@Kaloys which kind of studies ba gusto mo and what field? pwede po kasi kayo either vocational or university studies, pero depende po yun kung aling industry ang gusto mong pasukan. culinary? trade occupation? professional work? Hindi po kami makakapagsuggest sa inyo ng pathway kung wala kang sasabihin na preference na trabaho

Hi! I just want to ask. Coz I'm planning to apply for student visa. I'm a BS Psychology undergraduate way back 2010 pa. Possible ba para makapag apply? May maccredit bang units? Or if I take VET courses, ano bang requirements na kelangan kong ipass? Thanks!
atheleneBrisbane Posts: 766Member Joined: Mar 13, 2018
@Jess.Ica Hi! you mean you graduated from university in 2010? Which course do you want to pursue? If it's somewhat related, you'll have to check your prospective program's curriculum (units of competency) kung may kapareho ba sa dati mong course, and then you can ask the university or VET school if they can do RPL (recognition of prior learning) based on your prior degree. Do take note that if you're planning to take another bachelor degree and it's not directly related to Psych, you might not get any credits recognized esp if minors kasi wala sa curriculum nila yung mga college english, maths, theology, etc. Requirements for VET schools are listed in their websites, they would usually have a link to their admissions process.

@athelene di ko natapos yung course ko, hanggang 3rd year lang. Kaya i'm still undecided kung pwede kaya na ipagpatuloy ko parin yung BS Psychology or enroll in a different course, or VET courses.
atheleneBrisbane Posts: 766Member Joined: Mar 13, 2018
@Jess.Ica If you still want to pursue Psych, I say you still check the curriculum of potential schools to compare their curriculum and the courses you've completed so far. If there are similarities, try to contact the school directly to inquire if it's possible to transfer your credits to them if you decide to continue your studies there. Sila lang kasi makakapagsabi kung maccredit or not, since each school is different when it comes to RPL (recognition of prior learning). I'm not sure though if there are VET courses na related to Psych, so you have to do your own research for that matter.
If you don't plan to continue your Psych studies (because you want to shift or hindi macredit yung previous courses mo), you are free to choose whatever path you want, as long as yun talaga ang gusto mong pasukan na industry, you can fund your studies, and (ideally) may demand nun sa Pinas (for GTE purposes).

Question pala sa mga may visa grant na dito with spouse as dependent under Master's Coursework. As per the work rights of my husband, 40 hours per fortnight lang daw siya pwede magwork unless my course is under Master's Research or Doctorate degree.
However, according to DHA's website, it is indicated that a dependent can work for more than 40 hours per week as long as the primary student is rendering masters degree by COURSEWORK or RESEARCH or Doctorate.
We will ask the embassy tomorrow if the work rights stipulated are correct but I just want to get your opinion as well, baka nagkamali lang sila. Thank you sa mga magrerespond.
I currently working as a programmer here in the Philippines. But when my ninong visited me at home, he asked me if I'm interested in going to Australia by applying for a student visa. He told me that he has a nephew with a business there that could give me a part-time job to cover my school, dorm, food/transpo expenses, etc. So I started researching for the requirements. I have a lot of questions but I think I should start with this one: Can you give me a list of schools offering IT courses preferrably: programming course and in/near Sydney? Thank you.
atheleneBrisbane Posts: 766Member Joined: Mar 13, 2018
@anghela148 There's actually tons of schools offering IT courses, both VET and universities. The main question would be what kind of qualification are you after? Diploma/Certificate? Master's degree? Another bachelor degree? And are you planning to migrate as an IT specialist/programmer? Your choice of school and program would be dependent on your nominated occupation, because really there are so many schools to choose from. You'll have to narrow down your options based on your interests.
As for schools, you can start looking at TAFE NSW, Western Sydney University, University of Sydney, UNSW, UTS, Kent Institute.

@athelene Which kind will have a higher chance of getting a programmer job in the future? I guess getting a diploma/certificate is cheaper than bachelor’s degree but if that would affect my chances, I can go for another bachelor’s degree. Yes I’m planning to migrate there.
By the way, I’ve read about the new 2017-2018 Medium and Long Term Strategic Skill List (MLTSSL). Item 115 - Developer Programmer with ANZSCO code 261312 is on the list. Do you happen to know anything about this? Can I go down that 189 visa route instead of a student visa? Here’s my brief backgroud -

@agentKams Thank you for replying. I just checked it now.
His work limitations states "The Visa Holder has limited Work Entitlements" BUT there is a note below that "Family members of students studying a Masters or doctorate (PhD) can work unlimited hours once the primary student visa holder has started their course." Ganito rin ba sa dependent mo?
I am concerned because the term coursework is not included in his visa grant pdf file. Masters by research and doctorate lang. The agent already emailed them and will wait for their response.
atheleneBrisbane Posts: 766Member Joined: Mar 13, 2018
@anghela148 According to Immitracker, there have been Developer Programmers who have been granted visas under 189, so you can definitely try that. If you're worried about job opportunities, I suggest you look through job hunting sites like Seek Australia, Indeed, Jora, etc. and check for openings applicable to your field, and see if your skillset would fit most of the job openings.
Diploma/certificate is definitely cheaper, but you'll have to check if their curriculum fits what you really want to learn. Because some universities have unique courses/units that are only available there and not offered by VET schools. Since you already have a bachelor degree, you can look through masters programs, which can take as long as diploma courses (2 years). Of course, the downside is that they will cost you twice as much (around AUD 15k per sem).
If you will go straight for GSM (general skilled migration), you can definitely do so but you might need a lot of points to get an invitation right away (maybe 70+). With your 2 year work experience, you won't get any points for overseas work experience because the minimum is 3 years (excluding the year you are "unskilled," usually the first year you work). The student path is advisable only if you can afford it and/or if there are no other ways for you to claim points and increase your EOI points.
