Hi just to inform you that the reason I am helping my friend is that his english is very poor. Sure if he pursues this route, he will have to get courses in the language first.
However one piece of information from the web site you referred me is of concern. Even if he finds a course that is of interest to him and is not very dear to him he may not be able to gain any bonus points for education in New Zealand. The reason is that it says that the qualification should either have been attained or been enrolled into before July 25th, 2011. This means that even if he enrols now, he won't be able to claim points for it in the future. So it would be better to get the qualification at his own country which would be far cheaper than try to get it in New Zealand. Unless of course this rule has been coming into existence every year. What do you think? Any feedback?
