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.

What kind of job where you offered/are you apply for?

If you can tell me the exact role, I might be able to tell if it's necessary to write an IELTS exam or if Ecctis will suffice and all you have to do is back it up with evidence

Some H&C Job still requires IELTS, a few of such job is Nursing Jobs and Medical Doctors

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

degree certificate + medium of instruction letter + transcript.

Apply on the website with these, make payment and expect your result in 2 weeks or less

Care Assistant

Same thing as well.. Did my UK MSc in 2012 and contemplating IELTS or Naric

mydeporch:

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

Don't you think that you were able to graduate from UK with a masters is more than enough proof that you can speak English

You might not believe that you can speak English but the Home office does so you are exempt . A quick search in Google should have shown you that

Juxxi:




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

I will advice you just go for the Band 4 courses since you certain you would be certified. The higher the level and skill, the higher the tendency of getting the sponsor you need plus your career development and growth will be faster than way... And I really don't know how it works for Health Care Assistant but for Health Workers, you can choose to go a step lower while doing your job search if you want which means you can get to apply for both Band 4 and 3 jobs if that's applicable for you guys as well

To others who are hoping to get Sponsored jobs too. Please let me share a few tips that might help.
1. Download the CV app and register duly and make every experience be it internship or volunteer jobs count. Also be very sure of the referees you will be using for your CV cos they will be contacted before you can be issued your offer letter when you eventually get the job. Also I would advise that you download a sample CV in your job field and follow the templates. Your CV matters a lot and is almost like the master key that will unlock every other doors Of your career progression.
2. After you have successfully built a good CV, good on Apps like Indeed, TotalJobs, Glassdoor and NHS websites and register. Then upload your CV. Some of these websites have assessments that you would be needing to complete and indeed even gives the option to write a cover letter. That’s like a golden opportunity to sell yourself. Please do notices that.
3. Now in order to avoid applying to multiple job openings that you are qualified for but can’t get because they don’t have Tier 2 sponsorship license. You can go to Gov.uk and check the lengthy list of licensed sponsors. Write the employers that fit in your field then go back to Indeed and the other apps and just input the names. It will for sure bring out available job openings and you start sending in your applications.
4. In my case I made it a point of duty at a point to apply to 10jobs in a day. Yes it was stressful and at some point I gave up and trust me that was when I got the call. Matter of fact I I did 2 interviews in one day and got the both jobs. At some point i felt I was wasting time and it seemed almost impossible considering my level of education and all even my sister told me to give up but God showed up.
5. While waiting you can get your Naric assessments ready as it lasts for a lifetime and you would need it for English proficiency or better still do IELTS exams. To avoid any form of delay after getting your CoS
You can also do your TB tests as people are finding it so difficult to book test dates and the result is Valid for just 6 months And of course except you lose focus you would have gotten a headway around the Job issue before the expiration. The only problem here is just that you would be needing a UK address while filling the form.
You will also be needing a police certificate but you can easily get that at Alagbon and you can’t apply for it pre employment because it is only valid for 3 months and
6. lastly and most importantly get your funds ready. A lot of these employers are not ready to pay for anything. They even see the CoS as a huge favor which sadly is in this part of the world. So you need to get your funds ready CoS agencies are “bombarding” them with applications but I think they just stretch out to select random applications here and there. So once they see you are dragging your matter, they move on to the next eligible candidate.
Let opportunities meet you prepared at all times. Especially since it’s Japa season and everyone is looking for a way to legitimately escape this Buhari’s wahala and secret achievements� Please I’m open to more hindsights as I still have a lot of people who want to try this visa route too.
God will see us all through ��

This is apt, informative and affirmative. I will give it a go

Sorry bro but you did your masters in the UK since 2012 & you couldn't get a job in the UK?

So, why are people spending so much money on this abroad postgraduate anyways

Hello bro, have you heard from them?

luckygeee:
Hello famz. I got an offer from an home care company. They already have their license but said they are waiting for COS allocation. They gave me a training link to take some free but mandatory training course which I have started taking. My concern is does every home care have to wait for allocation from UKVI even after securing the license? I haven't received an official offer letter yet but just told I have been offered employment and should do the training.

Hello, have you heard from them too?

Brainpower365:
I am in the same situation. I have even called them severally to know the process of things.

You don't need IELTS or Naric. Your UK degree is sufficient. Just submit a copy of your certificate with your application.

Thanks and noted

I just got informed today about Nightingale Caregivers Academy. They issue care certificates to their learners but my friend does not know if it's NVQ or TQUK equivalent and if it will be sufficient for use in UK NHS care worker jobs. Please does anyone know about them? They claim to be affiliated with American Caregivers Association. Also, there's no review yet on the courses they're offering.

This is their link.https://www.nightingalescaregivers.com/all-courses/

Dude it wasn't that easy..and remember post study visa was discontinued in April 2012.

That's why I don't want to talk much about my qualification sometimes. Life's realities.

I also read about the benefit of previous study. Some things can just be confusing sometimes.
Thanks to everyone for the clarity provided.

Good evening everyone,

I don't know if anyone has had any experience with any of this. I was supposed to get my passport today and waited all day only for me to receive a text message and an email from DHL that I was not at home.

While tracking my package, I noticed that it was delivered to a third party agent!

No number called me. No one knocked at my gate.

Does anyone know the next step?

Call or send them an email immediately. They are supposed to call you as soon as they got to your address.

I have called and the Customer Care number is unavailable. I have sent tons of emails this evening immediately I got the message.

Send a complaint email to UKVI and also use Google maps to find the nearest DHL office to you to lodge a complaint.

Hi everyone
I have a Bsc in Physiology and an MSc in Pharmacology in Nigeria. I need your advice. Should I include my MSc degree in applying for care jobs or you feel it might hamper my chances in securing care jobs and my Visa applications.

Maybe they are waiting for their sponsorship license to come through

Hi guys, I got a job in the UK and the company is reading to sponsor the visa, help me to apply and cover all the cost. They were now asking what will be the next step, how will I get the visa if they do all that from the UK?

The employer will need to process your COS which you will ise in making your application.
