Hnc
Hiya everyone
We already have our PR visas and hope to move permanently to OZ later this year. We are going to validate the visa in April.
However, one thing that may slightly delay our permanent move is my Husband's college course.
He is currently doing a HNC in Construction and will not complete this part-time course until June 2008.
Can anyone tell me if this qualification is recognized in OZ? This will have a bearing on how soon we move as he may be better starting another course in Oz if the HNC is not recognized.
Anyone Help?
Cheers
Jo

Re: Hnc
Yes the HNC is recognised in Queensland and you can obtain a free certificate of 'Overseas Qualification Assessment' from the Department of Employment and Training - Skills Recognition Service.
Address: Level 4, 543 Lutwyche Rd, PO Box 820, Lutwych OLD 4030.
Their assessment on my own HNC's - "The Higher National Certificate is assessed, in broad terms, at the educational level of an Australian (AQF) Advanced Diploma.
My wife's HND was assessed at the exact same level - you can imagine how happy she was at that, since it took her a year longer in study!
Personally I have found the mention of having an Advanced Diploma very well recived on applying for jobs
Hope this helps
Regards, Scot

Re: Hnc
Heres a reply to the same question I asked to a Qualifications recognition site...
For details about non-graduate level qualifications, please see the National qualifications Framework on the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority website, www.qca.org.uk/493_15772.html. It may also be helpful to contact UK NARIC, who is the official information provider on the comparability of international qualifications from over 180 countries worldwide. Their website is www.naric.org.uk.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
