Ways for Older Students with Low Education to Stay in Australia

In China, junior college students are in an awkward position. Although it is only one step away from the undergraduate course, it has always been at a disadvantage in the domestic academic society. The lack of academic qualifications has become an eternal pain in the hearts of junior college students. After working in the society for three to five years, many college graduates gradually find that their development space is seriously limited: the opportunities and prospects for development in China are not optimistic, and it is difficult to find jobs that they like and really suit them; Even if it is found, the development space is seriously limited.

Australia, as the only country that recognizes the academic qualifications of domestic junior college students and provides them with opportunities to advance to master's degree, its advantages in studying abroad are self-evident. It is the best way to change from blue-collar to white-collar for junior college students to apply for Australian master's degree and change their academic qualifications to enter famous schools. Master's degree is no longer an unattainable dream for junior college students.

In addition, TAFE (Technology and Continuing Education) is the fastest growing, most popular and most affordable study abroad program in recent years, attracting more and more students from China. Many older students with low academic qualifications choose to study in TAFE, and their dream of immigrating to Australia has been successfully realized.

Studying in Australia has always been known for its cost-effective immigration advantage. Another important advantage of studying in Australia is that students can work legally. Getting an Australian student visa automatically gives you the right to work legally in Australia, with no more than 20 hours per week during the semester and free work during holidays. Most students studying in Australia can use part-time income to pay their living expenses during their study abroad, which not only saves the expenses during their study abroad, but also accumulates valuable work experience, which is very beneficial to their development after graduation.

Australian master's preparatory course: the best shortcut for blue-collar workers to become white-collar workers

Postgraduate education is one of the most distinctive projects for studying in Australia. Studying in Australia is famous for its high cost performance, and the conditions for college graduates to study in Australia for master's degree can be said to be very favorable.

When domestic undergraduate graduates change majors and go to Australia to study some master's majors, they also have to attend the preparatory course for six months. Therefore, it can be said that it is very cheap for junior college students to study for the Australian master's preparatory course.

Experts remind students who want to study in the preparatory course that the domestic college diplomas recognized by Australia include three-year colleges, adult colleges and self-taught colleges. In addition, students who are seniors but do not have a degree usually plan this column. If students are studying in a college of an ordinary university (the school has the qualification to award undergraduate degrees and degrees), they can consider applying for a master's degree in Australia. After completing the preparatory course for about half a year, transfer to the master's program. The master's course is exactly the same as the master's course applied by ordinary college graduates, from the course setting to the degree certificate obtained after graduation.

TAFE: The First Choice Course to Realize the Dream of Australian Immigrants

TAFE (Technology and Further Education), short for College of Technology and Continuing Education, has long been the mainstream product for studying in Australia, from "nobody cares" in 2003 to "demand exceeds supply" today. However, what kind of people are suitable to choose TAFE courses in Australia? Are all students suitable for TAFE courses? How do different people choose the right TAFE major? Become the confusion of more and more prospective international students.

According to reports, the courses offered by TAFE College in Australia are mainly based on local employment needs, so most courses are in short supply, and most majors can get 60 points when applying for job evaluation of immigrants. Therefore, for students whose main purpose is to "immigrate to Australia", the most suitable choice is the TAFE course in Australia. Teacher Yan Weihua emphasized: Because most TAFE courses are directed at local jobs in short supply, immigrants have higher vocational evaluation scores and greater employment demand.

Students who have completed the TAFE stage and obtained the Australian green card can enjoy the preferential policy of credit reduction and exemption for studying in Australia, and the tuition fees are also paid according to the local standards in Australia, which is less than that of domestic students 1/3~ 1/2.

TAFE majors can be roughly divided into the following categories:

1) Tourism hotel management: including West Point, Western Kitchen, Master Pastry, Baker and other majors. Students need to have a certain interest and talent in cooking or west point, and both boys and girls can choose. In the Korean drama "My name is Saint Jin Shun" that many people have seen, the stadium in Saint Jin Shun is the West Point Stadium of the French Blue Ribbon Hotel in Australia. The protagonist Sanshun also has a qualification certificate that most people don't have, that is, the pastry technician qualification certificate obtained by the Paris Traditional Pastry School Blue Ribbon Hotel School. Therefore, students who want to be classic and delicious like Ss can choose the Blue Ribbon School in Australia.

2) Engineering/Auto Repair Major: This kind of course is more suitable for boys because of its professional characteristics, so it also avoids the competitive pressure of half of girls. Boys who are interested in engineering major and have strong hands-on ability suggest considering this major.

3) Building skills: This kind of course has similar characteristics to the engineering/auto repair major, and it is also more suitable for boys, mainly including bricklaying, ceiling, cabinet making, floor tile laying and other majors, which mainly require learners' physical quality and practical ability, and their salary is relatively high after graduation.

4) Horticulture/social welfare: Students who are interested in garden design and flower garden cultivation, or who are cheerful and like to communicate with others, may consider choosing these two majors. There is no special requirement for gender in this major.
