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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
