Hey Chioma, am your new subscriber from Kenya. Am a social worker n I must say your content is so inspiring. God bless you for every effort you put as you enlighten us.
This is really insightful! Because often times we only hear what a university or college is like from a domestic student & non mature aged student's perspective! It also inspires me to look more into my current course and see what resources and tools are available to us-so thank you Chioma:)
Very insightful Chioma, I am in my 40s and looking to study master before I turn 50. I am thinking about studying Master in Counselling & Psychotherapy with ACAP. Big thank you !!
Wow!!! You’re touching the points I have been worried about for months now. Planning to relocate with my family to Australia with no real information about the country and course to do. Again thanks for the video, God bless
Thank you so much ma. I am a new subscriber. Thank you so much for setting up this RUclips channel up. To think I didn't know one thing about studying in Australia just a week ago Compared to what I know now is worth thanking you for. Your page has been very resourceful. I am on a binge watching spree and I will drop comments going forward. 😍😍😍❤️
Thanks for this video. Pls Chioma; - What is the duration of ACAP in Social work? How long is the program? - Is it possible to advance from ACAP Social Work to Masters degree in Social work? - Will you be allowed to work in Australia while studying ACAP program? - Did you get a study visa for ACAP? How does your student visa status get affected if you decide to apply and progress from ACAP studies to a Masters degree in Social Work at an Australian university?
Thanks a lot, Chioma for sharing your experience, it is very resourceful and helpful. I am still looking at school options, one of them is ACAP as they are the ones opening mid-year. Does ACAP organize the placement for their students?
ACAP has a good reputation in my opinion, but I may be biased. A lot of my classmates are doing quite well and have found their place in different fields of practice.
Hello Chioma! I'd wanted to ask you if students get paid during fieldwork? And how many hours do you usually have to work in a day? Also, thank you for making such informative videos! Your content is always so crystal clear and engaging, it never fails to clear my doubts! Hope you stay blessed and thank you so much! 💕💕💕
Chioma Appreciate your info. Im in a dilemma. I have bachelors in hospitality and currently reading my masters in global hotel operations. Always wanted to pursue social work as i like humanities. I have the opportunity to chanhe my course to acap masters of social work. Having no background in social work and completing this course kinda bothers me little bit. Will it affect to find a job in social work area?
I am an ACAP student. I think ACAP has gown down hill. I am transferring into a 'normal' university. I find the lecturers to really unhelpful and the workshops are tortuous. The workshop go for two days and include a Saturday and they are the worst experience ever. They literally steal a two days of your life.
Hello ma'am, thank you for keeping us informed at all times. Please I would like to know if there is funding for Masters of social work? For international student.
Hey Chioma, I am from Sydney, seeking to study social work I am uncertain whether i want to attend western Sydney university or ACAP. I am here wondering whether you personally found the degree difficult, in regard to studying, and was there exams or just assessments and how much support do you find educators gave to you when needed? I have already my community services cert IV and diploma of community services case management, so I have the certifications to progress my education.
It was assignment based with take home exams and a research (thesis) unit with a chunky credit load at the end. I found some of my educators to be supportive, but the system generally was not without its flaws. Generally, I believe even people who study together in the same environment can come out with very different experiences. Good luck
Hi Chioma, I would like to know if you had a degree already in something related to Social Work or you just applied from a totally different qualification. And secondly, how successful is it to come as a Masters student than change to a degree? Thanks
Hi Jessica, I had a Bachelor Degree in Communication, not related to social work. If by the second part of your question, you mean starting with a Masters and downgrading to a Bachelor degree, I'm not sure how that will work, however, I would be careful as it could potentially affect your visa. Again, this is not expert migration advice, just my opinion.
Hi Chioma, thanks for all the useful tips!! Pls kindly social work at ACAP still have a valid accreditation. I checked with Teqsa and noticed it expired February last year. Pls since you are there kindly confirm pls🙏🙏
Yes, the best way to find out about course accreditation is through the Assessing Authority of a profession, in this case, the AASW www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/accredited-courses
Thank you for your video which is really informative and is there any chance to get Scholarship for international students on Graduation in human science and Master qualifying of Social work, please help me . I have completed PTE with Overall 57 score and my bachelor is in Humanities and social sciences of 3 years with over all 64% . Is there any chance of getting scholarship in Acap , plz ma'am let me know. It would be very helpful if you provide me this information ☺️...?
PR prospects depend on whether you study toward an occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list for PR. Career prospects also depend on the industry. Generally speaking, career prospects are strong, but obviously you should be guided by the potential in each industry.
Hi Chioma I’m your new subscriber from india. I have taken admission in master of social work in ACAP now. Whats the scope now and the pr pathway. I’m from a different background so i have to do the bridging course first and then masters. What’s the way for me
Hey, I’m from india too i want to do the same course as well. I have few questions related to fees? That how much you paid for COE and when you will pay your next instalment. I am planning to take feb intake as well but I’m not sure about fees.
@@harpreetsandhu2135 hi harpeet As I’m not from this background because i was a science student so i have to do the bridging course first. Fees depends on uni to uni. I have to pay $7500 for coe for the bridging course and $60000 approx for masters. But it depends on uni
@@lifewithchioma thank you ma.. i emailed the institution and they said it is unlikely i gain admission because my undergraduate degree was in law (Llb)

What would be your opinion of the reputation and do you have any friends who graduated from a ACAP and done well in their careers after leaving ?

Hey Yangzom, thanks for stopping by. Placement is unpaid and full time hours range from 35 - 40 hours a week, works out to 7-8 hours per day.
Thanks, Chioma. I love your videos. It's very educative. I am almost 42yrs. Can I study in Tafe or BSC?
I am from Adelaide and am considering this college as an option if I do not have offers from Flinders University.

Workshops on the weekends certainly don't sound great. Goodluck with your transfer.
Hi,
Just reading your comment, was that the only problem I am trying to compare between ACAP and WSU?
Hello, are you still.in ACAP? If not can you share which school did you transfer
@haysalk1 hi, just checking with you if you have made your choice for your MSW school. I am in the same position now ans i am looking at schools too
🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥰
What was the maximum and minimum age gap between ur mates?
And also How many were you ?
I knew that some of my classmates were well into their 50's. Average minimum age was around 20 years.
@@lifewithchioma omg!!!!
I'm applying for same course, same uni n I'm just 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@milan268 Good! I only suggested the average minimum age. I'm sure there were students your age too.
Hello ma'am, thank you for keeping us informed at all times. Please I would like to know if there is funding for Masters of social work? For international student.
Scholarship options are limited in Australia unfortunately. I don't know of any social work scholarships.
ACAP courses in Melboburne are not accredited by the the AASW, beware.
Please what's your source of info
is that true??
They are provisionally accredited as they have only started these courses in 2021 and the first graduates will be out in 2025.
Hello so it’s not accredited in Melbourne
how about in Sydney, Perth and Adelaide?
Hi Chioma! What do you think between TAFE (social work) and ACAP? Which one is better?
Hi, I think as long as the course (and school) is accredited by the AASW, it doesn't matter which one.
Hi. Is IELTS a compulsory requirement to study at ACAP? Or is Nigeria among the countries not needing an English exam. Thanks in advance

So what you did
Choose ACAP or western Sydney uni

Mam after study social work in Australia. We need any license?
No license, except if you want to be Mental Health Accredited, in which case you need further training and supervision.
Is Social Work only for women or men can also apply for it? I never saw any man making a video on social work
I have a good number of male colleagues at work

ACAP's social work course is offered in city campuses.
Is it 47k dollars per year or for the two years??
For the 2 years
@@lifewithchioma thank you ma.. i emailed the institution and they said it is unlikely i gain admission because my undergraduate degree was in law (Llb)
