Pls is there any suggestion of schools that can admit someone with a 3rd class bsc and 2:1 pgde for nursing post graduate ?

DMainMan:
Just go for any Masters degree course to bring your dependants.

No one cares of your experience or background. That is the law.

If you want to switch to do MSc Nursing course if you have no background related to medical science or care,

Then go to the following university. They accept any first degree course for MSc Adult Nursing. The program is for 2 years.

Thanks very much.
I will definitely put forward my application

justwise:
1. As long as you are going for undergraduate you will not be able to bring your family with you.

2. That money should be in your account before visa application, during visa application processing, after your visa is out and it should be available for you in the U.K for your own use.

Thanks.
Please can you suggest the cheapest institutions offering nursing after degree courses?

justwise:
1. Are you going for masters?

2. Do you have the money to meet dependant financial requirement?

If Yes is the answer to both questions then you got nothing to worry about

What if one already has a degree but wants to change career to maybe nursing, can one still bring in family?
Also for how long must the fund remain in one's account?

STENON:
Alright bro. Still working on the family friend application, Applied almost 2 months ago but he just got a full teaching licence to teach in UK yesterday which makes it easier for school to sponsor the tier2 visa. But still hopeful it'll be sooner than later.

I'm quite new on this thread.
Please I want to ask, if I have TRCN, Do I still have to go through the PGCE course in the UK before being recognized as a qualified teacher?

I also want to know if I will have to send my TRCN certificate to be assessed along with other credentials by UKnaric

Lastly, is it possible to secure a teaching job from Nigeria without TRCN?

Thanks for your response.

I’ve the biometrics enrollment number and expiry date on my profile . But on the list, it doesn’t show completed but instead it shows “request for biometrics” and it’s over 2months I completed biometrics

I think thé attachés image light ne useful for you. Copies from someone's PPR story

Having read postes about whether to bring up children un Canada or not, here's my take:
First thé moral upbringing of Evert child ils thé duty of thé parents ans not that of thé Scholl or any other person. Thé morals we have are as a résult of what our parents instilled in us. If you do not plant the right values in your children right from their formative stage, they will be easily influenced by their peers. When you send your child to the top notch schools, are they going to be taught the moral values?
Mind you Nigerians are not the only immigrants out there, we still have the Asians too, but they don't usually send their kids back home for training. It still amazes me how they do a good job in raising their kids, instilling their cultural values in their children.
If you say that you put your children in day care centres so as to be able to work different shifts, it's not different from Nigeria where you enroll your children in school as early as three months so that you can work, because there's no benefit for you; and then your child is there from 7:00 am till about 6:00 pm. So what's the difference?
We just have to weigh our options and we must have in mind that Nigeria of today is completely different.
Our parents passed down the values to us, let us pass them down to our children, that is our duty.

That's my take

I evaluated my hubby's mba from lautech with ices and we got a positive revuew - equivalent to masters. Report was in late june thereabout

ojsamuel:
Please
who's recently (from July till date) got his LAUTECH MBA evaluated with ICES? A friend just got a negative report (Program not recognised by the NUC)

I (and a lot of friends and colleagues) have earlier got a positive evaluation.

Quite strange.

Please which email did you use to send to british council? Mailer daemon keeps bouncing the mail i sent telling me failure to deliver.

SonsOfLiverpool:
I have removed the “-“ sign from the ref number and leave spaces there. In my mail to British council I explained, that should do.

Also, In their caveat, they said if the reference is not included, the transaction “may” not be processed. May not. I am ok with that since I actually did in the body of my mail.

Thanks buddy. Hopefully, it goes through.

Merci beaucoup

Mamaroon:
Apologies in advance ......don't know TCF criteria/ grille d'evaluation is e.g. word count, if you need to include address etc

My points:
You may want to include some pleasantries e.g. ca va? Since it is to a friend and an informal write up, ask after family, work or school before plunging into the invite.

Also for TEF, not sure of TCF, we are advised not to repeat words....use synonyms....find other words for aura and sera.

2nd line may be better will "qui aura lieu le ..... ", I was also advised to include the year when writing dates.

Also you might want to use some adjectives to qualify how wonderful the concert will be e.g vraiment, extremement etc

After writing, look over for spelling errors like line 3 ....dans

Line 6 might be better with "Beattles" in quotation marks.

All the best.

Please guys help me assess this task 1 essay of TCF

Hello Everyone,

Please for anyone who used ICES, please need clarifications concerning sending photocopies of credentials. Not sure if this is necessary, since they have been uploaded online. and if am meant to, can i send it together with the WAEC scratch card?

please i will really really appreciate a response.

Thank you

I used ICES. First ICES does not need WAEC. Also if you have uploaded your credentials online, you don't need to send photocopies again. And there is no need for WAEC scratch card.
I hope you have not applied for WAEC transcript for ICES?

Please help me to review this task 1 essay for TCF writing

for those that want to use ICES for their evaluation

Bonsoir a tous et a toutes,

First and foremost all the best in you exams @Bellerin, I believe even the TEF markers will know that someone took their exams from Nigeria on the day. Also best wishes to all the "silent" readers here as you silently take your exams.

On this TEF vs TCF matter, make me sef add my own 2 million Canadian Dollars on top.

I believe overall, it is easier to attain your goal with the TCF than with the TEF. I have written the TEF (awaiting results), and I am revising for TCF (just incase). My reason is simple and will be explained thus:

I can't agree less with you.

Having written TEF, and now preparing for TCF, I find TCF easier, but as you said the CO part is tricky. You listen once and part of it is also listening for the question.

but the clips are short with I think the longest being about 1 minute or so, if I am right

Hopeful123:
Thanks

thanks for sharing

Mamaroon:
One may argue though that perhaps TEF examiners are more liberal with marking and they may give 75% more freely that TCF examiners would give 65% or 50%.....just me overthinking these things as usual

.....but maybe something to consider for people who have not fully committed to either exam.

With what I read about TCF, the questions are on a scale, also are the scores. so the meaning of this to me is that higher level questions get higher scores. So I think one needs to practice more with the higher level questions.

Also from practicing, I noticed they start with the simpler ones before moving to the difficult ones.

Hello house,

Is there anyone who has attended classes from AF Ibadan, I want to ask if the classes in Ibadan are worth it and how many days/hours per week is the class

I attended alliance francaise in Ibadan October/November last year. And was placed in A2 class cos I had been self-studying prior to that time, but I couldn't communicate in french. within those two months, I was able to brush up and was able to sit for DELF exam. Their classes are worth it and they have good tutors.

I took the classes during the week which were between 9 am and 1 pm

For those saying IELTS bodies are using us to make money, I would say it is not entirely true. I wrote IELTS once and made it LRWS 8777.5.
I knew my weak areas, I wasn't good in the reading and I am not the writng type. So I had to prepare fully for two weeks by watching JAy's youtube videos and studying the essay structures on ielts advantage. I also practiced with cambridge 13

Let me get to my point, the number of people writing IELTS has increased in Nigeria over the years, but are we sure if the number of people marking the scripts have increased. So many factors contribute to not being assessed well.
The people marking the scripts are also human and they have a time frame for marking those scripts, now imagine someone who has not written legibly and expecting the examiner to strain his eyes so as to understand what he/she has written, coupled with the fact that he has a lot more scripts to mark, you can imagine what will happen to that script. Same thing goes for someone whose introduction is not very clear. And I believe there are some things these examiners look for in our writing.

That is why we have to prepare very well before the exam and pray also. Why do you think people have their scores upgraded, this is because errors can occur in marking, one should just pray that the error should not occur on his own script.

As a WAEC exxaminer I can tell you that examiners are not perfect, so that is why the scripts are vetted before WAEC does the final collation of scores. I have seen a situation where a student is supposed to score 40/70 but the examiner marked him to 20/70, but thankgully the script was one of the 10% to be vetted so after being assessed by another examiner it was upgraded to 40/70. But that doesn't mean that every script vetted will be upgraded.
So are we now going to say WAEC is just using ua to make money?

In my own opinion, do not rush to write any exam. We should be able to assess ourselves before the exam, and if we can't do that let's get people to assess us. It is better to be sure of your level before registering for the exam. Because 75k/68k is not a small amount of money.

Prayer is also very important, it is the key to unlocking every doors and for obtaining favour from the examiners

Lastly please let us be cautious of the way we write on social media. The way we write always affects our writing in exam. Even if it is to ask questions, let us try and write correctly.

My 2 cents

Mamaroon:
I myself have not attained the goal yet o...still striving.

All the very best....you will get there. COURAGE !

Merci beaucoup.

TCF in Port Harcourt see this link

https://www.nairaland.com/4672912/all-tef-candidates-canada-immigration/11#73603402

AF may start in Lagos soon, not sure of price.

If you don't mind, could you share your experience of your previous TEF attempt here....it may help someone

One thing I realise about TEF is that unlike IELTS or TCF, there are limited materials to practice with. So I found myself practicing with the same materials over and over again.

We did the listening first and I was able to hear them speak but I guess I didn't choose the correct answers so I got 196 which was CLB5

For the reading, I used the tips I got from this forum i.e do the first 10 and the last 10 first so I did that. The comprehension passages were quite long and technical to me. At the end I scored 181 CLB 6

For the Expressiion ecrite I practice with the youtube videos of mimi TEF and used her tips. i got the lowest here CLB 4

Lastly the expression orale. for the first part I was to ask 10 questions concerning test driving new cars and the second part, I was to convince a friend to patronise farmers market. I got CLB5 here.

I am still going to write french again but this time I will give myself between now and October or November.

Hello house,

Please who has an idea of the cost of writing TCF, and when they are likely to kickstart in Lagos. I wrote TEF in Ibadan in June and did not make B2 all through, but I learnt TCF is easier. I have been able to get some materials and links to practice for TCF, thanks to this forum and a friend. But I would like to know the cost of the exam. I am looking to write in October cos that's when my ECA will be completed.

hay2zed50:
Good day
My application status was updated to "Incomplete File (Documents Required)" and I'm sure my University already sent my transcripts to ICES through their official email (my status was showing just "application submitted" before) and I have uploaded my University certificate already, so what other documents is required ?
Is this normal or I've done something wrong ?
I already faxed my certificate to them again through hellofax though.

My own status also changed to incomplete file (documents required). and this happened when i was informed by my NTI contact that my transcripts had been sent. So I mailed ICES. In their reply they told me they have received my transcripts from NTI, so I don't know why I have such status. I intend waiting till next week before mailing them again if my status still continues to show Incomplete file.

I think you should mail them to confirm if they have received transcripts from your institution

Bellerin:
Oui.

See here. https://www.lefrancaisdesaffaires.fr/tests-diplomes/test-evaluation-francais-tef#examen

Merci beaucoup

Bellerin:
All valid.

just to be clear, are we saying there is no more negative marking in TEF. If that's the case that will be good news for me, cos I've been practicing with negative marking.

you can't claim points through your brother's wife. Your brother has to be a PR before you claim points

The rule is either you have a sibling (i.e your brother or sister), or your spouse has a sibling (his brother or sister) who is a PR and not your brother's wife

Nmaotito:
For clarity, I mean my brother's wife is a permanent resident (my brother does not yet have his PR). So can I claim points through her? Will this mean we are related by marriage and have a common parent?

i had my IELTS exam in Ibadan in January. The centre was organized and we made use of headphones.

captainkunle:
Can any member of this lovely family share the experience of taking IELTS exams in Ibadan. Most specifically, on the use of headphone and speaker. Because I'm just be informed that the venue for IDP IELTS is differnt from British one (MAUVE Envent Centre). Can anyone please tell me if headphones are available also in IDP IELTS centre(s) in Ibadan. Thanks

i am definitely announcing my ITA and AOR in this part 8
