The unforgettable experience of studying TAFE courses in Australia

Personal profile: Liu Hao (pseudonym), studied electric welding at a public TAFE college in Australia. He has now completed the TAFE course and submitted an immigration application. Like many Chinese students who want to immigrate through TAFE courses, Liu Hao is full of yearning for Australian immigration, but also has a lot of confusion. Especially when he first arrived in Australia, his classmates were full of various "shortcuts" for immigrating to Australia, which made his thinking very confusing. Fortunately, I soon sorted out my thoughts, studied, practiced, and worked in a down-to-earth manner, and then applied for immigration.

Studying: After failing the college entrance examination, he switched to TAFE courses

Liu Hao has been studying in key schools from elementary school to high school. His original academic performance was not bad, but he made mistakes in the college entrance examination. I missed my ideal school. I learned that TAFE courses are relatively easy to study, with only three and a half days of classes per week, and many majors in the courses are majors in short supply for immigrants. Liu Hao chose the TAFE course without hesitation.

School: management is relatively loose

Due to the good enrollment situation of TAFE colleges in recent years, the colleges have to hire external teachers to teach. External teachers often come and go in a hurry, so If students have any questions during the course, it is difficult to find teachers for advice. But there are also teachers who care very much about their students. For example, Liu Hao's instructor during his internship was very enthusiastic. He not only patiently guided his internship, but also often invited him to his home.

Many students in the class have very clear and strong immigration purposes. Many of them do not focus on studying, but on how to get a green card. Overall, the learning atmosphere in the class was not as good as expected. But the learning process itself is "the master leads the door, and the practice is personal." As long as you calm down, you can definitely learn some knowledge and skills.

Working: Students with cars are more likely to find jobs

Liu Hao obtained a driver's license before going abroad and bought a car after arriving in Australia. Unexpectedly, this car played a huge role in his job search. Since many jobs are far away from schools, when looking for a job, employers usually ask job seekers if they have a car. If they have a car, it will be easier to get an offer from the employer. In two years, he worked as a welder and did odd jobs on construction sites, and finally racked up 900 hours of work.

Immigration: The application process became unclear

After the TAFE course, Liu Hao successfully submitted his immigration application. However, because Australia has just adjusted its immigration policy, it used to take half a year to know the outcome of the trial, but now it takes at least a year.
