Is this PTA the same as BTA?

naledis:
I called my GTB account manager. He said PTA sales are yet to resume and even when it does, PTA is not available for one-way travelers

Did mine on the 27th of August in Abuja

Aprokodaughter:
Please when was your interview/biometrics?

Got a mail yesterday about deferred complex. Got another mail today that I have a telephone interview tomorrow. Who has done telephone interview should help me out with what I should expect. This is really frustrating. Supposed to have resumed yesterday, haven't paid for accomodation or booked my flight because of this visa delay. Na WA o!

Congratulations. Received a similar email about deferred complex yesterday and I was worried.

I don't really know how to write much but I will give a download of my journey so far.

Decision to study came in April after a month in lock down. I just told myself that I must achieve something during this lockdown. So the inspiration came to me to look into studying in the UK. I asked here about nursing and someone advised that I go for post graduate degree in adult nursing. Lo and behold, I started contacting schools, but one of the school agents was very frank with me that I am not likely going to get a place in Nursing, due to the fact that my degree was in ccomputer-mathematics and the class of degree was not fantastic, coupled with the fact that I don't really have an experience in the care sector.
So I came to a conclusion that since I am a teacher, why not try to further my career in teaching. So I started looking into teacher training in the UK. I applied to about six schools through UCAS TT, was rejected by 5 schools. the last school decided to consider me for interview.
It was during the interview that grace started speaking for me. I was offered a place in PGCE primary with maths. Na so the journey began...
part of the conditions to be met was GCSE equivalence in English. This was because my degree was over 10 years. I started studying for this exam, and I finally wrote the exam and passed. So my conditional offer turned unconditional, after meeting other conditions like the occupational health check and police report.
Now to CAS application - another struggle entirely...
After passing the pre-CAS interview, the CAS refused to come. Therefore, after disturbing their international office, they linked me up with one of their agents that deal with their Nigerian students. This agent was very helpful. He practically had to start disturbing the CAS team in order to get my CAS, which later came out by August 14.
After submitting application on line on 18th August, to now get appointment for biometrics was difficult, but I later got for 30th September; for a course that will start 2nd September.
Well I went for walk-in as advised by the agent (20th August).
That day was not it at all (shake my head). The attendants just decided not to take walk in again (after travelling all the way down to Lagos only to be told no walk-in again). Come and see as I dey pray ehn.
Long story short sha... they decided to be asking for resumption date and date of appointment. I just shouted "my resumption date is 2nd September." They asked for my CAS, which I showed them, and also my appointment date.
I was now allowed with another guy whose resumption was 7th September.
My interview there was brief, was asked just 4 questions, and that was all.
Fastforward (two weeks later)...
3rd September - Deferred – complex mail. Whatever that means.
As if that was not all, I just received a call from the home office Tuesday morning asking for another interview (see me see wahala) - after asking my school to extend my enrolment deadline; classes had started and annoyingly I couldn't access the course materials because I was not enroled due to the fact that I don't have a visa.
We sha had the interview. The interviewer asked me about 12 questions, ranging fro why I chose the course, to how I got the funds, my current job, my hubby's job, my relatives in the UK, what they do, their status, my future plans, how I would go about it, and so on.
Omo come and see panicking and nervousness. The interview actually threw me off balance.
When the passport collection mail dropped, my heart just skipped at that moment cos I didn't know what to think again.
I didn't even believe I would be granted, even while collecting my passport until I saw the acccompanying letter.
Above all, it has ended in praise for me.

All glory, honour and adoration belong to GOD ALMIGHTY. No one can share His glory

iamosamede55:
I struggled to write the test.. my timer kept counting down.. was only able to access like 6 questions.. which were mainly series then one permutation question... Any at the end of the day I got an immediate response that I failed. Thier reason was that I did not read my instructions that I was only meant to answer question 17 correctly. . That it's a test of your ability to pay attention to details.
