    Hello!

    I'm Bea. Nagaapply din ako for student visa sa Australia. I actually just came back from SG. nagwork ako dun as a preschool teacher for a year eh hindi ko nagustuhan. So ngayon sa AU naman. Apparently, mahirap kumuha nun 457 na visa. So, decided to apply for student visa.
    Okay nako lahat actually. Pero I'm in a terrible dilemma.

    Here's my situation:
    I got accepted in the two schools that I applied to. Yun isa University of Technology Sydney (MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) for 1.5yrs tapos yun isa sa Bridge Business College (Diploma in Business)for 2yrs. My problem is, ayoko na talaga maging teacher. I mean I dont see myself teaching for the rest of my life. So, sabi ko kay father dearest ang iaaccept ko yun sa community college na business diploma. Apart from the reason na ayoko na magteacher and magaral uli ng teaching, mas mura yun tuition sa BBC. Infairness naman, may nakuha ako scholarship sa UTS pero, partial scholarship lang siya, tumataginting na almost 30k AUD padin tution ko for the whole thing. Yun sa BBC, half of my tuition sa UTS lang gagastusin.

    So yun, ngayon hindi ko na alam kung ano ba talaga kukunin ko. Gusto ko lang naman kasi makakuha ng permanent residency dun in the future. Ang plan ko is study business pero work part-time in the education industry, parang gagamitin ko padin yun teaching para masponsor ng employer. Eh etong tita ko na eps na citizen dun, wag daw ako magcommunity college. I dont get why pero sabi niya pangit daw sa resume. Eh sabi ko nga sakanya, gusto ko lang ng ibang course, pero gagamitin ko padin yun teaching para makalodge ng PR in the future.

    So now, I want to ask all of u kung ano ba ang mas wise decision? Go to UTS and take my MA in teaching o BBC with diploma in business. Which decision will most likely make it easier for me to be a PR in AU?
    Sorry kung mahaba, I'm running out of time na kasi, and nabbwisit nako kausap yun mga tanders dito samin. hahahah

    Welcome po sa forums. :)

    I'm not really an expert on this, but I will give my inputs. If you are looking for a way to get a PR easier, make sure you enroll a course which is CRICOS registered, and should be at least 92 weeks for the course duration. I know this because I claimed 5 points for Australian Study.

    You can also do a bit more research on DIAC's website, but I know there is a visa wherein you can apply for a PR visa after you completed your course. But you should apply within 6 months of course completion. And by the way, I read somewhere about English courses are not valid when claiming points for Australian Study.

    First of, thanks for replying :)
    So basically, I need to lean more towards taking the Business course since it's 2years and is not English course-related. I did check if BBC was CRICOS registered and fortunately it was.
    Also, there's this new policy regarding student visas, that streamlined visa processing arrangements and luckily, the school is included in the list as well.

    Anyway, thank you again for your two cents. Really appreciate it. :)

    to beaj...maybe i can contribute, as my Tita (agent sa Pinas) telling me point din un 2 years course for applying PR after school. If you can find employer that can sponsor you much better. pwedeng from student visa to skilled visa...or student visa to PR may ngyayaring ganun.
    Anyone of us pinapangarap din maging permanent Resident, kaya wg mwalan ng pg-asa.
    dami n benefits and okay p s pghahanap ng work.

    kami din andito s SG...hopefully and pray maging ok un application nmin for student,ms mbilis mkapasok s Oz, try kmi Skilled migrant pero di aabot kc July2012,skillselect n.
    pero ngaun try kmi s sponsorship visa 457.

    Thanks! I'm decided na. I will take the 2yr Business Diploma Course. I just enrolled.
    Now I'm lodging my visa.

    I have a friend back in SG who's planning to go to AU din. They're getting help from this SG agency. Not really sure how it goes about though.

    Bilis Beaj ah! nka-enroll kn?

    We tried before umattend ng mga seminars about migrating s agency,but we decided to apply on our own...ngpa-assess nko mejo ngkproblema lang...final plan nmin,student Visa...intay kami ng visa,hopefully maging ok at umabot kmi ng august Intake s Asia Pacific international College and CRICOS sya. Nabanggit mo nun una di okay un College as a school. APIC naman after graduation tulungan k nila s pghhnap ng work and 7K tuition/sem. Kinuha pla ng Hubby ko Master Business in Project Management 2years.

    hear about TAFE? TAFE schools priority nila dito graduates, pero ms ok un university mahal naman ng tuition fees.

    Actually ako din on my own na. I tried using this education agency pero parang they gave me the impression na they're not helping. Well at least maybe for the counsellor I had lang. The counsellor said kasi na hindi na daw aabot for July intake, eh nun ako naman gumawa both University and College umabot. Parang quits lang naman ang Uni at college. Either way, the only goal is to get a job.

    I'm not sure with TAFE, parang vocational education ata inooffer nila. Pero I know people who took courses there, and okay naman naging PR naman sila. I guess it all boils down to how you do your job. Sympre tayong mga galing sa SG we kinda know how it works na - how to work and live abroad so siguro may edge na tayo kahit papano. And I really believe na Filipinos abroad do their job very well talaga.
    And yes, sobrang mahal talaga sa University. Yun MA ko, mga 11k AUD per sem, tapos 2k per sem yun nakuha ko scholarship eh hello mahal padin.

    Hi beaj,

    If I were you, i would study diploma in nursing or diploma in Network Engineering or any ICT Courses in any community colleges or TAFE. Mas mura ang tuition then may guarantee na makakakuha ka ng apprenticeship program at pwede kang ma-absorb ng company to 457 visa to permanent.

    Hindi naman dito pagandahan ng school. Bakit kaming mga philippine university graduate, nagagawan ng paraan na gumanda ang resume. Dapat yung skill mo dito ay employable para makakuha ng work.

    Putting my two cents in....

    one hella' skilled visa grantee. Happily ended up as an ICT gov't employee where SKILLS Australia is just one desk away!

    @adelaide_boi Oo nga eh,sana nag ICT course nalang ako. Kaya lang na-enroll ko na. Nahirapan din kasi ako maghanap ng community colleges before. Kasi initially, Uni talaga gusto ko. Kaya nun nagdecide ako na college nalang, yun BBC una ko naisip kasi dun din nagaaral yun isa kong friend.

    Nako yan exactly sinabi ko sa tita kong eps. Na it's not about your school. Sa skills yan talaga. Pero wait, ang preschool teacher naman in demand din diba? Yun talaga balak ko, study a different course pero get employed in a school, then hopefully i-sponsor ng company.

    @aemond try to search for schools na meron na course na gusto mo, then look for list of requirements sa DIAC website it differ, pag bachelors or masters degree i think Subclass 573 un pag vocational courses its 572, then complete all the required docs, like credentials from previous schools, certi.of employment if ever employed before or still an employee, statutory declaration of support ng mag sponsor sau and all his/her bank statements or accounts on a specified amount depending on your chosen course, ü

    To God be the glory.

    To all student visa applicants. Don't rely on migration agents or IDP Manila. Remember that they are profit-oriented entities that have a target revenue quota every year. Better to make your own research across the board. Use all the available resources, internet, networks, forums, etc.

    Choose the course which is significantly EMPLOYABLE and choose REGIONAL AREA. Aside from cheap tuition, and very affordable standard of living (food and basic services are cheaper compared to big cities), there is an additional 5 migration points for living in regional area.

    Most employable skills: NURSING (diploma in nursing), ICT (diploma in network engineering), Aged Care (certificate III in Aged Care)

    Kapag yan ang mga kinuha nyong courses, siguradong makakapag apprenticeship kayo at baka ma-absorb kayo ng company.

    By the way, under construction ngayon ang isa sa pinakamalaking hospital sa adelaide located at west terrace. Next year siguradong mag ha-hire sila ng napakaraming nurses and other medical practitioners.

    one hella' skilled visa grantee. Happily ended up as an ICT gov't employee where SKILLS Australia is just one desk away!
