The trade industry is one of the highest growth industries in Australia. Skilled trade workers are in high demand as employers continuously find it difficult to find qualified trades people. Here are some of the reasons why it’s a great idea to study a trade course:
1. Fees are cheaper compared to university qualifications
2. Course durations are usually shorter than university courses
3. Courses involve practical hands on training
4. Eligibility for a graduate visa pathway including post study work rights
5. Permanent residency pathway
6. Employer Sponsorship opportunities
7. High salary
8. Independent business startup opportunities

How to apply for a Student Visa

Whilst holding a student visa you may be eligible to apply for another student visa or other type of visa before your substantive student visa expires.

In order to meet the criteria to be granted a student visa you must select a course from a registered education provider, and the course must be full time. Your country of passport and the type of course you wish to study as well as various other factors will be assessed by the Department of Immigration. Talk to one of our certified Australian Education Specialists to arrange a full assessment.
