Hi @rj052813 your details are very informative. Thanks for sharing. Meron ako questions..kasi thru agency kami ng friend ko. Im currently in Dubai. ready na mga documents namin for submission na siya sa Lawson College din. pero ang target namin is April 2019 intake. pwede ba namin ipasa na...tas kung sakali katulad n sayo napostpone mo siya due to some issues? or kapag napasa na kelangan ba tuloy-tuloy talaga? thanks sa advise in advance

rj052813 · August 2018

@leilanie Hello po, pwde namn po siguro ecommunicate nyo sa agency ninyo ang concern ninyo. Sila na ung mag inform sa scul. As long as walang implications na next year pa kayo mag intake, para sa akin okay lang po iyon. God bless.

leilanie · August 2018

@rj052813 thanks sa repsonse. actually gusto na nila i-submit kasi nga baka nga daw mag-bago ang rules which is may point naman kaya lang siympre may mga commitments pa dito an di pwede iwanan agad...pero looking at the process and time line you have shared na nangyari sayo parang sakto lang din kung this year namin i-submit. Akala ko kasi kapag pinasa mo dapat tuloy-tuloy na talaga e kasi Next year pa talaga kami ready financially. Thanks and good luck!

rj052813 · August 2018

@leilanie Ganun dn nangyari sa akin kasi busy dn sa trabaho nung nag process ako. Tuloy2 nmn po siguro kapag ready lang ung pera. hehehe. Sa case ko nagproblma dn ako. Good luck po sa process .

luckygirl · August 2018

@rj052813 hi! manghihingi lang ako ng advice sa situation ko now, I apply PR visa as Secondary school teacher kaso hirap ako kunin IELTS band score required individually, kaya I am planning to apply student visa first to gain experience in english country at the same time pandagdag sa points ko. kaso d ko sure kung applicable Food technology teacher sana ang subject sa Australia for PR visa kaya ung kukunin ko na course ay Hospitality (commercial cooking) for 2 years or another diploma course in early childhood education. tama ba magiging pathway ko? baka kasi masayang lang kung d ko magagamit para sa points system. thanks in advance.

Vhaine · August 2018

Hi Guys,

I'm currently on the first stage of my application with the School. this is thru Enhance Visa and they recommended Lawson College (a partnership they have I guess).

When Enhance conducted an orientation here in Saudi Arabia (I'm currently working here) we were informed that "show money" is not required for both school and for visa application--- is this true? they even mentioned that we can pay the tuition fees if the visa will be granted. I even told the rep that this seems to be contradicting with the policy of aussie and even the rest of the world if we are applying for a student visa. well, they said that the school (which happens to be Lawson College) has a special privilege.

sabi rin ng Enhance, I have to be there for the January intake kasi baka hindi na daw nila iooffer ung "no show money" for July or October Intake - - but I'm not sure if this is true.

tuition fee for 1 year as per Enhance visa is 400K PHP?

qwerty34 · September 2018

@josh.vilg hi..i have the same concern.i attended their orientation last aug in dammam...i payed fees too..bilis pangyayari...

Marayah · September 2018

@qwerty34 and @josh.vilg, sa Enhance din po nag-apply in Kuwait. Last Sept. 1 lang ako nag-attend ng seminar then Sept. 5 nagbayad ng 1st segment.

Nakakapanghina lang ng loob kasi di kumpleto ang details na binigay noong seminar and it was quite misleading kasi wala silang minention na needed pa ang health insurance (which can cost 50,000php) etc. I was hoping that they would orient me properly before I jump in. Sinasabi lang nila na isesend yan ang details sayo Ma'am and I trusted them. Tapos now, ang hirap na magcommunicate sa kanila, no replies at times. Ni hindi nga ako pinapili ng school at course. Sila na pumili for me and nagulat lang ako na nag-email na sila na Business course na ako in Lawson College.

When I was asking the basis sabi nila na yon ang mas bagay sa akin based on my experience and since No IELTS at No Show Money ang gusto ko. They didn't even present the options na meron pa palang ibang course sa Lawson College. Now that I'm asking them to send me the details of the other courses and their other partner schools as well para makadecide ako if ano mas mabuti for me eh pinapaikot ikot pa nila ang usapan at di nila binibigay ang detalye.

I mean it's my future so I should know my options di ba? We are paying them to guide us but they shouldn't be the ones to entirely decide for us. Besides, if Business course ka, di naman nababagay if PR ang ultimate target mo right?

Nakakalungkot lang, kaya sa iba na mag-aattend ng seminar nila, kilatisin ninyo muna lahat ng details before you even pay kasi after that at makauwi na ung presenters nila ay pahirapan na makipag-usap. I made that mistake and now I regret trusting them right away.

maguero · September 2018

@Marayah Kung okay lang, matanong lang, bakit nyo mas preferred mag student visa kesa derecho mag-apply ng PR?

meann · September 2018

@Marayah Me too,I have the same sentiments that they are the one chose my course which is the Business Management but I clearly told them that I will not take that as I wanted to continue my Nursing career and do the conversion course to other school because Lawson is not offering any bachelor degree. So upset kay Enhance, seems they don't have any tie up with other school aside from Lawson.

They let us feel during the orientation that all over Australia there will be no Ielts and No show money at all kaya the same day I paid 3k AED. When it comes to communication they are extremely slow, for instance when I sent message today they will reply 2 to 3 days after.

Now, I did my own research and currently looking for other school. I am preparing for PTE exam because all those university are requiring me to take English exam. Cant wait for Enhance because they have limited knowledge of what pathway I want to take. Maybe my 3k aed consider a lost already.

Goodluck satin lahat, God will surely guide us. Godbless everyone.

Marayah · September 2018

@maguero super hirap na po if diretso PR applyan mo. Prefer nila na my local experience ka na don. Based on my research, kahit nga iba na nasa Aus na ay nahirapan na din mgPR due to the competition at taas ng standards ng point system nila and strict rules now. The student visa pathway is a risk din po. It's not an assurance that you will get PR but your aim is to get experience there and establish your credentials for the PR application.

Marayah · September 2018

@meann I was thinking that I was the only one having a bad experience with Enhance. I'm also considering na maghanap na lang ng ibang consultancy or mag-apply independently.
Paasa sila talaga and we were easily deceived na we are in good hands. It seems nga na limited partner schools nila in Aus because di sila nagbibigay ng other info kahit kinukulit ko na. They don't seem to care about your real goal and ung maaabutan mo don. Sa kanila basta mapaalis ka lang nila, yon na yon.
They should have presented and discussed the options with their client first and at least made us choose di ba? Di naman tayo tanga eh and alam din naman natin if nababagay sa career natin at ultimate purpose don.
Ang fear ko kasi is if ipursue natin ang Business course sa Lawson eh baka mgwaste lang tayo ng 2.5 yrs don kasi di naman magagamit for PR or di naman ganon karecognized ang sch.
Goodluck na lang po sa atin lahat and yes I'm still positive naman na matutupad yan. Ipon lang muna tayo para ready tayo sa maabutan natin don since we will start from zero talaga and let's pray that the rules won't be that stringent when our time comes. God bless!

maguero · September 2018

@Marayah Ano po ba yung occupation nyo? Overwhelming talaga sa umpisa yung process and requirements for PR pero marami dito sa forum na successful sa pagkuha ng PR visa. Marami dito hindi rin nag-agent. Depende sa occupation yung pataasan ng points and kailangan talaga open lang sa lahat ng options.

Yung local experience na nabanggit ninyo at pag nasa AU na at naghahanap ng trabaho. Pero again, marami rin naman nakakahanap ng trabaho pagkalipat nila dun.

Hindi ko kayo dinidiscourage na mag student visa. Naisip ko lang magtanong kasi may bad experience ka sa agent and baka makatulong na isuggest yung PR.

Marayah · September 2018

@maguero iba na po ang rules now compared before. Yes meron na madali lang para sa kanila lalo na ang mga sa medical field, my mga MBA at PHD.
For me na more on HR and Training field na ay medyo mahirap. My isang possible solution po sana ako but di naman ngcocommunicate sa akin ng mabuti ang consultancy firm and as what I said they did not give me any other options. Sila pumili derecho ng Business course for me.
As for the work, di naman daw mahirap mghanap don basta di ka mapili pero iba lasi standards nila so usually menial jobs ung unang mapapasukan para lang kumita at masustain expenses.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion pero kon ganon lng nga kadali mgPR ay di na talaga need dumaan sa student visa.

kymme · September 2018

@Marayah try to ask AECC kasi free mn yung consultation nila. and yes, madaming gantang agency na basta mapalioad k lng ng Aus, ok na. may isang friend din jsi ako from Ph. Psychology grad in Ph then mg buniseness course dw xa sa Lawson. nung tinanong ko kung ano pathway nya to PR, sbi nya, enhance na dw bhla after ma finish yung coyrse, which i doubt. U still need to research for yourself and wag iasa lahat sa agent

Marayah · September 2018

@kymme thanks for the suggestion po. Will look into AECC. I also heard from the others na my ibang agent nga na di na kumukuha ng prof fee kasi my commission din naman daw pala yan sila sa referral nila sa schools. Anyways, goodluck po to everyone! God bless!
