@ bammy2
Your situation looks delicate. I had something similar, although direct entry to year 2. i mailed EA and they asked me to submit all my transcripts from the different programs during application. They also stated that the course transcript is what is assessed. Yours is 3rd year entry, you can mail EA to confirm directly to get a more accurate response. Here is their mail:

my agent told me that Australia no more accept work visas from Nigeria..

There's really no agent that can help you get a work visa from Nigeria in the first place. So that they NO MORE accept is just a lame excuse to free you. Lolz

how else can one apply for a work in Australia...
I have assumptions that you are searching for an easy and or quick way to enter Australia. My advice is be patient and take time to explore the various temporary work visas on DIBP's Website OR consider this PR Route as you'll observe that it's not taking too long as before. Oh well, it also depends on your field sha.

All the best.

Please I studied Electrical Engineering (BSc) but I have 5 years of experience in Oil and gas servicing (Precisely MWD). I saw Electrical Engineering in SOL but Petroleum engineering has been removed. I know I am not a petroleum engineer but I want to be sure Skills Assessment Authorities will not think I am because I provide services to oil and gas companies. Also, I cannot see any occupation in the SOL that matches my occupation in the oil and gas servicing sector.

I will need to claim points for Skilled Employment and that is why I want this confusion cleared at this stage.

Please what do experts here advise?

Points breakdown so far: Age (30 points); English (10 points); BSc (15 points Not sure).

I plan to apply for Visa Type: Skilled - Independent (Subclass 189) (Permanent).

bellong:

Advanced diploma... 10 points

Result of IELTS of 4th March, 2017 have just been released. I had a near perfect score which recently expired. Surprisingly, my scores in this latest test is unbelievable, it is ridiculous. How can one go from LRWS 8/9/8/8.5 to 7/6.5/7/6.5 in just about 2 years? Please note that I lived in the UK for the better part of those 2 year period. "I'm not understanding".
Is someone there cooking up scores? If that is the case then IELTS in Nigeria is a scam.

chidike:

Lmao! what bro code are you aligning with biko? Even though say you don get your grant, I would have said in such situations, argue for both sides and ultimately say that one's gender does not make him/her a better leader. I'm sure the woman go don x you, how do you give such an answer to woman wey dey interview you.
