Skilled Migration Australia

Collect 60 points towards an application for General Skilled Migration

Dear Applicants,

Warm Greetings from myself, Mr Andy Ellen and all staff at Cambridge International College.

For your information, I want to explain why enrolling students for the Diploma of Community Welfare is very, very important for the FEBRUARY 4th 2009 intake.

To be assessed to become a Welfare Worker, the student must complete the 2 year Diploma of Community Welfare Work and then apply to the AIWCW (Australian Institute for Welfare and Community Workers) for membership. AIWCW membership will allow students to apply to become a Welfare Worker (ASCO code 2512-11)  to collect 60 points towards an application for General Skilled Migration (permanent residency), according to Registered Migration Agents.

At present, until January 31st 2011, students who complete the Diploma and apply for AIWCW Membership will NOT require an IELTS score.

THIS MEANS that students who graduate up until end November 2010 will NOT need IELTS to apply for an assessment from AIWCW.

Therefore, FEBRUARY 2009 will be the FINAL intake when students can study and graduate without needing a high IELTS score

However, the April 2009 intake will graduate in April 2011 and these students will require IELTS 6.5 or possibly IELTS 7.0 to be assessed for AIWCW membership and therefore to become a Welfare Worker. See www.aiwcw.org.au for these changes

'To allow adequate notice to those enrolled or planning to enrol in relevant courses, AIWCW now proposes a revised starting date of 1st February 2011, with the IELTS Level yet to be determined. AIWCW will not seek a level in excess of 7.0, but will strongly urge that the level exceed 6.0.'

In my opinion, Welfare Work is the most rewarding occupation of all the Occupations which the Australian Government is trying to find skilled migrants for. The profession is for those who like to HELP other people and I know that your country's people have this great quality in them.

It is also the best subject for LEARNING and IMPROVING English Language skills. Students will improve their confidence for life!!

We have only 35 places left for February 4th 2009 intake and 5 places for April 20th 2009 - so please be quick.

Please contact us ASAP.
