Student Visa (Step by step)

alrakeam_18 · August 2012

Hi tanong ko lang po kung advisable ba na mag enroll sa diploma course to be an enrolled nurse or Certificate sa aged care sa OZ, na eemploy po ba after ng studies pag ganun? i'm in a dilemma kasi kung mag pursue ako ng 1 year conversion program given na hindi umabot yung score ko sa IELTS... tas mas mahal pa yung conversion kesa sa diploma course... sana po may mag shed ng light kasi nalilito po talaga ko kung ano ang pipiliin ko... salamat po... God bless sa ating lahat!!

Reply to @alrakeam_18: As per other forum mahirap kumuha ng sponsorship for aged care or enrolled nurse. If you'll go for conversion same din ang IELTS requirements 7 in all subtest and OBS of 7 most schools. In case, you wont make it to your IELTS score you can still enroll for conversion program as long as you'll get the packaged program which includes English in the course for a few weeks.
With regards to your dilemma, it's really expensive if you go via conversion program but after the course you are already a Division 1 nurse and isang buhos na lang ng gastos.
You mentioned about aged care/ diploma after the course carer ka or division 2 nurse na according to other forum mahirap talaga makakuha ng sponsorship for working. Let's assume na you were able to get an employer after your studies tapos you want to upgrade to a Division 1 nurse, you will still need to enroll in bridging program and pass the IELTS for you to be able to qualify. If you're going to sum it up, this is longer and mas magastos. My POV lang naman. It's still your call though.
Hope I was able to help. Make a wise and practical decision. Godbless you!

@yukishih... thank you po sa pag sagot medyo naliwanagan na ako hehe... ttry ko po yung dueli sa deakin uni magpapa assess ako next week sa IDP... pasensya na po kasi iniisip ko lang din yung gastos and dagdag pa wala pa po ako working experience as a nurse kaya medyo nag aalangan ako baka mahirap maka land ng job after ng program... may tanong po pala ako... yung english course po ba sa deakin kahit anong time ang enrollment or may specific date na mag cocommence lang? ang worry ko kasi baka di ako umabot sa intake ng Dueli... thank you po!

Yukishih · August 2012

Reply to @alrakeam_18: Every month meron ang dueli. Im in for sept intake for 10 weeks in Dueli and Bachelor of Nursing on Feb. Paasses ka na asap para makaabot ka if target mo for nursing program is feb. I did it on my own sa Deakin. Try mo apply online para di ka na magbayad ng around 1500 for assessment pa nila. Galingan mo na lang sa school at make a name sa placement para makuha ka ng hospital if magustuhan ka. Yung friend ko andun zero experience pero nakaland ng job. Do you best, be positiveband trust GOD. Hwag ka lang give up agad. Tiis sa umpisa. Yan mga payo ng mga andun na. For sure may hirap talaga pero kaya natin yan!

Hello Everyone!
Gusto ko din mag aral sa australia. may isang australian na gusto ako pag aralin, all expenses paid by her. kaya lng di ko alam san ako mag sisimula. nagrereview na ako for ielts. plan to take the exak this sept, makakahabol pa kaya ako for jan intake

alrakeam_18 · August 2012

@aizahczarina if sept. ka mag IELTS oo makaka habol ka pa for jan intake since it takes about 3-4 months ang processing from school application to visa application and approval. kung walang maging problem- this is according to IDP ,time frame given to me.. Goodluck!

Bachelor of nursing- credit prior learning. 1 year duration ng study ko.

hi yukishi or anyone who can give an input, just wondering how did you go about this? paano ka nag paassess, kelangan ba na enrolled ka muna bago ka ngpa credit?
yung brother in law ko gusto namin i student din (actually dapat ung sis ko pero tamad mag aral).Registered nurse din sya dyan sa Pinas pero wlang experience, So Im wondering eligible ba sya for conversion program, san ngpapa assess sa AHPRA ba o sa school mismo.
Im planning to support him for the duration of his study,sialng pamilya with 1 yr old baby. Would my payslip and employment details enough as financial documents (dito na ko sa australia)n o kelangan talaga ng amount sa bank?
Sorry ginawa kitang agent , yaw ko kc mg agent nagiging third party ako.
He's planning to take up bachelors of nursing as well.
Thanks. congratulations by the way on visa grant.

Yukishih · September 2012

@gnew1212 thank you. No worries. More than willing to help here. He needs to submit his credentials first sa school tapos school magdetermine how long sya magschool of 1or 2 years. Mag IELTS na din pala sya. I did everything by myself kasi nag agent ako yung ACTEC based in Cebu pero walang nangyari. I even paid my tuition fee pero walang nagmaterialize sa lahat ng pinangako nila. Incompetent sila, inefficient lahat ng in. Hahaha. Pero binalik naman ang pera na binayaran ko. Yun lang nasayang ang oras and yung money ginamit muna yata nila kasi isang taon sa kanila eh. Binalik nila sa amin installment. Buti na lang naibalik. Anyhow, ayun if ikaw magsponsor make sure na meron laman ang account mo ng at least 2.5M. Magbigay ka ng statutory declaration. Ayun. Madali lang sya.

gnew1212 · September 2012

@Yukishih thanks saang campus ka ba? sa geelong? taga dun ako.
mag a IELTS ulit sya ngayng sept, di kc umabot ung score nya sana makaabot sya sa Feb intake miss ko na kc kapatid ko gusto ko na makasama. Kelangan pla mghanap talaga ng ganung amount, kaya ko lang sagutin ung tuition nya and their living expense but wla akong ganung kalaking acct sa bank. BUt Im looking at Victoria Uni or Ballarat Uni mas mura kc dun kesa sa deakin.

Yukishih · September 2012

@gnew1212 sa burwood po. Nung una dyan po ako kaso nagpalipat ako kasi mas malapit sa kapatid ko ang burwood. Bale sa VU po ang alam ko 2 years nya kuhanin nursing division 1 na yun. Sa ballarat naman po divison 2 nurse sya don. Sabi po sa bago ngayon na requirements as long as streamlined ka no need na daw yung proof of funds. Sa akin po kasi nagsubmit langa talaga ako. Meron iba hindi na daw hinanapan. Sana makahabol po sya ng feb.

R_Yell · September 2012

hello all...how is the mode of payment for the tuition and fees? Is it paid as one time payment or installment while you are studying?

Yukishih · September 2012

@R_Yell one time payment per semester. Some schools you have to pay for the whole year na.

sisa16 · September 2012

Tanong ko lang sa mga nag-apply sa mga Uni kung hiningan kayo ng Admission Office ng written testimonials from your employer. I am planning to apply sa MBA and they want a testimonial from my employer. How did you proceed with this? Thanks.

nj87 · September 2012

pag nag pa medical po ba wala ng gagawin after non, kundi maghintay nalang po update via email? balak ko po kasi puntahan mother ko abroad, after ng medical.. matagal ko na po kasi sya di nakakasama kaya na eexcite nadin po ako.. iniisip ko lang baka po kasi may kailangan pa ko gawin.. hinahabol ko lang po kasi yung time baka pwede .. thanks po sa mag-rereply

dolqiu · September 2012

thanks for all the information guys

ljust · September 2012

I'm back! so? lol

Anyhoo! One month nako dito so far okay naman, except that as time passes, iniisip ko kung pano macoconvert ang visa ko sa 457. Or kung palarin, skilled independent. Unfortunately, my current course here will be of no help based on the migration agent I talked to. Pero fortunately, I have a degree in Early Childhood Education so may chance ako kahit papano.

@R_Yell Depende yan actually sa school. Most universities will require you to pay one time big time. Pero most colleges have installment plans.

@nj87 I suggest you dont leave the country whilst waiting for the results. Usually kasi if may kulang, ieemail ka nila and you have to send it asap eh. Unless you'd rather have them wait, and have your case go at the bottom of the pile. So wag ka muna umalis. Wait for the result, then go travel.

nj87 · September 2012

ask ko nga pala.. paano ba yung sa bank statement.. kasi sponsor ko nasa australia... halimbawa magpapasa ako requirements bukas september 11.. kailangan ba ang bank statement ko is from june11 to september11?
kasi covered ng statement ng sponsor ko monthly is tuwing month 3- month 2 lang (ex. july 3 to august 2, august 3 to september 3) paano po ba yon? wala kasi sila online banking at di naman techy, kasi medyo may edad nadin hehe'. kaya baka mahirapan ako makahingi sa kanila ng bank statement.. ang binibigay nila sakin yung pinapadala lang talaga sa kanila ng bank.. thank you po ha..

Yukishih · September 2012

How about bank cert? Iattached mo na din yung pinapadala sa kanila. Andun naman ang outstanding balance nila. Did you lodge na ba? Additional req ba to?

nj87 · September 2012

yukishih pag sa australia daw po hindi nag iissue ng bank certificate...

Yukishih · September 2012

Ganun ba. Dont worry too much. Basta isubmit mo yung statement ng bank na galing sa Tito mo. It should be more than okay. Maapprove ka yan.

juleikha_10 · September 2012

baka meron po kayong recommended na college or university na di naman kamahalan ang tuition fee at mas lenient sa tems ng payment ng tuition fee (like 1 sem lang muna ang babayaran). Kung kukuha ako ng medical course (nurs/aged care) applicble po ba GT/6.5 na IELTS ko?
thanks.

Yukishih · September 2012

@juleikha_10 Acad dapat IELTS mo. As for school yung sa akin 1st sem muna binayaran ko.

nj87 · September 2012

@juleikha_10 sa TAFE pasok dyan sa sinasabi mo po..

juleikha_10 · September 2012

kailangan bang mag bayad kagad ng tuition fee, pano kung hindi naman ako mavisahan, ang hirap mag refund. hindi ba tinatanggap ng embassy acceptance letter muna ng Uni/Colleges upon application ng student visa?
