Student Visa (Trade Course) as pathway for Permanent Residency -Sydney

ipinkipink North RydePosts: 176Member
in Study and Training Visa
Hello all! Does anyone know of a trade course na available here in Sydney which is open to International Students AND nasa SOL list... therefore may high probability to be able to apply for PR visa in the future.

Just looking for options to get my brother here. :) Any other inputs which could help on my goal would be appreciated as well.

    Hi! You can check MEGT Institute. I'm about to take up my certIII and diploma in Childcare. We have a 2 week practicum (paid) before the end of each term (10 terms ata kami). Pag nakagraduate na kami we will be given a training visa (14months)...after nun work ng 1 year sa regional na childcare centre then PR na (sana nga ganun sya kasimple as explained by my school).

    Hi @bellaparaiso! Thank you so much for replying to my post. Given what you said, how long will tye entire study take and how much will the tuition cost you in all? As initial enrollment how much as well? Did you course through IDP?

    Thank you again for the reply! :)

    @ipink i had my application assisted by Carelink Asia at West Kamias in QC. I already went to IDP and AMS Global before and wasnt pleased with their service. IDP didnt give me much info and AMS was a bit canned with their answers. Found out about MEGT online when I got annoyed with my TAFE application. I liked their program so i looked up fior their educ agents here in manila and chose the closest one.

    Going back (sorry i had to rant a bit. Nadelay kasi application ko dahil sa dati kong agent), the certificate to diploma is 2 years... Usually 2,200aud per term (10 weeks) yung payment. Inabot ako nang164k fir the initial payment at kasama na yung oshc. :)

    I highly recommend my educ agent. They were very thorough with my application... They helped me edit my essay and they even contacted a lawyer to help me with my reply to my CO. :)

    @VegeMate pag graduate, the Megt will sponsor you for a training and research visa Thats good for 14 months. Panibagong application sya...after that, pwede kang mag work for a year sa regional na childcare centre then makakaapply ka na for PR. Yan yung mismong sinabi ng marketing officer ng megt.

    @lmrccjlg nope. 572 yung visa ko kaya kailangan ng proof of funds. I finished my degree here in the philippines. Unrelated nga lang but i have a grad certificate in sped and took up educ units before kaya siguro nadalian ako magrant ng visa :)

    Yung agent na tumulong sakin for my Megt application is Carelink Asia. My experience with IDP was kulang yung info na binigay nila sakin. With carelink naman, lahat ng info were laid out properly. Yung agent ko mismo pinagaralan bawat school na nirerepresent nila so he knows what to recommend to those who want to have a consultation with them.

    Experience ko with my tafe application medyo maarte yung nagreview ng questionnaires ko and nagsara yung coure na kukunin ko sana. Pinarevise sa akin kahit straightforward na yung sagot ko...mas mahaba pa sagot ko sa kanila kaysa sa essay ko sa visa application ko.

    Isa pa pala...every term required na mag work for 2 weeks full time sa isang daycare centre...sabi ng mktg officer usually paid internship yun. Apart pa yan sa allowed 20 hrs per week kaya makakaipon ka rin dun.

    @lmrccjlg sa experience ko wala akong binayad pwera lang sa pagpapa notary ng docs na pinagawa ko sa kanila. Sa tafe talaga isang buong sem ang pagbayad sa kanila unlike sa megt na installment (per term)

    Hi ipink! Sa batch raw namin sa MEGT merong 4 male students per class. They actually encourage men to consider child services para daw masanay yung mga kids sa male authority figure. :) Pero ang pinaka importanteng factor is dapat gusto sya ng brother mo. Na check mo na yung Skillstech sa queensland ata? Dun talaga maganda yung trade courses nila like carpentry, sheet metal work,etc. :)

    Good question @ipink. Naisip ko din yan before. I'm wondering kung anong perception sa mga male child care providers in aussie knowing that the industry is dominated by women.

    Good to hear @belleparaiso na they are encouraging men to take child care.
