    If you have a partner that can work as well for sure makakasustain naman po for Masters pero sa mga single or walang support from relatives or family medjo mahirap. Pahirapan na nga yong tuition kahit VET Lang how much more for uni. But it would help you din kase esp for post grad study matic na for application no need na mag pa assess to get post grad visa unlike VET.

    Regional kase is mas madali makakuha ng points for PR and additional 5 points. Yan plan ng mga classmates namin lilipat regional to get the extra 5 points.

    Hello po @lunarcat , thanks sa input..how about during visa application? mas advantageous din po ba yung may ksama partner when applying SV na?

    Yes, the downside of having a partner during application is yong gastos niyo for insurance pwedi naman daw single kunin for each. Then, cost of living, if di kayo mapili you can rent a room for couples naman so makakasave na din. Your partner can also add points for PR application din. Just ask Lang din if she can study for short courses like aged care, cookery, etc para makawork siya.

    Hello, if I got good assessment naman sa authorized assessor I would pursue PR application and just gain more experience muna sa Pinas if medjo bata ka pa. Medjo mahal talaga IT dito esp for Masters. Kahit VET nga e mahal na IT courses. If only I have good work experience as an IT sa Pinas puro kase iba iba IT field yong experience ko sa Pinas and for sure di sapat for assessment, I would opt out to PR application than taking SV. Just my two cents.

    Yong advice ko Lang sa mga friends ko who are taking Masters pinili na nila mababa yong tuition for their courses with scholarship na is to double their kayod. Medjo mahirap talaga esp ngayon walang kita mga companies. But with all the hard work and prayers, everything will go well :)
