After the closing of pathway D to me, I am looking at other avenues to go to Australia.
Can studying in Australia lead to eventual PR, I have been looking at this course and quite fancy this is a new career.
here
But would completion of this 2 year course allow me to apply for work as its on the MODL list? And I would have zero experiance in this field of work.
Any advice much appreicieted.
Thanks, Lee.

Does it matter thats its theory based? I only want to go to perth as thats where my family is and they will be sponsoring me if I complete the course and also can you go out there as soon as you get the student visa and work full time until schooling starts?

Yes it matters, as I said I am going to perth and wanted to do this course but was told if I was studying in in relation to getting pr it is no use what so ever and would need to do it at melbourne. Ring study options as its them who tod me.

This depends on how many points you need. If you are under 30 when the course finishes you may get away with only 6 months full time work. I will be over 30 but as I will be doing my course in 'rural' Australia I will get an extra 5 points meaning I won't need to work the year, just the 900 hours.
Good luck

Hi werty1 just to butt in on lee's thread, you mentioned after you graduate you get another visa for 18 Months to give you chance to get your work experience, what is the name or type of visa is this classed as.
Hi lee I went through study options they are very good and got me a place, i have to go to melbourne even though my family live in and around WA, so some times you just got to put yourself out to reach your goals

Scottiew, we have spent a year trying to get over so far and unfortunetly I have an obsession with planning everything in minute detail. Not so good at actually getting off my bottom and doing it though.
I think we have had so many set backs it just doesn't feel like it will ever happen.
We were first offered a job in Sydney on a 457 visa, which fell though (mmm, that was a year ago this month) and then strung along by a company who were considering sponsoring for a RSMS visa, which never happened, although they did ask for my references, about 6 months after 1st telling me they would like me to apply for the job. My job is one which is down on the list as a spnsored job only. Once we get to Oz I will carry on applying and see if anyone is a bit more keen when I am actualy there.
And then there is the not being able to sell the house after a year and 5 months. (house sales falling through and current buyer taking a huge amount of time to do anything).
Anyway, it will happen, just have to be patient (she says rocking backwards and fowards).
Werty1 Adeliade TAFE, assuming we can get out by Febuary.

We were first offered a job in Sydney on a 457 visa, which fell though (mmm, that was a year ago this month) and then strung along by a company who were considering sponsoring for a RSMS visa, which never happened, although they did ask for my references, about 6 months after 1st telling me they would like me to apply for the job. My job is one which is down on the list as a spnsored job only. Once we get to Oz I will carry on applying and see if anyone is a bit more keen when I am actualy there.
And then there is the not being able to sell the house after a year and 5 months. (house sales falling through and current buyer taking a huge amount of time to do anything).
Anyway, it will happen, just have to be patient (she says rocking backwards and fowards).
Werty1 Adeliade TAFE, assuming we can get out by Febuary.
