Thanks claire, ive much prefer to just increase my NVQ however I have been advised to get a diploma. thanks

Its confusing - thanks - Im a Call center manager thanks Julie

Hi All Any one know which diploma you need as a minimum to be recognised in OZ- I think its level 5 but cant be sure ? thanks

hi. So I am a little confused with my qualifications over here and the information that I have received has been mixed. i currently have a NVQ level 3, which is not a high enough qualification. I am looking for a diploma qualification however does it have to be a level 4 diplomats a minimum ? Level 4 of the National Qualifications Framework is what apparently is the equivalent for an Australia diploma , could this be a NVQ level 4 however ? I am looking to see if I would be better off getting an increased NVQ or should I just go for level 4 diploma as this is the minimum I need for Australia ? also on the Australia website it states that as long as you have 3 years experience then this may substitute for the qualification, is so confused as do I really need additional qualifications or is this just to assist with the points and then to secure a job when in Australia ? thanks for any advice

I will do thanks Alan

Thanks cjenky, you have given me hope again ! Go Matilda basically told me no, however I have contacted another agent and also vetassess to see what they suggest. My NVQ was through work and only took about 9 month, go Matilda thought this was not right, surely an NVQ is an NVQ regardless of how long it took !! i will investigate nvq4 tomorrow thanks again and good luck with your app

Bad news I'm afraid had a good email chat with marina fro. Go Matilda, she was great with her advice, she advised I would have to get state sponsor as my job is on the Csol only, my NVQ 3 is not high enough, I would be able to get NVQ 4 but again she said they would have to check the courses, I asked about her fees and was told she would not give them as did not think I would qualify. My cousin who is in oz is going to try and look into sponsorship for me, trying to stay positive but at least I know without shelling out on any money Gutted

Just checked, I have a Edexcel level 3 NVQ in management issued 2011

Thanks adonna, It seems more unlikely that this is going to happen , however I have contacted go Matilda to see if they can help me further, I am going to dig out my NVQ and see what it says for definite. Fingers crossed ! Thanks again, ps I think I'm already mad starting this process lol !

Fab, thank you, yes, the gov page is telling me one thing, I have contacted go Matilda and I will ask them my questions too. Thanks again

Brilliant, thanks very much for all your advice, I think getting an agent for further assistance is worth while, how does the skills assessment work ? I have got NVQ in management, however I'm not sure that would be recognised , my employer does not offer anything formal, so I may have a look at some courses thanks again everyone

hi all, is there any web pages that I can register on to see if I can get a sponsored visa to australia, my job is on the SOL list so really not sure if this is even an option. Just curious how people get these ? Thanks

Hiya, thanks for your swift response, yes native English, I am a call centre manager in sales and I have I house qualifications only, no degree or higher education unfortunately, I have been in the role over 8 years so I am assuming it will have to be works experience thanks

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, and am looking for some help, I'm 33 and looking to come over on a 189, 190 visa if possible, I'm a little confused about the points system asI would have to score 20 points in the English test, how realistic is this ? I have had a quick look at the mock tests and they look difficult and if I don't get full points I won't get to 60 and therefore pointless proceeding as my husbands job is not on the skilled list. Also I was looking to complete the visa application myself, if I don't get the points I need would I be better to go through an agent as on the visa wizard it states that there are more visas not on there ? Also I have an aunt, and cousins in adelaide however this does not seem to make a difference and they cannot sponsor me, I am unsure why I would appreciate any help, thanks
