1. Please edit, your question/sentence is not complete.
2. It is possible to work to augment your savings. Hopefully finding a job won't be too difficult but bear in mind that unemployment has increased due to COVID-19
3. Your school should have provided this information to you. If not, check your school website.
4. There's always prospect for jobs. Put in the effort and see if you find something. If you are looking for graduate roles, you must have started applying by now for September 2021 start. Leave it till November or December and things get more difficult.

That will be very difficult with kids and wife, the wife has to work full time while he works part time

Hang on. If he is paid 800k monthly in Nigeria, he must be experienced enough to apply for a job from Nigeria, he doesn’t need to come here to apply and IT is part of shortage list. The only problem is this might take time.

Another way would be the T1 route. He seems to be rich, he should check what he needs to sponsor himself through the T1 route (Technation visa).

justwise:


As a software developer he has a good chance of getting a job after graduation if he is good at it, with the two years post-study work permit program he will have enough time to make that decision.

He can come first then bring his family later.

tennyalad:
There are two main universities in Oxfordshire, if he's going to the ivy league one, he's will be in a position to choose any jobs he basically wants to do.

Depending on the dev language he's proficient in, he would probably make the same money he already makes in Nigeria here working part time during study and he's almost guaranteed to get a job post study that would probably lead to sponsorship.

I work in the industry and know how easy it is to extend an offer and hope the person starts before getting a better offer elsewhere.

justwise:


I suggest that he comes in first without his family to weigh up things then decide whether he can hack it in the UK.

Does he have kids?

Lol at the bolded. Yorubas will term this oro buruku t'on t'erin!!! On a serious note, IELTS is becoming a realer thorn in the flesh of real men and women. I can relate

And as @Listowell advised, pls your friend should locate the said agent like a woman would soup ingredients.

philaw:
is yours BC or MOD? COMPUTER OR PAPER BASED?

wifey successfully took IELTS test in Ibadan today. She is with enthusiasm and confidence. Hoping to hear goodnews in 2weeks time. She was happy that there was no Diagram in the Listening and Reading module, i hope that's a good sign or what do you think guys?

lasignor:
One of the 'two or more degrees' has to be a Bachelors degree. That's OINP requirement. They won't accept a diploma of even 3years. I won't advise you to proceed

MayorOfEdmonton:
Yes it is, especially for nouns(name, animal, place etc).

Erechi:

I don’t think listening Is case sensitive, but spelling errors is checked, also how to write time is important 9:00 pm not 9pm..also sometimes the pm or am is already provided especially in full in the blanks so just write the figure without the accompanying words( am or pm) this also applies to the money signs..

Erechi:

Is it computer based or paper based you are writing? If it paper then words there are not case sensitive but for all those 9 am and all, you need to put it exactly as it should be...I mostly used ieltsonlinetest for my listening and it was good for me got 8.5, also a section I practiced before on ieltsonlinetest was repeated in the exam! A whole 10 questions!!! So ieltsonlinetest was very very effective for my listening!

hillony:

Wahala dey o!

kennedychinedu:


Use ieltsonlinetests.com only for listening.
Do not I repeat do not use that site for reading. They are a different format. Use only Cambridge for reading module.

crespo67:
Thanks.. Well, the one I eventually passed, I prepared for it in one day, although I had prepared for and written the previous one less than two weeks prior to that time.I would say do your best, practice with Cambridge and https://ieltsonlinetests.com do the recent actual test for reading and listening. I think their listening are quite fast so it will train you to listen closer. For writing, you can contact Johnnybravo or Blissneye or Wasseynet or any of the verified writing tutors here. Some have a fee, others do for the love of God. In all, its not the length of time you take to practice. It's really about training your ears to listen attentively. I must tell you, luck is a big factor in passing this exam so pray you are lucky. All the best.
