I think I'll defer my application for this sem. Di talaga aabot.
But thanks for the reply, @dadedidodu17
But I'm just wondering di po ba ang CO ang mg.require ng additional exams?

Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

I am currently in the process of securing the requirements for student visa. I chose the school GCA (Group Central College) in Sydney. I have a friend who graduated from this school and is already a citizen in AU. What do you guys think of this school? I see it is already a member of CRICOS, but is there anything else about this school I should know about? Any advantages/disadvantages with this school?
By the way, I am a nursing graduate, registered here in RP but will be taking GCA's 2-year IT course. Reason? I never wanted to be a nurse in the first place, have no working experience in the field whatsoever and would like to change the course of my life and start a career in a profession I am really interested in. Will this be an issue?
Also, I plan to study and work in AU with my SO/GF via defacto. What are the things I need to secure for her to ensure visa approval? My intake is on October 8. Any opinions/information/links about traveling to AU via student visa with a de facto partner would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
