Hi Paul,
Thanks for that, I am 35 at the end of year so may be pushing it for that one.
Read your posts while you were out in Brissie, glad to hear that it all went well for you, I must admit I have thought about brisabne and doing the hairdressing course, but its just with my brother being in Perth thats what draws me there, hubby has said that I should think about it some more after all we can always go to Perth once course is finished, so I do keep pondering on it.
I got this yesterday which will be of interest to you I am sure although you may have already had it, its from one of the news letters that I recieve.
7. New policy on Two years of fulltime study in Australia
Changes to the 2 year study requirement
From 1 September 2005, the '2 year study requirement' will be modified to enable students undertaking the equivalent of 2 years study in a minimum of 16 months to satisfy this requirement.
This policy change recognises that many educational insbreastutions have introduced new academic year arrangements whereby 3 semesters of equal length are offered in a single calendar year, rather than the traditional 2 semesters.
BBC DiscussionThey can't 'make' people move anywhere. They can offer visas but it's up to individuals as to whether they choose to apply...
From 1 September 2005, students will meet the '2 year study requirement' if they can demonstrate that they have completed the equivalent of 2 years, that is 4 semesters-terms of full-time study in a minimum of 16 months.
Other requirements remain unchanged - that each course of study undertaken must be:
еб CRICOS Registered; еб conducted entirely in English; еб undertaken in Australia at an Australian educational insbreastution; and еб involve a full-time study load for each term-semester of study remain unchanged.
Further information about the 2 year study rule will be available on the Department's website from 1 September 2005, when the new policy takes effect.
