"Tax agent" to do BAS's (called BAS service providers)... yes it is possible. A registered tax agent to do individual tax returns requires a degree, from memory. If you go into one of those income tax super centre places, you may find the person you deal with may not have a degree but the...

You can probably get away with just MYOB which is available in a test drive version for student use. If you are afraid of work experience now, what good will it do you to have a qualification up your sleeve if you can't deal with difficult situations - but no, no work experience required. It's a...

For starters, always best to contact the individual institutes directly for clarification as the info on the tafensw site isn't always 100%. Since full time means 12-30hrs/wk... it might refer to block release where you might do 3 days every 3 weeks, so technically "full time" for that...

Try UNE... UNE - Rural Medicine - Rural Medicine

There are some open entry subjects you can do with CSU which may put you ahead of the pack to gain a HECS place. Single Subject Study - Open Entry - Online supported learning at Charles Sturt University CSU and many other (non-G of 8) uni's look favourably on TAFE qual's so if you really...

Community Services is the easiest area to get volunteer work in. Networking is essential... the non-advertised job market is huge. So volunteer where you can to meet people who hire people like you. There are heaps of people with Behavioural Science, Social Science, Psychology (non-registered)...

CSU has a Medical Science/BioTechnology double degree available by distance (i.e. do it on campus but if you get a job you can do the rest flexibly).

Check out Uni of SA's Bachelor of Accounting via Open Uni's - www.open.edu.au - no entry requirements and should get some credit for the TAFE stuff you have passed.

Most uni's do it on a scale of 0-7. A GPA of 5.5. would be an above credit average (credit = 5.0 usually) - completely achievable if you work hard. However, for your postgrad, you'll find that is the minimum that they accept (they don't want undergrads that just scrape through with a pass)...

Open Uni's is another window of opportunity: it will get you a degree from Macq/Curtin/UniSa/Griffith/Murdoch etc that will help you get into the defence force but have no entry requirements but you do have to have the balls to deal with distance ed learning. I would recommend the logistics...

Check out the degree requirements for CPA/CA/NIA. Having an accounting major can still get you an accounting job (heck having an Advanced Diploma from TAFE can still get you in the door), but many employers are super keen on CPA/CA status so you really should check what is required for those...

You cook for yourself. Not entirely hard (ok, that is coming from someone who stuffed up making mashed potatoes). You can (well, you could at Wagga) buy a meal directly from the catered halls on a PAYG basis - not as economically priced compared to fully catered people but still feeds you when...

Uni lecturer = only need a Masters/PhD in the area you teach, no teaching quals needed... unfortunately!... but many uni's are encouraging of it for their staff. TAFE Teacher = Cert IV in Training & Assessment plus diploma or degree in your field plus 3+ years industry experience but there...

You will probably find it is pending the first cohort of students to graduate. Many accreditation things do that so they can be sure the students are being taught everything they need to be.

They've just updated the Applied Science degree... has a bit more flexibility now in subject choices.
