Under old system

[darren-b]

As soon as the inspectors get a whiff, then the aforementioned will be out on their . . . if you get a student visa on false pretenses, it'll be a black mark against you for the rest of your life! Not worth it. To work, you get a work permit. It is a courtesy to students that they are allowed to work 20 hours. They should just say "thank you. I'll take it" instead of being greedy!

The problem is the system is it still doesn't do enough to ensure international students can actually afford to study here, and many agencies don't help by suggesting as a NVQ student you can work full-time and earn a decent income. I am not saying it is the case here but you are then left with students who need to work full-time not because they are greedy but to live and pay back any expenses it cost them to get the visa.

the confusion caused by how many hours you can work should be ended for those on NVQ courses,

as for those on VV's or for people who are claiming asylum work paid or unpaid is WORK, and the 20hrs limited should be applied to those on NVQ's to.
