of the world. So you need to get your funds ready CoS agencies are “bombarding” them with applications but I think they just stretch out to select random applications here and there. So once they see you are dragging your matter, they move on to the next eligible candidate.

Let opportunities meet you prepared at all times. Especially since it’s Japa season and everyone is looking for a way to legitimately escape this Buhari’s wahala and secret achievements� Please I’m open to more hindsights as I still have a lot of people who want to try this visa route too.
God will see us all through ��
