chris63863 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I am from Greece. I have a diploma from Australia but it was only a 6 month course and I would like to know if this would satisfy the education requirement or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Can you give us the name of the diploma and the subject, and what university/college did you study at? Some private colleges may issue "diplomas" but they are not an officially recognised qualification, they're just a recognition of having completed their course. So you need to check whether your diploma is a recognised one or not. Here's an explanation that may help: https://brownsprofessional.edu.au/blog/certificate-vs-diploma-what-is-the-difference/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris63863 Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 @Marisawright It's a diploma of business from Lonsdale institute. It was a 6 month course. The institute was/ is on the CRICOS website. I am asking because I had asked a migration lawyer and she told me I am not eligible for the WHV because my course was only 6 months and that it needs to be at least 2 years but I cannot seem to find where it says that anywhere. She also said she cannot find anywhere what type of tertiary qualification Greek nationals should have but on the home affairs website, it clearly states diplomas for Greece.

If she is a registered migration agent she should either know the answer or know where to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The relevant legislative instrument simply states that for applicants holding Greek passports; "tertiary qualifications OR successful completion of at least two years of undergraduate university study" is required.
