[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 146890, member: 2672"] 1) it does depend on the course the firm in putting you on. Not all courses are academic courses (eg an equivalent or a Level 6 or 7 qualification) and may not be eligible for a student visa. In those situations, the post study visa could be used though. For the training contract, most firms will put you on a Skilled Pierson Visa (Tier 2 technically doesn’t exist anymore and was replaced by this) as a post study visa typically is not long enough where there is usually a gap between the post study visa starting and the training contracting starting, meaning two years isn’t sufficient. 2) yes - this will be sufficient as you can work in any job under this visa (or not work at all). 3) not necessarily - this visa will align with when your training contract starts, which for most firms will be in 2-3 years time of their recruitment round. They may have earlier vacancies, but this is rare. They also have fixed start dates, either once or twice a year and so even if they could offer you a training contract to start within 12 months, it’s likely to be late sunmer/early Autumn and late Winter/early Spring that they start.
