Nwokenna: Hi I just want to reply your thread. 1st of all your quest to study the above named course are nice but I'll like you to know a few things. I also stand to be corrected by my Aussie friends especially those in the Health sector. MRI, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, CT scan etc name all the medical imaging fields are technically sub-sepcialty under the Umbrella name Radiography or Medical Imaging Science or Radiologic Technologist depending on the part of the world you reside all basically carry out the same function. I'm a Nigerian Trained Radiographer as so is my wife also. We have done our IELTS, Course Assessment by our Australian Body and I'm also an accreditated medical Radiographer by Australian standards after assessment. I was recently invited to apply for my PR which I did a couple of Moments ago. My advise is you go for Radiography as a course by the time you are half way you can decide the sub-specialty that suits you. All the best

Fikzzy:

Sure...ask them so you will be extra sure and plan well.

ferdimako:

It has something to do with different individuals. My concerns were on listening, to the extent my brother asked if I'm hard-hearing,thank God I did okay.I need 6.0 and it's just for visa sake and I can't wait to see my results.

posdream:

Yes o. Your result shall be good. IJN. Actually with humility, I don't seems to have problem hearing any english accent cos I love it. The war na to speak d accent myself but fluent with our naija english (not pidgin o. LMAO). But no matter how fast...God has been faithful. I can even write the fastest raps..lol

@all please any answers to my prev. questions as in sponsor level. Thanks

ferdimako:

The best accent I love is Amaerica's but I won't be heading there for now. Please don't try to force a foreign accent that day, they want your cohesion,tenses and parts of speech and idioms too that day.Anything clear with some good vocabulary.

Anybody can act as your sponsor, you could just link the person to your course with a letter of explanation to that effect and a sworn affidavit of support.

posdream:


Thanks ferdimako. But I don't understand. Will the money of the sponsor get affected. And like how much will guarantees my visa. I'm going for a 6month course first. I was thinking of paying my tuition in full from naija before going then work to pay the next course of another 1year. Just to meet aunty jenny's advice on d PR stuffs. I don't knw if I'm wise sha. But the only money I can get is d tuition that's why I'm keen on d sponsors money o. Make debt no come heap for my neck. I hope its just to show sha.

N like hw much do u advise for someone like me. Note*A 6month course.

ferdimako:

Yeah, nobody takes his money. Wait until the school asks you to pay. Have you applied for admission?

shima83: @mcdon60 and @redreact thank you so much for responding. pls what is the difference btw public college and private college?

jennykadry: Lol @ accent, let me tell a story. I have been accused of having two different accents. English and Australian These people need some ear drops to clear their ears. I argued with one physiotherapist for hours one day at work that I was not born in England and I am not English. For where....

A nurse once told me that I say "NOT-AT-ALL" like "not-a-all". You kidding me? I talk very fast that's why I miss out the T in the "at"

My parents complained about my accent being too strong but then told me mine was icing on the cake compared to my kids, cos they can never understand those ones at all It's funny hearing my parents ask them to repeat themselves and my kids getting frustrated cos they've said the same thing 50 times over, sometimes they just take a deep breath and not continue

My best accent..........Is Irish. I am beginning to love canadian though.
auty jenny, you are welcome. how is australia today?

posdream:


Ok. Ty on that.
I haven't applied but I have gone thru every site I should. I'm considering GCIT and sunshine coast TAFE. Its in aged care and community service.

RedReact: ^^^
Don't you think that route of extending stay via going from certificate (6 months) to Diploma (12 months) to Advanced Diploma (2 years) going to cost you money? because that is the you can apply for a PR, except you are being sponsored by a company after you might have done a Certificate + Diploma programs.

posdream:

thanks what do you suggest? yes the money is going to be a big problem, i have just been thinking. do u feel i apply for diplomas straight? most courses are 1 or 1.5 yrs and thats not up to 2 year course. moreover the cost are so bogus. certs tuition are cheap i dont just know im clouded here sincerely.
please people help. what do i do? still working towards feb 2014.

mcdon60: there are a lot of cheap VET colleges in Australia where you can pay $6,000 and $8,500 tuition per session and would require you to pay between $1,900 and $4,200 tuition deposit for your eCOE. For you not to have issues with your visa being granted or avoid No Further Stay visa condition all because of our assesment level in Nigeria (Assesment level 3 i.e high risk level or high tendency of running away), why not simplify thimgs for yourself and go for a 1.5 yrs or 2yrs diploma course which also put you in a better condition for PR after 2yrs of study if a potential employer is wiling to sponsor you. Your visa will automatically allow you to work part time for only 20hrs per week during term times and unlimited hours during holidays but don't go solely to australia thinking you will work to pay your tuition except you want to augument it because to get a part time job is not easy except for some few success stories and most importantly, it will affect your performance or attendance accademically and once that hapens, you will be reported to immigration immidiately. I wish you all the best.

jennykadry:
Thanks for your response concerning my question meanwhile i will do as you said.Bye

Write to the school and ask if you can defer the admission. Only the school can answer this one as some courses can be deferred whilst others cant. Write to flinders

ferdimako:

Good one!Is it one application for both of you? PR path is the sweetest.

rufychuks:
Thanks man, must i be registered with the relevant body first?

Nwokenna:

Yes it was for both of Us. I'm the primary applicant.
