Kahit po ata 491 need dumaan sa points system. Ang pag aaral can boost your points. Ang kamag anak mo ba based sa regional area?

Masters by coursework is may mga core courses, electives, research project/internship kang itatake.
Master by Research is purely based on research. Para ka din nag PhD pero 2 years lang. Pathway din to kung gusto mo magtuloy ng PhD. However, hindi lahat eligible mag masters by research. Magdedepende to sa educational background mo and sa previous research/thesis/dissertation na meron ka.

It depends on the school's payment policies. Usually per semester ang bayad, during enrolment time. You would be asked to pay for one semester (pay in full) to get the eCoE, which you need to be able to apply for student visa. However, some vocational schools may offer other payment plans (like monthly), so just ask the school what their policies are.

Hi! are you after for PR din ba? If yes, do you already have an IT background in the PH? If none, I would advise familiarising yourself with ACS assessment first before you opt for IT diploma courses. There are certain requirements ACS needed to give you a positive assessment such as (at least bachelor educ, work xp etc. )
If I am not mistaken, completing a Diploma of IT will not give you eligibility to apply for a 485 visa. So if you cannot stay here after your studies, then it'll be hard to fulfill the ACS requirement, which is to gain at least 1 year of relevant work experience (in AU) or completion of an ACS Professional Year Program, hence, you'll not be eligible to apply for PR if you cannot obtain a positive skill assessment.
Mahal man ang bachelor/master program ng IT, but I can assure that it'll open a lot of opportunities for you, especially if you're from a non-IT background

This is true. IT vocational courses are not eligible for ACS Assessment sa visa 485. It only applies for higher ed (Bachelor's and Master's). Kase yong lang accepted na level for an assessment. However, if you have Bachelor's degree in IT sa Pinas, pwedi naman siya ma assess for skilled migration given you have enough experience din sa nominated occupation niyo. Kami diploma of IT kinuha namin dito sa Au, IT degree holder kami sa Pinas. Have enough experience. Sa PR skilled visa and employer sponsorship kami umaasa. Else, continue na naman sa pagiging student.

True po na pwede mag fulltime work ang dependent kung ang primary holder ay nag mamaster or PhD. In terms of your occup, it seems na wala sa mltssl but you may still check in acs occupation kung saan kayo maaring pasok para maipa assess nyo din sa acs. However, if your relevant work experience is not in the acs occupation list, then I will suggest to enrol in Master of IT. In that way, you are eligible for 485 visa (3 yrs stay) once you’ve finished your studies. Just bear in mind lang din po sa acs requirements for skill assessment. Also, competitive ang ICT occupation sa PR invites, so much better to go for regional studies dahil may plus points po sya. Check nyo din saang state madaling ma pr for your nominated occup. I would highly recommend to check SA (not being biased but based on my experience)
