Thanks. Sort of, though not at the first instance
So you were on a student or dependant visa when you applied? Sorry for the intrusion, I’m just curious as this is also in my near future plans

Please I need advise.

I'm coming in next week... I have excess luggage of 24kg..

Can I pay for excess weight at the airport and how much can it be?

Use a cargo company, send your excess luggage, prior to departure.........😂

It would save you money....., 💰

Go for governance/compliance roles. You don’t need to re-qualify for those.

Which particular sector will depend on your specific practice experience.

DM and I will try to assist with your applications.

Best of luck.
Thanks Koonbey. I'll definitely reach out

To add to this, just try learn the basics of excel if you don’t know it, it will really help.

One think I learnt is most of those employer will still train you on how to use the tools as most of them already have a set processes and guidance to follow.

Write to HCPC
Tell them about your intentions
They will be in the best position.
You should have chosen to study biomedical sciences for your masters but anyway just do as above.

Thank you.

I appreciate.

Embarking on another MSc after the present one is a cost I am not sure I can accommodate at this time though.

Is there any other way to onboard a nursing career or even a biomedical science career? I wouldn’t mind a lower band, provided it’s a pathway to sponsorship.

A lot of things still look sketchy on this journey and I really want to firm up my plans from the get go.

ok I see are you based outside England ? I don't know your circumstances you might as well expand your options to England so that you can get on the property ladder .
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Globalshaper: 8:10pm On Aug 18, 2023
Thanks a lot for this advice.

Yes, I had planned to enroll for MSc in Biomedical Science, but the government policy affected my deposit arrangements, hence I missed the deadline.

But I will write to HCPC as recommended.

I sincerely appreciate you.

Thank you!

I was able to book on the 17th of January 2024 at Peterborough center after some minutes changed to 5th of December 2023 Sevenoaks however I tried again but was blocked grin

How long does the blocking elapses?
How can I get a particular location?
How do I go about an instructor? I reside in Woolwich.

I plan to self study (YouTube) and then register for few hours lessons before the D_day if necessary
In between i have been driving here for about 3-4 months now

Please elders any hint or recommendations would be highly appreciated 🙏

24kg. Just get an extra luggage altogether and pay for it. Might be about N200k depending on the airline. Most airline may not take a single luggage weighing more than 32kg ish, so excess luggage would be about 10kg or less but "extra" luggage should work.

Not all Uni in the UK are IBMS accredited. If it's possible to cancel your admission and get a refund or switch to nursing

If I use Fara, it would be within the ₦70K mark......

Does it have to be air cargo........🤣😜

Ship 14 days before departure, and your goods would be waiting for you, before you arrive ......🤣
