Study route - can you help???
Hi all,
I'm interested in taking the study route to PR - has anyone taken this option? Have you heard anything about it?
I'm 26, from Dublin, Ireland. I work in Television Production, as a production manager (accounts, admin, health and safety, hire/fire scheduling etc) for the past 7 years. I have worked for both the BBC UK Networks and RTE (the Irish BBC), but sadly NZ don't require my skills.
My only option (not having gone to collage - I worked my way up) in my opinion is the trade/skills study route - am I correct?
Any advice would be greatly received!!!
Regards,
Mark

Re: Study route - can you help???
hello there..
I'm doing the study to PR option...once you have a nz qualification and with a job offer in your field of study..along with other options needed in the points system.you can apply for PR once your studies have finished...if not i think you can get a work permit and then apply for PR once you have enough points or have been in NZ for the required time...i must warn you..the fees are extortionate!!!
i'll confirm this once OH comes home as he knows these things better!
hope this helps!

This is very interesting & helpful Desert Bloom.
Are you coming in as an international student then? From your posts it does seem you will be paying international student fees.
What of your OH ? Will he remain outside of the UK, or will he come in on a visitors visa for just 6 months.
Do you have a link to the area of the NZIS website please

Thank you for sending a link to my blog.
I didn't know that it would make it to this forum - what a surprise.

I would like to know that if i have to take the study route, am i required to study for a certain period or can i just study something in the long term list (eg. chef - extensive 4 months course Cert 4 in Prof Cookery) and on completion get a job offer and PR.... or do i have to study for a period of 1.6 years... I have been told this by an Education Agent.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks

I rather meant a link to the section of the official NZIS website. The blog seems to be just a short precis of what is on the opening pages of the actual NZIS website .
This is what I found on the NZIS website HERE. Which, if any of these, are you and your partner coming on
