Dears,
Can anyone advise if getting a Band 4 certificate have more advantage than Band 3 certificate in search of job with sponsorship.
Someone close to me is presently doing a Band 3 certificate course and was told if they needed to be issued a band 4 certificate since the curriculum is the same the person should just take one more course at additional fees to get the Band 4 certificate instead of the band 3 certificate..

You can't have band 4 except you're inducted and you have done some physical practicals
If you buy the course you won't be able to fulfill everything necessary to have the certificate
As long as you're outside UK the maximum you can have is band 3

I also wanted to but got stuck because I needed to perform physical practicals which is not possible because I'm not in the country

I even mailed them they didn't respond to me

Don't waste your money just do band 3 and keep applying

The agency is organizing 150 hours clinical in a reputable hospital here in Nigeria so the practical class is covered. The major issue is if it will aid in the job search

Maybe you should make a snapshot of the requirements on gov uk website and send to them that it is either of the two.

The advice given by Teewhy2 is nice. You can also include the specific UKVI link that outlines ways to prove English language proficiency - https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/knowledge-of-english and also the Ecctis link - https://www.ecctis.com/visasandnationality for them to confirm.

PS Don't forget to give us feedback on the outcome.

Since Juxxi has shared his experience in a similar situation, you may need to confirm from the institution if there are further conditions limiting someone outside the UK from completing and being awarded the level 4 certificate. If you're assured that there's none, then you may go for it. Cheers.

yes ma'am @ lagosismyhome..

i was asking for covid vaccine ...
this is what the company wrote >>>>> **BE FULLY COVID VACCINATED WITH EVIDENCE**

so im wondering if there's designated centres for that?.. or could i just get it anywhere ?

LagosismyHome:


I am a female ...

Covid. You mean covid vaccine and not covid test ?

@efilefun... hello sir?

i saw your responce regarding the TB test.. ..

im asking, since they seem fully booked online, ..

Could i go straight to the office & still get the thing done WITHOUT having to pay upfront?? ..
(As stated on their website https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria >>>>>>>>
Payment must be made prior to the medical examination in USD or NAIRA. / Payment should be made to the respective bank accounts below through bank transfer / Cash payment will not be accepted by the examining centre )

efilefun:
Go to their office, I know a couple who went there today. Paid, got tested and also received their result today. Just go very early.

The 1270 proof of fund, anyone with the equivalent in naira, can I write the ielts after obtaining appointment letter.

The vaccine is regulated. I don't think just anybody gives vacine so if you see vaccine then it is an approved provider.

Hello everyone, for someone who volunteered in a hospital for care experience, what should I use for my CV heading?
Care Assistant or Health Care Assistant?

I'm applying to care homes.

Good morning, forget their site. Go straight to the office very early, they will generate a code for you, make payment via mobile transfer, print proof of payment and if possible get ur test done same day or get a date of ur choice.

Am also interested in the update please. I intend applying for Naric ..I am contemplating on whether I should opt for Naric or just do the IELTS they recognize easily.
All the best.

Good morning my people,

I want to enquire about affordable schools that accept HND/ND for masters in social work/healthcare. I have a friend that has been facing difficulties with finding such. Most of the options school offers are pre-masters + masters for HND holders. Issue with this is that both programmes have to be for at once, which is expensive. So if we can find a school that offers a pre-masters alone or masters for social work, public health or any health related course, will really appreciate pointers or suggestions.

My man@ efilefun.....

Thanks for the prompt responce sir.. .. appreciate it..

So i might need to pay in naira and its going to be the EXACT USD equivalent right? .. i hope they wont start asking me to add a little something for them. (if you know what i mean)

Cos all of our cash is bugdeted now, for all these payments that is needed here & there..

But yeah, i salute you sir..

Thanks indeed....

Best wishes..



OH,
by the way, please, what do you know about this SURCHAGE payment??.. everyone needs to pay that too?? during the visa application or what?
So, we pay the SURCHAGE & then pay the VISA APPLICATION fees too .. right?

Thanks I will confirm. I am just thinking if it will give more edge in job search.

@LagosismyHome..
I thank you maam for writing back...

Since the vaccine is regulated, im thinking on just getting the test & sending the proof (covid card) to the company.. .
i think it may suffice...

please, what do you say maam??

No it’s not ENA care.

You paying naira equivalent and they use cbn rate I think… you don’t need to tip anyone there… they are well organized. About the health surcharge I have no idea about it cuz health related jobs are exempted from paying

I think it’s their ignorance jare. It’s clearly written on the uk government website. Most of these oyinbos don’t know much about immigration rules.

So I sent a mail and she replied “ We will gain confirmation from our solicitor and come back to you should we require any further test reports.”

So I believe the Solicitor should be more informed and hopefully my Ecctis would be accepted.

Thanks guys.

That's the truth. Sometimes not all the applicable requirements are known. I even thought with UK Masters submitted for assessment, it will be helpful. I am already looking into booking IELTS o...I pray it's positive outcome....... I believe the Solicitor will know better .

My man @ efilefun... . thank you bro... .. thanks indeed !!

I love hearing this type of stuff.... .. "" that they are well organized""..


As far as the HEALTH SURCHAGE fees, i hope i dont need to pay the d**n thing.. . i'm going for a SENIOR CARE WORKER job ...

So Godwilling, im exempted too..?.. . -- all fingers crossed--


Anyways, appreciate you sir... thanks a lot..

I’m not sure if I understand you. But if you have a Uk degree, you don’t need Ecctis or IELTS to prove your knowledge of English Language.

While applying for the Health Care Assistant Visa, are we among those meant the pay the Health Surcharge fee?

DeeOneBangin:


I’m not sure if I understand you. But if you have a Uk degree, you don’t need Ecctis or IELTS to prove your knowledge of English Language.

What I meant is that I have a master qualification in 2012 from UK. That's why I opted for Naric.
Am in Nigeria and not in UK. In the case of this application, one need a proof....I believe

Please will NARIC accept notification of results instead of degree cert and what bank is acceptable by UKVI for IELTS,I’m already in the UK….thanks

Please what the process in obtaining Ecctis certificate. Response will be appreciated.

Application should be done using your degree certificate to avoid delays in your application approval

As regarding the payment, it can be done from any bank as long as you don't have limitations on the card being used for the payment

I stand to be corrected but I believe your Uk master degree is enough to prove your knowledge of English. You don't need Naric or Ielts
