  Hi everyone, just want to solicit for your thoughts. Gusto ko kasing magapply for Student Visa, kaso alangan ako sa dapat na kunin na course. Im a licensed chem engg, pero di ko talaga napractice yung profession ko. Currently I'm working as a master data analyst (SAP. MM Module) sa isang Petroleum company. Ano kayang course ang pwede na maggrant application ko. Gusto ko pala snang kunin yung Early Childhood education..
  
  Thank you and God Bless to us all.
  

  choose one that is closely related to chem eng....cheers

  Papakita mo.na tapos na medical mo. May reference number yun I think

  "IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".

  John 14:14

  Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

  Hello sa mga mag ma-masters na on Monday~ Holla there!
  Paano po ba mag arrange ng schedule? Meron din ba executive/working flexi scheds like the masteral programs in UP? My husband has a full time offer na nakaabang sa bank of NZ sa Melby, however I think 8-5 job sya so iniisip ko dala namin si toddler so ako dapat mag adjust ng sched sa school. Thanks thanks thanks!

  you better arrange earlier yong sked mo sa skol kasi pag masters ka need ka na full time sked at hindi madali i adjust ang sked mo lalo na if you are just starting your course....mahihirapan kayo if dala nyo toddler nyo maliban lang kung i day care mo siya which is expensive....sa experience ni wifey sa masters nya, ang student ang nag rely sa sked ng school at it's not the other way around....

  Either take a course that's ERP-related or one that's in line with your Chem educational background. VU has a lot of ERP/SAP-based masters degrees if you're looking to go to Melbourne

  For 572 normally walang interview. Depende sa CO mo kung meron siyang I clarify about sa documents mo.
