please i will like to confirm the mode of payment of tuition fee,if i can pay installment and also if i will have working permit while i am under training?
Hey Kunle,
Different schools require different payment plans; quite often you can pay per semester, some schools even allow students to pay per month.
On a student visa you are allowed to work 40 hours a fortnight, so that’s a part time job.
