Interesting. Just to confirm: was the £800 inclusive of the exam registration fee? As a broke UK JJC, I run from all these UK tutors oo. I feel their rates are too high. I've done two related exams since I came in and here's what I do. Buy courses on Udemy or Coursera (5-10k Naira), study them alongside other materials. Take multiple assessments, register for the exams, write and pass the exams. Where una dey see this money. mizGene: 3 Likes 1 Share |

I did long time ago through self-study. Just buy the textbook and study it. Practice with past questions and then register for the exam through any of the providers. Cheaper than going for the actual training + exams but you still need to get work experience. I had it so it wasn't difficult for me and I did it up to the practitioner level then. jimps: 1 Like |

lightnlife:Yes, includes exam fees. And yes your strategy is good, that is what I would do normally, buy cheap on Udemy and self study. But I didn't have the luxury of time to self study- I learn real fast if I'm taught by an expert so I went that route since I needed the cert real quick. Funny enough, the online class was filled with Indians, just 2 of us in the UK. The tutor was Indian as well. This made me imagine that the Indians probably paid local/lesser fees...might be worth exploring what someone in "Nija" would be billed. 1 Like |

This country is really not easy, was having a conversation with a friend and we were arguing about NHS roles. The gist of the argument was if it is possible for a foreigner (Nigerian) on a student visa to get an operational manager band 8a sponsorship role with no NHS experience and only 7-8 years Nigerian non health care operational experience. I was of the opinion that chances are extremely slim but my friend swore that is is very possible and she has seen cases of this, I don’t know what to believe because the stories I’ve heard is that it’s not possible and for people not to bother applying to band 8a roles. I really want to know if it’s true so I thought to bring it here to seek advise from people more experienced in this journey. Please, I will really appreciate your thoughts as the thinking that one won’t get a band 8a role has really discouraged a lot of people I know from applying. |

Strata1716:It is POSSIBLE. Many ppl have done it. Like every other role, prepare for it, craft a great CV and keep applying. 1 Like |

Strata1716: If she says she has seen cases then obviously it's possible abi. If you feel you have the qualifications, no harm in applying - the worst that will happen is they'll say 'no'. Must be said, however, that there are many ways to skin a cat, and it might be wise to simultaneously target lower bands to get that basis from which to go up. Just in case. 1 Like |

Hello everyone that has successfully crossed to UK. Can you guys help in dropping any nursing homes /NHS offering COS if you know any? It has been a tug of war since all these agencies hijacked the program and the amount they are calling is too high. Even if one could afford the fees, what is the assurance that it is not a scam.

lavida001: Baba spill the tea, ;let people hear the other side of the story. First I must apologies if you are not the person in the story, I am sorry as I would be addressing you as though you are the one (since poster said the person involved is on nairaland,I belive he would read this). Regardsless of what the story is though you are one ungrateful person. Let me give you some perspective. If People house you for over a month and feed you, giveup their bedroom, inconvinence themselves all in one room and you still looking for an accommodation that meets your standards then you are one very ungrateful and selfish person that only thinks about himself like someone earlier suggested. You should pay for airbnb so you know how valuable having accomodation is in this rishi sunak's UK. Your host has a very large heart, infact too large a heart, person wey dey fight him wife because of you, you dey open mouth dey talk like say na your entitlment. Na narcissist you be. My brother wey na only me am my mama born, I tell am point blank say him no go fit stay with me when he land for him studies. My guy if I were you when I move out, I would buy a thank you gift for my host because they have been more than magnanimous. But then again a narcissist wouldnt, he would claim victim till the very end. 16 Likes |

Good day seniors in the house. I just got my student visa and I would study in Dundee Scotland. I need y’all advise on how to get a job (anything that can put some money in my pocket for the now) haven’t worked 9-5 for many years now. I would actually want a driving job because driving is one of my hobbies. I know it wouldn’t be easy and I’m prepared for the worst. Any hint or advise please. God bless y’all. |
