Thanks for your help.. But that would mean. I might have to be a social worker right?.. I checked again and human resource management is on the csol list.. And it's assessed by AIM AUSTRAlia. What would be the implication of that for me?
Also ECU didn't require IELTS so I didn't take it.. Implication of that also..
I am fully aware of HR being on CSOL list but you still need positive assessment before you can apply for PR. And to get positive assessment from either AIM or VETASSESS, you need work experience. Where do you intend to get experience from? Perhaps, you have mind to go back to Nigeria to get it. It is really hard to get work experience in your field in Australia after study unless you are either PR holder or a citizen. Why not go for a course that doesn't require experience, that all you need is to gather your points and scale through the hurdle of PR? I THINK A WORD IS ENOUGH. Many international students that came over here did not know this until they locked themselves in and then it was too late for them.

I hope it helps.

@NNBB2012.
I will like to confirm
If one has a skill on csol list from bachelor's degree and doing a masters by research presently in a field under csol. Can one switch to PR while studying? Since the field is on csol list.
Secondly the vetassess ssessment how many years does it have before it expires?
Kindly reply.

Thanks a millions.. And your immeasurable help.. I have two additional questions for you..

1. How do I get a list of courses that do not require experience for accessment?

2. Is it that I won't be able to get a job without PR or it will be hard?

3. What if the company allows me to work temporarily for like a year or two? I'm aware Australia will give you a three year-working visa to gather experience if you study for 2years at graduate level and mine is 2.4 years..

Thanks.
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by chuckdee13(m): 7:15am On Mar 23, 2016
oh!...I guess I'll just use it like this then cos with or without extra marks I'll still need to write PTE. thx alot.
oknee:


If you are applying for remark, then you can't use it until you get the final report.
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by chuckdee13(m): 7:16am On Mar 23, 2016
Yea thats so true. Thx alot for the advice.

You could use the IELTS to apply for EA assessment right away, while you register and take the PTE-A.
In the time taken to wait for the IELTS re-marked result (about 6 weeks or more), you would have gotten your EA assessment completed via fast-track, EOI submitted and maybe invitation received even.

Yes, it is very possible to switch your visa to PR while studying. The validity used to be 2yrs, however, immigration department only accept maximun 3yrs validity of an assessment outcome.

Few points to note when selecting a course to study in Australia, if you are keen of PR at end of your study:
-Ensure you select a course that is relevant to the occupation on the list.
-Check if the course you intend to study is accredited by the relevant authority.
-If you do not have work experience, make sure you do a course which occupation may not require work for an assessment. Most occupations that Vetassess assesses require at least 1 year work experience.
-Do not believe of what somebody has told you until you check these things by yourself. Many end-up changing courses after discovering that their courses are irrelevant in Australia.
-If you have experience and your occupation is on the list, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on study but rather pursue your PR.

Need to keep quoting this because agents in Nigeria keep misleading people.

Nobody has a compiled list of courses that do not required experience for an assessment. What you need to do is to check any course you want to do to see if it is accredited by relevant assessing body. And also check if the occupation requires experience or not. I only know few such as Nursing,Radiography,Social Works,Accounting,Engineering etc.
Nothing is impossible but just that the reality is that they need you to either be PR holder or citizen before they give you opportunity. I know two people on student visa that are working full-time in multinational companies.
You will get 2yrs post-graduate visa if you study MSc-2yrs coursework. It is only MSc by research that you will get 3yrs.

Bro, so u mean It's not a must that someone should have a work experience before s/he can get PR.. The main reason why am going through study route is coz I don't have work experience in Engineering but I studied chemical engineering.

You don't need work experience to get a PR as long as you can fetch 60 points without it and your assessment body doesn't require it. You don't necessarily need work experience to get positive assessment from Engineers Australia as long as you can write your 3 career episode from your school projects and industrial training. ..

Lawland has rightly answered you. Your study will only fetch you 5points provided that you meet the Australian study requirement, which is 2yrs. I will rather spend money on English test and get 20points rather than spending that amount on one MSc here bro. The MSc fee that you pay is what you need as deposit to buy a house in Australia.

With you BSc Philosophy, you should easily get MSc Social works-qualifying admission. You are guarantee of a positive assessment after the program.

You only need 10points more to be eligible for state nomination. And with your ielts result, you can proceed for your assessment provided that you have nothing less than 6.0 in any module of your ielts. Try PTE-A and see if you can improve your English result. You need nothing less than 65,65,65,65 in it.

hello house,
I applied to Edith Cowan with my BSC last week,I just received a mail saying I do not meet the requirements as my bachelors degree is assessed as Australian diploma (probable cause is, I did IJMB Alevel so my BSC is three years).
The question now is, WHAT DO I DO?
