Some of Uni u posted here (RMIT, Uni of Sydney, Uni of Queensland, Monash, QUT, Macquarie University etc) are Australian top rated Unis and I very much doubt if they will NOT require proof of payment At least I know of University of Melbourne cos I enrolled there in Elect Eng (M.Eng) Feb 2014 and prior to been issued offer letter or visa or both (can't recall now) I submitted proof of payment from my sponsor.

Done with studies and now have my PR; issued this October

By the way, my graduation ceremony is this dec 2016, y'all are invited

Hi, I wrote the test @ PTE centre at Ikeja and I paid 50k for the voucher. You can contact the PTE representative David Fapohunda for the voucher via david.fapohunda@pearson.com. Check this link to download materials http://www.allinfi.com/pte-pearson-tests-of-english-materials-and-articles-free-download I studied for the test and when I was satisfied with my preparation, I bought the voucher and registered the same day and wrote the test 2 days after. Hope you find this useful. Cheers.

Your program determines who your sponsor will be. What program are you going for?

lizzyrinola:
Diploma in Leadership and Management

You're welcome. I'm a sis though. Goodluck with your exam.

WestAfrican:

You will be assessed under Level 3 which means you are a high risk applicant. For such reason, only those list below can be your sponsor:

(a) the applicant (meaning yourself);
(b) the applicant’s spouse or de facto partner;
(c) a parent of the applicant;
(d) a grandparent of the applicant;
(e) a brother or sister of the applicant;
(f) an uncle or aunt of the applicant who is:
(i) an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen; and
(ii) usually resident in Australia.

In the meanwhile, you need to provide alot of documents to support your application, documents such as: landed property, ties back home (ready work), relationship with your sponsor and strong statement of purpose etc.

Having said that, if your program has a pathway to university or degree program you will be assessed as a level 1 applicant and will not need to worry much about providing some of the aforementioned documents.

Hope that helps.
