If switching within same uni and same faculty they might be able to accommodate and do a direct switch over. However, in this case the, he will have to secure an admission for Nursing or social works before before quitting the present one and they might request him to return to Nigeria and reapply for the new course (if going to different uni and since admission period is over). 20nat: Hi
Seeking advise for a friend. Upon arrival in uk he decided he does not want to study a Msc in Biochemistry anymore but would like to switch over to Nursing or social work.Is he allowed to change schools? How will this affect his Visa? Does he need approval from the university and does he need to notify the home office?
His wife and child were supoose to join him once he settles but he is thinking of putting that on hold till he knows were he stands.
He wants to start applying for September intake.
Thanks |

This is what made my cousin get an £50 fine that year. Yeah you need to buy daily, weekly or monthly bus pass at the station or better still pay at entry with contactless. Those 2 companies don’t work together unfortunately so you have to buy different tickets just like avanti and london midland trains teeebest: Elders, please how does bus transportation work up north. I stay in Peterlee. Do I need to buy tickets ahead before boarding or I can just pay in the bus like normal danfo in Naija lol? .
Secondly, Is there a ticket that works for all service providers like arriva, stagecoach etc? |

Generally, if you have a degree in the UK u don’t need to prove that you can speak English, ur degree certificate shld be tenable and enough. Dee2016: If you studied up to undergrad abroad and masters in UK. Got done and went back home. How do you prove your English when applying for visa? |

This makes perfect sense Ticha: get all the tenants on one tenancy - that means they are all liable and if one leaves, the rest are responsible for the full rent and bills |

As a biomedical Scientist in the U.K. u don’t necessarily need a cv, all u need is a good profile on trac.jobs which you will be using to make applications. However, if u really need one u can create based on the information on your trac.jobs profile. I can review ur profile for free and help arrange a convincing personal statement to land a job. Also, I will recommend this training for you https://labmedexpert.com/training/individual-training although it is far from Sheffield but if u can sacrifice to do the training, u can get job almost immediately as a locum staff. If you were registered with MLSCN in Nigeria, I suggest you start your HCPC registration now and when it’s done you can apply for jobs as HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist. eolme: cc Omopapa Good morning. I arrived the UK ( Sheffield ) on Friday on dependant Visa and I don't wish to work as a carer. I am a medical laboratory scientist but not yet gotten my HCPC licence, are there other healthcare jobs I can do? Please I need suggestions on online training I can do to boost my CV. Also what will likely be the cost for a professional to review my CV? Thank you |

It’s for marketing purpose, so that they keep getting calls to build their database of prospective clients and bombard you with cold calls, emails, messages or even sell you data to “have you ever had accident in the last year” guys CheesyTee: There is a place to filter out houses that have been rented out especially on Zoopla, openrent and rightmove. If you check the apartments, most carries "let agreed" once it's off-market.
They don't delete because of reactivation when tenants move out, I suppose.

1. Apply for provisional licence https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-provisional-driving-licence (you must have lived legally in the uk for atleast 185days) 2. Buy, download and practice the questions in the Official DVSA Theory Test Kit for £4.99 from AppStore. There are other free versions but I recommend the paid one https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/official-dvsa-theory-test-kit/id4632959253. Book the theory test for car and motorcycle, costs £23 https://www.gov.uk/book-theory-test you need to get 43 out of 50 questions correctly to pass 4. Book the driving practical test for £75 at https://www.gov.uk/book-driving-testPrior to this, you shld have had atleast 40-45 hours of driving lessons as a new driver or just couple of lessons to brush up ur skills if you have been driving from abroad. NB: A manual licence lets you drive automatic cars but automatic licence doesn’t let you drive manual. 5. Congratulations you have passed your driving and your provisional licence would be exchanged for a FULL UK license. Jara: Next step is to search for suitable insurance policy here �confused.com ibk5891: Thank you for your comments. Very helpful. Do you know the process of getting a uk drivers license. |

The issue is that you have been sending CVs out by ursef. I think what you shld do is register with recruitment agencies in ur area, pay them to trained you and sort ur DBS. They will probably send you out for unpaid shift for one or two days to get practical experience before they send you out to make money for yourself. Otherwise, do the DIY method by doing the training online and watching YouTube videos but u will still need reference to land a job. Also, while your waiting to land a job, maybe it will be a good time to start making plans on getting a uk license as it seems most companies now prefer to hire a carer that drives. ibk5891: GUYS I NEED HELP!
I'm about 2 weeks in UK with wife n 2 kids
Just finished my quarantine and ready for work life.
Sent out numerous CV for care worker/assistant role.
Got couples of calls, but they keep asking for at least 1 month UK experience. Some even ask if am moniker and have driving license.
Need guys with experience to tell me how to go about this asap.
Need to start making some money ASAP.
Aside from the care home jobs, I need recommendation of a credible security training outfit that I can take up their course for SIA License.
Thank you guys. |
