Hello everybody and welcome to the first
edition of FAST FACTS
Today we're going to talk about the Australian
Study Requirement 
and what that term actually means 
You've heard about it because it's a requirement
for the Graduate 485 Visa
the GSM points 
and even for  some State migration plans
So basically 
you need to study a CRICOS registered course, or courses
that would add up to at least 92 weeks 
and that study
would take you at least 16 calendar months
from the time you began
to the time you finished
Now, your education provider will provide you with a letter 
a completion letter
outlining the time you began to the time you completed
You can combine courses to do one diploma
and maybe another diploma 
as long as both diplomas added up to at least
92 CRICOS registered weeks
and
it took you at least 16 calendar months to do those diplomas
in relation to credits
credits don't matter anymore, it used to in the past 
so if you've completed 
a single 92 week CRICOS registered course
and you have completed it
from start to finish, in 16 calendar months
you may have taken 25%  
credit of that course, from subjects that you did overseas
it doesn't matter, as long as you meet those two basic criteria
and remembe, graduate certificates 
do not count towards the Australian Study Requirment
Remember there's a lot of components when it comes to the Australian Study Requirement
