Hi Guys advice needed- My brother has completed his AQF III diploma from Tafe. His nominated occupation is Baker which is on MODL. I was wondering if we can claim MODL 15 points by showing that he has worked 20 hrs per week in last 1 year. Is this work experience has to be after he completed his course or his work experience during the course can be used. His was a paid employment period. Any views on this shall be highly appreciated- I understand there are many people here working in IT occupations and sailing in the same boat.

Regards,
RAES.

No it doesn't. On a student visa to apply for PR you need to gain 900 hours work experience during your course. Your course needs to run for 2 years.

I think that the work has to be 'skilled' which means the work BEFORE he was qualified may not count.

I would suggest speaking to a registered migration agent
