Fashionably Late

My kids and I are eligible to apply for citizenship on 30/06/15. But we have to move in mid August to Dubai for work and for the kids to start the new school year there. Could I apply for Australian citizenship from the Australian embassy in Abu Dhabi as soon as we arrive there as I would have just left Australia or would it be possible to apply for Australian citizenship on 30/06 from Brisbane and hopefully be invited for the interview and test before mid-August and then fly back for the ceremony? Obviously it would be less hassle and less expensive to be able to apply from the UAE.

I work at a uni in Queensland and I went asked the Student Centre. The Uni doesn't have a choice in whether they would accept the English GCSE from the UK. They said your best bet would be to contact QTAC http://www.qtac.edu.au/ and ask them as they are who would would end up applying through.

I would think that they would definitely require an A level as the GCSE is only the equivalent to Grade 10. This is how UQ explained it to me.

ETA: Definitely worry about the fees too. She wouldn't qualify for HECS-HELP and would have to fund the student contribution.

New Zealand citizens and all other Australian permanent residents must pay their SCA up-front without a discount – they cannot obtain a HECS-HELP loan.

Both are recognised but Prince2 seems more desired. It also seems that a lot of recruiters aren't as aware of PMP and therefore reject applicants that are thoroughly qualified.
