So i will share my experience. I got in Oct 17th 2020, I happen to be a software engineer and i can say that there are lots of opportunities in Software engineering once you know the craft and got some good experience.
Wow congratulations!!

Did they factor in the 20hrs/week stuff?

Good morning everyone. Please I need your advice here. I have a BSc in Microbiology, one year work experience as an administrative Assistant ( NYSC). 21years of age. Please will you advice me to go to the UK for masters in International human resources management or process PR to Canada. What can I do to boost my CRS apart from French which might take long time.
I'm thinking of applying for PR from the UK after mater's but I don't know how hard that will be considering Part time job can't be counted as part of work experience.
Please advice me house process PR to Canada to just go to the UK for masters. Thank you

My OPINION:
Generally, people from my part of the world do not eat frogs/toads.
A common saying; If you must eat frog, look for nice, juicy and fat one.
See that course (bolded), it’s a thin, miserable, ugly and croaky frog... strictly my opinion.

Don't waste your time with this course.
If you have the funds to pay for a masters, choose something else, preferably in the STEM world which you already inhabit by virtue of your first degree.
If you're 21, you have a very good chance at securing Express Entry and since emigration is your aim, I'd advise you focused on that too in tandem with any other option you might be considering.

Though I'm yet to print out my bank statement, the address on it is different from the address I'll fill in my visa application (the one in my tb test certificate). Reason is that that's my current address. I might not be able to update my address with my bank because I don't have access to any utility bill for now.

Will that raise any red flag?

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I hope to arrive in January for a masters in Software Engineering.
Not sure it will be the same thing for you because you will be on 20hr/week. He can do this because he’s the dependent. He has unlimited working hours.

I am more of .Net MVC,.Net Core,Angular and React Js guy. Honestly i think there are lots of roles for different stacks. My coding test was to analyse a set of data, create a schema around it, perform some CRUDE operations around it, created a UI and there were marks allocated to proper coding standards around it and further additions and effizy wink you can add that earns you extra points. But the Q&A was alot around .Net/ Core, Architecture and Behavioural questions.

Thank you. Congratulations on your new role.
I didn't know how popular C# was until I started seeing them in 90% of job searches.

Guys, if there’s anyone here that studied Biochemistry, microbiology or any biological science related courses and looking at coming to the UK to further their studies, I’d advise they complete a topup module to upgrade their BSc to uk standard. Do a 5 weeks additional training and start applying for jobs. I think it’s quicker and cheaper than the MSc route in the long run.

I had same problem when I did my visa application. My bank statement address was different(entirely different far away states) from current address and I could not change it within the limited time I had. I got the visa.
So I don't think it matters much if other factors are ok. Though,it may be sensible if you mention a link to the state of the previous address like a previous job or schooling.

It may be worth asking your bank what other bill they will accept as proof of residence.
I eventually updated with a security receipt from the neighbourhood watch. cheers

the updated statement was what I used as the address for my dbs certificate. Now that it has crossed your mind,update it. you never know.

Hello wonderful People.

Please I need guidance for a Nigerian Chartered Accountant who will be coming to work in the UK, wife is a health worker who already secured a job and resides in the UK.

1. What are the necessary courses or exams he needs to take for a good career start,

2. what are his chances of moving his career ahead in the UK.

3. Is there a support group or social media threads he can follow for proper guidance and mentorship.

Thank you.

Hi,

He may and may not need to retrain or register with a UK body. It depends on a combination of factors. There are wide range of professions opportunities for a chartered accountant. Finance, Risk, Audit, Business management etc.

What is he doing at the moment? Industry, years of experience, specific skillset etc

What are his career plans?

How does coming to the UK fit into his long term career plan?

How flexible and adaptable is he?

Please, out of curiosity, may I inquire why you said not to "waste time on this particular course". I acknowledge your later advice though, PR is more important but I thought HR also falls under the shortage occupation list in UK hence why I applied for this course as against M.sc Management? Do I need to be worried? I would appreciate if you can throw more light on this. Thanks

It's a highly generic course that you dont need a degree to work in that field ..... meaning having a master wont give you an edge or make it easier for you to enter.

Quick question, please.
A friend of mine would have her certificate mailed from the UK as she has been awarded a degree. She has been asked to choose a courier service: either DHL or Royal Mail. The DHL would offer a tracking service, which would cost her £20 while the Royal Mail wouldn't offer a tracking service.

Would you advise she use Royal Mail instead of DHL as her certificate would reach her still or she should use the DHL service?

It’s like your sweet friend doesn’t like her certificate. Royal Mail will handover to NIPOST. So do the maths.
