PERTH

Sandra Ika - Indonesia

Ever since she was young, Sandra has always been getting along well with children younger than her and grew a natural instinct to understand kids. This led her to pursue an education in Early Childhood Education and Care in Perth, Australia. The tuition fee is quite reasonable, and she gets to experience studying in other country as well.

This is what she paid to enrol into the course and apply for student visa :

  • Application fee : $230
  • Material fee : $ 400/ qualification
  • Course fee : $1,950/ 3 months
  • Visa fee : $550 + $8 credit card surcharge
  • OSHC : $500+ per year (Medical Insurance - Compulsory)

 

To finance her weekly expenses, Sandra works part-time at the same time, which is capped to 40 hours per fortnight. The earned salary is used to support her living and cover her tuition fee payment as well.

Rent: $160/ week
Food: $120/ week
Miscellaneous: $50

The total course duration for Sandra to obtain the Diploma is 2 years, and afterwards she can opt to transfer the credits to the higher education.
