What is Accreditation?

Ever heard of the term ‘Accreditation’ and have no idea what it means or it’s importance towards your qualification?

Accreditation is a formal form of verification that a program or institution meets an established standard of practice and is deemed competent to carry out assessment. In the world of education, accreditation is used to determine the validity of qualifications offered by either local or private universities in producing quality graduates. Accredited degrees offer students, parents and employers globally a form of assurance that their employees have met a set level of competency. Accredited courses from qualified organizations ensure graduates meet industry standards.

Which Accreditation is the Best for Engineering?

How to Become a Journalist in Malaysia

News / By Raveena Rakni / Asia Pacific University, iactcollege, Study in Malaysia, Study Journalism, Study journalism in Malaysia, Taylor's University, UOW KDU

Sharing is caring :)

What is Journalism?

Journalism is known as the art of delivering real-time news and events to society by gathering, assessing, creating and presenting news and information.

As a Journalist, your key responsibilities would include investigating news and events, gathering information, writing up new pieces and delivering them to the public in an honest manner through various mediums such as newspaper, radio, magazine, websites or even social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter).

Journalists are said to have very important roles in society as they hold the power of the information being received by the public. They also have a big influence with the news they put out, as it provides society with information on various topics that they use to make decisions about different aspects of their daily life, their communities, their society and the government. Journalism significantly varies from other forms of communications as it focuses on not just the hard facts, but also the truth behind those hard facts. Without journalism, the world would be full of ignorance.

Types of Journalism

Type of Journalism	Specialization
Investigative Journalism	Analyzes information & carry out in-depth research to expose evidence of a specific subject to support their conclusions and deliver findings of figures
Broadcast Journalism	Reports information through multiple mediums such as radio & television on topics such as sports, weather, traffic, news and entertainment.
Entertainment Journalism	Focuses on current cultural and social events. They report on celebrities, movies, red carpet events, and televisions.
Political Journalism	Focuses on government, politics and political candidates. They write about political activities of elected officials, political processes and the results of political work in providing information for voters to formulate their own opinion.
Sports Journalism	Focuses on the subject of athletes and athletic news, in a variety of media such as radio, television and print. They write about amateur and/or professional sports such as reporting live games, interviewing coaches and players and offering game commentary.

A journalist acts as the eyes and ears to deliver important information to the public. But, everything you write needs to be based on facts. It is your job to not let your own emotions or judgement affect the news you deliver. Everyone has their own ideas of what’s right and what’s wrong – but your job is the illustrate the entire picture. You have to report your news from a neutral stance, being objective and stating the facts accurately.

Good writing skills

Steps to Become a Practicing Lawyer in Australia

To become a Lawyer in Australia you will need to go through multiple steps:

1. Complete a Bachelor of Law (LLB) or Juris Doctor (JD)

To become a practicing lawyer, you would need to undertake either a Bachelor of Law (LLB) or Juris Doctor (JD). LLB is suitable for students who do not already possess a degree whilst a JD is suitable for students who already have a degree in another discipline. Typically, both of these courses take 4-5 years to complete.

2. Complete a Practical Legal Training (PLT)

Law graduates who wish to become certified lawyers need to undergo Practical Legal Training otherwise known as the ‘Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice’ assessed by the Legal Admissions Board varying by each state or territory in Australia. This qualification focuses on practical skills needed to become a lawyer and can be attained within a minimum of 6 months. Another alternative option would be through the Legal Practice Experience which is an 80 day supervised legal practice with an experienced lawyer.

3. Admission to Legal Practice

Application to the Law Admissions Authority at the state or territories of choice to practice is then applied by law graduates within 5 years of graduation.

4. Apply for Practicing Certificate from the local Law Society

Final step of transition to becoming a practicing lawyer is to complete an 18 to 24 months of supervised practice before the application to the Law Society of the state for Practising Certificate.

NOTE: Australia operates a system of Solicitors and Barristers. Once you have become a practising lawyer, you are able to decide if you want to remain as a Solicitor or move onto becoming a Barrister.

What is the difference between a Solicitor and Barristers?

Solicitor

A solicitor is a qualified legal practitioner that works out of court. Main responsibilities of solicitors include working directly with clients in providing legal advice, writing documents and contracts, negotiating with clients, conducting research and gathering evidence. Solicitors only represent their clients in court if necessary.

Barrister

A barrister generally focuses on litigation, which is the process of taking legal action. Main responsibility of the barrister is conducting court appearances to represent their clients. This includes presenting the case and representing and translating their client’s view into legal arguments.

It is important to note that in Australia, each state and territory acquires its own legal Bar authority where in order to become a Barrister, you need to gain entrance to the Bar Readers’ Course by taking the Bar exam and pass the course. It is important for you to understand that the pathway of becoming a lawyer upon graduation varies based on state or territories chosen.

Have you always had a fascination for the shape and designs of buildings you see? Do you like the idea of working on new designs and creating beautiful spaces? Do you have a creative but also analytical mind?

If yes, architecture is definitely a career pathway for you to consider.

Architecture is known to be the art of designing and constructing to fulfill both practical and expressive desires. An architect’s main role and responsibility include: planning and creating designs for new construction projects, alterations and redevelopments. They are well knowledgeable on both art and science of building design as they are not only incharge of the external aesthetic but also the internal functionality and safety of their buildings’ occupants.

Different Specialization of Architecture

Landscape Architecture

Landscape Architecture focuses on outdoor spaces such as neighbourhood, parks, gardens and public spaces. Landscape architects engage in core ecological, cultural and social issues faced in the society when designing spaces to ensure efficiency and engagement with the environment. They are also in charge of deciding locations for buildings, walkways and parks in building a community. Examples of responsibilities of landscape architects: deciding types of trees in areas and types of material used for walls and walkways.

Interior Architecture

Interior Architecture is known as a combination between two fields of study: interior designing and architecture. It focuses on the interior of a space and its human functionality. Interior architects are usually involved in the building or rebuilding of interior environments, taking building structure and building codes into account to create a safe and habitable living space. Examples of responsibilities of interior architects: ensuring proper plumbing, electrical system as well as including sustainable designs.

Urban Planning

Urban Planning focuses on the study of how cities grow, change and the policies that guide towards a better quality of life through a resilient and healthy future. Urban Planning learns about the historical evolution of cities and of the discipline in a global perspective; the responsibilities of the profession, and how cities are planned and governed. Examples of responsibilities of urban planners: plan making, policy analysis, and technical writing in both urban and regional contexts.

Skills Needed to Study Architecture

III. Station Chef

Station Chefs have a huge responsibility as they are in charge of an entire area in the kitchen. They work directly under the Sous Chef and are responsible for all the chefs working in their area.

How to Gain Permanent Residency as a Chef in Australia?

Upon completion of the programme and graduation, students from culinary courses have a pathway for Permanent Residency (PR status). Here are 5 steps you’d need to take as a graduate chef to gain PR in Australia:

STEP 1

Firstly, you’d need to apply for the Provisional Skills Assessment (PSA) through Trade Recognition Australia. For this, you would have to have completed AT LEAST a Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery/Patisserie/Asian Cookery from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) registered with the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). You would also need a valid student visa, along with proof of 360 hours of work experience and/or vocational placement related to the nominated occupation of a Chef.

Successful PSA results are needed for the next step, 485 (Graduate Stream) visa application.

STEP 2

Application of the 485 (Graduate Stream) requires i) completion of AT LEAST *2 years of study in a field that is highly related to occupation of a Chef, ii) satisfaction of the required English Language capability, iii) successful PSA results

*Many students take up Certificate III & IV in Commercial Cookery with an additional Diploma of Hospitality to satisfy the 485 visa requirements.

STEP 3

Next, you need to apply for a Job Ready Employment (JRE). To be eligible, you should have a i) successful PSA outcome, ii) secured a paid employment as a Chef, in where you have to perform the tasks listed as a Chef as listed on ‘Australia Business Statistics’ and acquire/in the process of acquiring a 485 visa. To be successful in this step, you would need to have completed AT LEAST 1,725 hours of paid experience as a Chef in the previous year along with submissions of monthly and quarterly journals to show the work you’ve been performing in your role with evidences (bank statements and pay slips)

STEP 4

After completing about 863 hours of paid work experience within 6 months, you will be eligible to undertake the ‘Job Ready Workplace Assessment’ – then a Liaison Officer will be assigned to you in where a scheduled visit will be done to your workplace to assess all the tasks that you perform based on the monthly journals. If you are successful, your outcome letter will show that you are Job Ready, if not, it will show as Not Yet Job Ready. If failed, you are given another chance to retake the assessment.

STEP 5

Final step of the process is to apply for a ‘Job Ready Final Assessment (JRFA)’. To be eligible, you should have a successful PSA and JRWA outcome, along with providing your Liaison Officer with journals and paid employment evidence covering at least 12 months (at least 1,725 work hours). Once all of these steps are completed, you can use your JRFA for your Permanent Residency visa application.

NOTE: It is important for you to also understand that this is just one of the requirements needed to apply for a PR Visa, where all the application criteria need to be satisfied to get a visa grant.
