Hello house, is it possible I write Ielts after assessment result is out,Vetasses cut down d number of years that I was hoping to get more points from. I have 50 points by calculation below,
Age 34- 25points
Qualification B.tech - 15 points
Years of experience - 9 years cut down to 7.8 years - 10points.
Please what is the next step,do I do state nomination or rewrite Ielts,though I already had one with total band of 6.5.?
Many thanks

A corporate Driver is urgently needed for immediate resumption if successful at the interview. Please send cv to bukolaa@crinigeria.com
Thank you.

FutureDon:
I am. PhD applications vary from Uni to Uni. All the advice that I will give will be based on my experience applying to the "big boys". Getting a supervisor may take days, weeks or even months depending on how prompt the Prof responds to emails. I remember receiving responses to some of my emails after I had already accepted an offer elsewhere.

Typically, the process include:
Find a supervisor
Discuss potential projects with the supervisor
Write a research proposal
Supervisor officially agrees if convinced that one is ready for the "game" ahead
Apply for admission and/or scholarship: In most cases, applications are first considered for admission (5weeks +) before onward consideration for scholarships (8wks +). For instance, one's application might be successful for admission but not for scholarship.

Most importantly, your first email needs to be "catchy". Also, it will be of importance to let them know that you'll be applying as a self-funded student as a lot of them consider funding before agreeing to act as a supervisor.

You are welcome to send me a PM if you have more personal questions to ask. I know there are 2 other PhD students on this thread, albeit missing in action, who might want to add one or two points.

Thanks alot ,I will do as you have advised. I hope to share my testimony too. Please could you assist if you can as per supervisor ...

Timikenzo2,

He should check the programs is he applying for if he meets the requirements. Requirements must be met before admission can be granted.

I will pass on d message,thanks a lot.

@ Belong,NNB2012 ,futuredon and others please I need advice for a friend. He initially applied for nursing in Charles Darwin,skol had gotten to their quota,agent advised him to do psychology, he got a visa refusal cos of home ties and initial degree in Nigeria (theatre arts)

Now, he is finding it very difficult to get admission. 3 schools have refused him. I know I read of somebody that got a grant after initial refusal here.

Please what is he not doing right,February resumption is almost here,but no skol admission yet. Please advice
.
Thanks all

FutureDon:
Iriferi, I hail you.

timikenzo2 I may be able to offer suggestions/advise based on my experience applying to PhD programs. I must warn you that it is a tedious process. Yes, there are scholarships but very competitive. I am not saying these to scare you but to sort of paint a picture of what lies ahead. Yes, you need to secure a supervisor before your app can be considered for admission/scholarship. I would contact as many potential supervisors as possible.

I am most grateful .....Are you on scholarship? I don't mind paying my fees.....just to know what the application process is like and how long it takes getting a supervisor. Can I drop my mail address ?

iriferi:
Hi, Futuredon can help put you through. Futuredon (boss) help this one abeg

@iriferi...thanks a lot.
Oga Futuredon......pls ur assistance will be highly appreciated. Thanksss

Hello house,please I need help. I am considering a PhD programme In Australia. How do I go about it? I saw some scholarships available, but I will also need a supervisor before school accepts my application.
Gurus in the house,please helppp. Many thanks

VETASSESS now provides a complete assessment, which includes points test advice. You don't need to pay separately. I did mine though with the last regime. And just after mine the rules changed and price went up. And be aware that they deduct 1 yr from your experience now.

Hello sir,as per the assessment,been trying to fill up the form via online as adviced ...but after filling up for employment,it has refused to take me to the next page.I have been on this since tuesday...pls is there any other means of filling up?or its a network problem? Many thanks

Wao...one year deduction ok thanks for the info.

bellong:
If the experience is in the same occupation you are claiming, I don't think you need to do it.

The point test advisory is only to advice CO that your experience aligns with chosen occupation for the number of years claimed and it is not binding.

Ok. Thanks.....but same occupation but different positions, does it matter,will the years of experience be affected?

bellong:
How many years of experience do you have?

Nysc - feb2006 to jan 2007.
Work started in August 2007 till date

NNBB2012:
Bellong has responded correctly. Kindly follow his instructions.

Yea...thanks a lot.

bellong:
Online application is the best bet for you. However, it is not attaching documents to email.

If you read the website well, there is a link to their online portal application. On it, you only need to scan original documents and upload. There is no need of certifying the documents.

You should choose migration assessment. If you want a point test advisory note, then you opt for the full assessment.

Thanks alot bellong....Do I really need the points test advisory?

@NNB2012 and all,pls guide me.I am about to submit to vetasses,am I supposed to scan all documents to the email adress Provided on their site.(is dat d definition of online application?) And is my assessement supposed to be called full skill assessment as there are various categories of assessment. Many thanks as I await your responses....

NNBB2012:
It would be great if you could get positive assessment from Vetasses with the occupation as health and safety advisor. You stand a better chance than HR adviser in that you could apply for 189 provided that you have the required points-60. Vetasses is your assessing authority for both occupations. Check their requirements and run with it.

Thanks a lot for the advice,am grateful.

Hello everyone...bosslady,NNB012 and others....
My occupation human resources advisor is on d csol,I ave decided to pick anoda close to it on d Sol list....occupational health and safety advisor.

Please help confirm if am in tune so far before I submit for assessment.

Your CO will contact you when he/she needs additional info from you or when he wants to give u the go ahead to do medicals. On their site it is stated that u can either do ur medicals before submission. I do not know for sure if u can go ahead now without ur CO saying so. Check again please to be sure http://www.immi.gov.au/Services/Pages/emedical.aspx

All you need do though is wait patiently. I submitted same day too and nothing yet. The wait can be terrible but.....

Hello missakomaiye,tanks for your response. Pls wat package did you apply for and wat skol,plus do you have dependants as part of your application? Many thanks
