im in Brisbane pm u now

I responded to your pm with my e-mail.

.

I also had an HND and an MBA from Nigeria. My MBA was assessed positively. Pls give it a trial.

Sincerely, your own case seems to be straight forward because of your MBA which is an AQF level 8 in Australia. On your own, check if ACCA is equivalent to AQF level 7 or 8 in Australia. I would also advise you to pay for their advisory path just to be sure if you would be given positive assessment. It is cheaper and quicker than the actual assessment.

You can read the requirement of Internal Auditor from the link below.

MASMEK2016:
I need your direction as regards my situation
Qualifications:HND BUS ADMIN AND ACCA (UK)
Experience :6 years accounting and Auditing experience
Age:29 years
I currently study at the University of Newcastle,Australia.
I want the gurus in the house to advice me on route to PR.
I intend to send my credentials to VATESSESS for assessment.
Please house kindly advice.

What programme are you pursuing at University of Newcastle? You won't get positive assessment from Vetassess with this qualifications mentioned above since what is required is minimum Australian Bachelor degree equivalent. HND is equivalent to 2yrs Advanced Diploma in Australia not even 3yrs Associate Degree. Do not waste your money at this juncture. The best thing is to ensure you do a MSc or Australian Bachelor degree before you can be assessed positively by Vetasses.

E- family.....its a long journey from part 1 to this page. Been reading up and gathering information. Thanks to you all. Been in touch with @mpop and she has been very helpful.
I just have few questions to ask. My husband recently applied to RMIT (Master of Engineering Management) and Griffith (Master of Engineering Project Management Advanced) for June/ July intake. He didn't write the English test as it was stated in the transcript that the course was taught in English( B. Eng Electrical Electronics(Uk) and Instrumentation and Automation HND/ OND Certificate(Nigeria).

@Demi10 @Adetoi01 @chi50 @ada4ada @mpop @all

1) how long does it take to get offer letter from RMIT and Griffith?

2) at what point will they call us for interview?

3) Will you advise he still seat for the English test for visa purposes?

4) Do you advise we apply together or we apply after he has left? Myself and daughter won't be joining him now till next year.

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

He should apply for PR instead of applying as a student. It is very expensive.

Wow! So that means I don't have enough experience to nominate chemical engineering. I appreciate your response. In the MSA booklet its stated that u need to provide documentary evidence of employment used in career episodes...I don't have evidence of one of my IT's I'll like to use,should I ignore this one or its something they can waive? I'm really sorry about my incessant questions but I really need to get this right. Thanks in advance.

You don't need it.

mPop:


hello sir, please where in australia are you? pls i need ur email

Hello, I live in Sydney and what about you? You can pm me.

chuckdee13:
Thx for ur response. I have less than 3 yrs...about 1.5 yrs. I studied petroleum engineering in my undergrad so I dont have chemical engineering projects during undergrad. So me using my chemical (precisely process) engineering projects during my post sch experience will cause complication/mismatch of duties when I nominate chemical engineer?
Sorry for asking again I just wanna be really sure when I nominate. Thanks so much.

I will advise you to stick to Petroleum Engineer and write your cdr on experience gained during your IT or any related to Petroleum Engineering so that you can nominate Petroleum Engineer. Be aware that your 1.5yrs experience in Chemical Engineering will not fetch you any point. Just avoid complication otherwise you might be given Engineering Technologist. They are two different occupations.

chuckdee13:
NNBB2012 and other EA gurus

On second thoughts I think my question might benefit someone else here. I studied petroleum engineering and I have experience in chemical engineering. So in my CDR, my career episodes will be predominantly chemical engineering (ie one for petroleum and two for chemical). Please which occupation should I nominate in order to get a positive assessment from Engineers Australia?

Thx for ur response

How years of experience do you have? If you have less than 3yrs in Chemical, I would suggest you should just base your CDR on Chemical engineering projects you did during your undergraduate years so as to avoid complication/mismatch of duties and just nominate chemical engineer.

mrkayodeoludare:
Thanx a lot bro. I didn't know spouse's edu fetched points...thought it was only english test. In my wife's case It's HND.....

Spouse qualification regardless whether PhD/MSc/BSc/HND WON'T give you an extra 5points unless if the occupation is assessed by an Assessing body and in the same list with the principal's occupation.

Partner skills
You can receive five points if, when you are invited to apply for this visa, your partner provides evidence that they:
were under 50 years of age
had at least competent English
had nominated an occupation on the same skilled occupation list as your nominated occupation
had been assessed by the relevant assessing authority as having suitable skills for the nominated occupation.

teflondon77:


Wow what do i do now guys? all the Msc programs that i can opt for are just 1.5 years.. does this mean i cant get any kind of visa after my 1.5 years of study and must ultimately come back home? please help a brother from making a really bad decision.

What program are you going for? What's your background? You could go for an extra semester to make it 2yrs. You do another program entirely.

johnHadey:

u will get ur post study 458 visa with ease, 1.5years qualifies u for 1.5yrs post study...u can go the P.R route too as long as ur occupation is nominated.
I had to modify this pls..due to a call to wrong info..

its actually subclass 485, and u are entitled to 2yrs post study visa if u av fufilled at least 16 calender months of study. U can get more info here..
https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/485-#

1.5yrs does not qualify you for post-study visa. This is stated clearly from the link you misquoted from. To be eligible for post-study visa, you need to do 2yrs of academic study.

Bambizzle4k4556:
good day all.
I just finished my masters in control engineering and came
back to Nigeria but I have not had job experience. I worked
as a health care worker in UK and still got my training
certificates. I was thinking of applying for another masters
in australia. maybe masters by research but I feel it's waste
of money. I need your advice. without experience can I
apply for PR. is there any agent I need to go through? or
should go ahead and apply for another masters? thanks

You do not need to apply for another Master in Australia. You are eligible for PR because of your Engineering degree. Read previous posts on this thread and you will be able to do it yourself. If you need to consult an Agent, you will definitely be charged.

jorgan:


This minimum 2 years thing is disturbing o, mayb I should just jejely stay in naija and continue my life because my course is for a year, no need to waste 4 million plus. I saw somewhere dat it's minimum of 6 months. Mehn I m gutted right now

It is important for you to understand what you want to do before you take steps with respect to your study.
Studying in Australia does not automatically lead to PR, you just need to earn the points although it may contribute to points provided that you meet Australian study requirement. If you study a course that is not on the skills occupation list, it won't lead to PR if at all you spend years doing that.

There are two streams of Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485): Graduate-work stream (18months) and Post-study work stream ( 2yrs-4yrs) depending on your degree.
To be eligible for graduate-work stream, you need to meet Australian study requirements which minimum of 2 academic years or 16months of study or 92 weeks of study. And also the course has to be recognised and you need to obtain positive assessment from the respective assessing body. To gain positive assessment alone, most assessing bodies require minimum of 1 yr experience. Meanwhile, you will earn extra 5 points for studying in Australia and points for studying in regional area which is a plus for you.

Likewise, to be eligible for post-study work stream, you need to meet Australian study requirements which minimum of 2 academic years or 16months of study or 92 weeks of study at minimum BSc level. However,this one does not require an assessment. You will get the following years: BSc/MSc/MSc ext-2yrs,MSc by research-3yrs and PhD-4yrs.

So, think very well before you choose a particular course. Do a course that will ultimately lead to jobs after and that helps you get your PR.

My lecfurer/prof wants to sponsor me and also the medical body for students can I attached both please be aware I had been refused twice though for another subclass which doesn't permit traning

I do not see that as an issue provided there is sufficient fund in the accounts.

My bachelor degree B.Tech computer Science.
One more clarification, when I check through the SOL, I discovered that Telecommunication network engineer role best describes my work experience 95%, but the assessing authority is EA, I called to find out since my bachelor is not in engineering, they emailed me to send my CV and transcript which I did and they later replied me that they cannot access me that I should try ACS. But the only code that describes my job experience 60% as accessed by ACS is computer network and system engineer. I have sent ACS an email also to clarify if they are the right body to assess me.

I am also aware of the 2 or 4 years deduction by ACS

Please all IT gurus in the house. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

As you had been rightly advised by EA, they cannot assess your qualification. The best thing to do is to approach ACS and make sure you support your application with enough supporting documents. Your experience must reflect what it is expected form the occupation you are nominating. I can assure you that you would get positive assessment outcome from ACS with about 2years reduction in your years of experience which will still earn you 10points at least in experience. Your points will still be more than enough to get invitation for 189 visa. Congrats, you have an impressive points.

kunlenchy:


Yes I have done my English test with a overall score of 7.5.
Had L7.5, R7.5, S8.0, W7.0.
My nominated occupation is Computer Network & System Engineer.

See the break down of my points to make 70
Age - 32 score 30 points
English - ielts 7 proficient - 10 points
Work experience - 9 years - 15 points
Education - Bachelor of Technology - 15 points.

That's the breakdown.

Please house I need information from experienced PR holders how they went about submitting their visa procedure.

Thanks

Your Bachelor degree is in what?
