Hi there,

As George Lombard says why not look at PR study pathway in related
Community & Health Services Area (or potential sponsorship while
studying & working). TAFE WA accepts candidates and gives credits based
on previous qualifications and work experience.

We just got offer from TAFE WA for London cab driver to Horticulture
based upon fact that he was mature and CV outlining all life and work
experience.

And my point was that an NVQ 3 CAN pass with VETASSESS, at no stage did I say that it will pass in all cases.

Hi Nessie

Hope the info I gave you as helped I told you there was loads of other ways,
have you spoken to the guy at Melbourne Amb service yet let us know how it went on and any other info i can help you with give us a PM.
Its nice to be able to put something back into BE as i have taken so much out
See there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.

hi mate phoned mark chilton last night not good news seemingly the procedure is different now and he can now only assess via MAS who pay him.Have sent email to MAS to see if they can help in any way.According to mark system changed 3 months ago typical just my luck never mind there must be another away ta much for all info the search goes on next step maybe get different agents view

Give us a ring Nessie don't give up hope Mas may come back with something yet.

Sorry you seem to have a problem understanding this, but where did I say that NVQ would pass VETASSESS? But life is far too short to bother with anymore replies, bye bye

Thats the point, you didn't say it would, you actually said that "My point was that NVQ III/IV WON'T get a positive skills assessment" and I'm saying that in some cases it WILL get a positive skills assessment.

I believe its you that has a problem undertstanding, but yes, life is too short to carry on with this, bye bye.

If you go to the Queensland Ambulance Service website they are inviting paramedics from the UK to apply for them. Hope this helps.

thanks will give it a try

Hi Nessie was just about to PM you with the info no need now it looks promising keeping fingers crossed keep us informed how you get on.

Did read an article that DIMA had been doing it wrong with Para/Med quals keep reearching and you will find an answer.

Hello,

regarding study work rights, part time during school term but full time
during holidays, and....many programs now include paid work in addition
to part time hours, especially in hospitality cookery areas.
