This is a Capstone unit that builds on the knowledge created and acquired in previous courses within the Graduate Diploma. Students will apply their knowledge in a variety of ways focusing on practical skills needed by migration agents and migration law practitioners to conduct an effective and successful migration practice. The Capstone subject will equip students with advanced skills needed to work as a registered migration agent in professional practice contexts. Students will also be given an opportunity, if selected by participating employers, to undertake a two-week work placement. This will help advance their employability skills required for real-life work. Please note that the placement does not require OMARA's approval.
