Let's hope for an architect to come along to provide insights? In the meantime, using my engrg background, I went checking and came up with the following The body that regulates architecture in the UK is the ABA - https://arb.org.uk/ The official register is collated at https://architects-register.org.uk/ As with anything else in the UK, starting point is the gov site. To become an architect - www.gov.uk/architect Process, qualifications, exams - https://arb.org.uk/architect-information/applying-for-registration-for-the-first-time/i-hold-overseas-non-recognised-uk-qualifications/ See: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/architects-registration-board While still in 9ja, let your friend join this institute. www.architecture.com/join-riba Pls note just as in engrg, the regulatory body is different from the professional body. Being a senior architect in 9ja, what registration does (s)he holds and with of the body does (s)he belongs to in 9ja? My personal view Anyone that is a qualified architect in 9ja (Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) Professional Practice Examination (PPE)) should not have it that difficult following the UK ARB route (above). NB: I still think though that there should be some sort of cross recognition (like we have in engrg like the Washington Accord et al). In any case, 9ja allows those formally qualified in their own country to 'skip' the qualification requirement towards PPE (as I understand it) PS: I'm not an architect!!! Let your friend join RIBA as an Associate - www.architecture.com/join-riba/associate-membership Move to the UK to do a recognised PG course in Arch, while simultaneously working towards chartered Or attempt doing a Professional Practice PG Cert/PG Dip in Arch on part time while in 9ja and working towards chartered membership of RIBA All the best Amarathripple0:[UPDATED] Found what I was hoping for. A direct process to becoming chartered. I'll assume, just like for engrg, it's not going to be a walk in the park but should be straightforward for one that is genuinely qualified and practicing professionally. Applying for RIBA Chartered Membership via MEAP - www.architecture.com/join-riba/individual-chartered-membership/meap

I can't agree more with Koonbey. OP is in a termination period. He holds 'em no explanation. None. Zilch. They irony is the company, using their financial advantage and possibly access to pool of lawyers, embark on an unending civil matter against OP, using OP words against him. Can OP win, yes he can and claim damages. However, the drain on his finances, wellbeing, health, impact on new job will be so severe. The way I see OP (Progressivegee) going about this matter, he's not being firm enough and circumspectly articulated. He might also been acting impulsely on too many advices. Well, I know the Bible alluded to ... Safety in the multitude of counsel ... But then, that is to reflectively reflect and act accordingly. PS: I don't mean to be rude.

ICaSNg is correct regarding UK visa. I believe she's talking from vantage point of experience. Majority transit via UK. However, if you have a direct flight to Ireland (Dublin) or connecting without passing through UK (say for instance Dubai or Doha), then you don't need UK visa.

In the ordinary sense Heathrow to Manchester would count as domestic flight. Well, unless you're not coming out of the flight at Heathrow! It all depends on what the connection is (from which Terminal). If you must get to security whilst following "connecting flight" path, then boarder control kicks in.

Amarathripple0 is spot-on. Thanx a bunch. Lemme chip in with emphasis. Think like a PM, talk like a PM, relate to scenarios as a PM, express as a PM. While at it, learn to differentiate the role and scope of a PM to a Program/portfolio Mgr/Director (and if need be a project coordinator). Note, the 'higher' one goes towards portfolio mgt, the more value (benefit realisation), change mgt and risk becomes strategically important. One area I know is important is risk. Know how to anticipate risk, handle/manage risk and to learn from risk. It covers every stages of a project and handover. Risk in project might vary slight from risk in infosec/cybersec. If you can afford it, volunteer for PM or project coordinator roles. If you do, do it with utmost diligence (at least for the sake of that elusive experience and footinthedoor, and possibly building network) NB: PM principle stays and last, however the nuances evolves over time.

There's the YouKay way and the 9ja way. Each comes in 2s The 9ja way of accommodating and also gra gra. There's the YouKay way of cold-shoulder and politeness (though can be passive aggressive!) You've shown/given the YouKay politeness and 9ja accommodating. That's how it ought to be. However, when things turn around, then the cold-shoulder comes in without the gra-gra. Though passive aggressive might be needed! I'm a believer of the two-sided story. However, even at that, there's the on face value (prima facie). In the circumstances, read up on @Ticha posts on room/house boarder. There's recourse in 'law' (without the need of 9ja gra-gra. All the best.

Read this definitive YouKay page and read in-between the line of the journalistic write-up. https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/switch-to-this-visa Essentially, apart from 'trafficking' traffic, the whole jist is that requirement of a degree is being dropped! IMHO, this only relates to the job skill requirement. It's not a free for all automatic students to skilled worker visa. But then, won't that be great? The 'subtle' change in eligibility (that is dropping the degree requirement) is welcomed. By the way, wonder how #Suella will take it in!!! Short response to your enquiry is 'Yes' However, the Yes is based on the clarity above. No degree eligibility NB: technically, a degree has not been mandatory however, it is typically required! I guess this update is simply adapting to the real-life reality. In any case, expect more COS, more sponsoring companies, and unavoidably more YouTubers! obitryce: 4 Likes |
