Steps to Studying in Aus
Here are the steps you need to take before receiving an invitation to apply for the visa.

One of our consultants will reply to any questions that you may have and assist in determining your overall study goals whilst in Australia.

4
Enrol to a School
Once a specific education provider has been chosen, your consultant will then help students complete their school application and assist throughout the entire enrolling process.
5
Apply for Student Visa
Once your enrollment has been confirmed, our qualified migration agents will assist in applying for your student visa.
Temporary Graduate Visa
If undertaking study in Australia for a minimum of 2 years you may qualify for the Temporary Skilled Graduate Visa. This visa allows the holder 1.5 years of unlimited work rights in Australia. Many graduates use this time to build up experience in their field or find an employer that is willing to sponsor their visa.
If you have applied for the Temporary Graduate Visa you may also be eligible to apply for the Job Ready Program. The Job Ready Program is run through TRA and allows graduates in certain disciplines to have their skills assessed for skilled migration purposes. It is a way for people with no experience to have their skills assessed. Once the student receives a positive skills assessment they may be eligible to apply for permanent work visas such as State Sponsored and General Skilled Migration Visas.
Note: It is never recommended to engage in studies for the sole purpose of trying to gain a visa to Australia. Speak to us and we can find a course that matches your long-term career goals.
Graduate Visa
The Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) allows recent university graduates and certain vocational graduates the chance to remain in Australia and work after their studies have finished.
