Viruses:


Like Lexus stated, as it's mostly used as taxi, it signifies reliability and comparatively cheap maintenance. However, it is not advisable to purchase used EV/hybrid except you can guarantee the battery's health.

I can buy a 2010 petrol/diesel car now and use it for another 10 years if I choose to. But for an EV/hybrid especially the plug in hybrid, once the battery has passed it's life span, it can be very expensive to replace.


Exactly my fear. It seems enticing but I’m skeptical about the long term maintenance.

The health of the hybrid system......... This should be your ultimate concern........ It's a very good car........ If a vehicle is synonymous with taxi service, it signifies two things (ultimate reliability and cost of ownership)......

Thanks for your input. So there’s really no way to know if the battery of such car is in mint condition

Good evening everyone.

Please I would like to ask if Toyota Prius(Hybrid) between 2010 -2014 is a good car for personal use. I tend to see it used as taxis and not for personal use.
Is it a good car to own? Ps: purchasing a used one.
If yes, what should I look out for?
I would appreciate your input as well @Oga lexus

Thought so as well.
Since It’s not a job that involves payment it should be fine.

@ReesheesuKnack

Keyword: VOLUNTEER.
Key consideration: 20 hours per week.

So does this mean it’s okay as long as the person doesn’t go past the 20hrs/week rule?

Hello Everyone,

Please is it legal for someone currently under COS as a support worker to volunteer in another job that’s not in the healthcare sector? e.g Admin roles etc

Once you get ILR, you will qualify for a Nursing apprenticeship if Nursing is calling out to you. That way you learn and earn.

@Ticha Thank you for the reply.

Will have this at the back of mind.

Hello Everyone,
I just joined this space a few weeks back. I have some questions and would appreciate peoples suggestions to this.

I am currently a Healthcare support worker under sponsorship. I also acquired a Masters in Management from UK, but this course didn't come with a placement. Now I am seriously worried about being in the healthcare field for a lonnnnggg time. I don't mind sacrificing 5 years to achieve ILR and then look for professional jobs afterwards.

Can anyone suggest Legit certifications I can enrol in to help switch careers to either a Project coordinator or Project Manager. Any career advise that could help me?
PS: I have applied for volunteering roles in administrative sector just to gain experience and add this to my CV, no luck with this.

My longest work experience was in the Administrative field before I got to the UK and dived into Support.

I have thought of doing Nursing after getting ILR because I sometimes find myself enjoying my current job. However, I'm not 100% keen on paying another money for a masters degree when I currently have one I paid hugely for and I haven't used.

I hope volunteering in another field different from my COS is allowed?

Hello everyone.
Thank you for your constant updates and information on this page.

Please I would like to know if there’s any restrictions with adding an extra bathroom to a purchased home? So, I have been seeing nice and affordable 3 bed and 4bed houses but the wahala is the 1 bath that comes with it 😅. I was wondering if it is possible to buy this type of house and then have builders fix or create an extra bathroom in such houses? Is this allowed?
