Since this thread had lots of discussion about working abroad. Just wanted to ask of anyone&#39;s experience working in Germany? I understand that there is a language requirement and was wondering if there are any other requirements in order to get an upper hand in obtaining a job in Germany. <br /><br />Also in Malaysia, i understand that there are a few centers that provide tutoring on foreign languages. Even so, will there be other avenues for us learning foreign language to practice on a daily basis? For example people who are learning German and are living in Germany are able to practice it easily due to their surroundings but in Malaysia, do the centers have like forums or study partners for this? Learning a language works better when you start conversing other than theoretical practice. <br /><br />If you have suggestions of language centers that are good Please fee free to respond to the thread. Really appreciate your help&#33;<br /><br />Stay safe&#33;<br /><br /><br /><br /> A+Ve Expatriates Sun, 02 Aug 2020 10:31:28 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4974882 Hi Everyone, <br /><br />I am newbie in the lowyat forum.

I have already registered and they have informed that i will be notified after 5 days if i were successful. Its been more than a week and i assumed i may not be successful. Nevertheless, I would like to invest my time in an IT courses that will at least increase my skills and value. I know IT knowledge has been valuable and only very recently I am able to see how it has infiltrated into all dimensions of businesses and accounting firms to big businesses appreciate candidates who have such knowledge a qualifications. <br /><br />I don&#39;t think I want to pursue an undergrad in IT because it is way too much of an investment. But i truly appreciate if you could provide me with an opinion of the type of courses short courses that would be suitable for a person like me to pursue (i.e. with a purely business degree and no IT background) or any courses on Coursera or any other recommendations for me to pursue a qualification in IT. <br /><br />Thank you so much&#33;<br /><br /> A+Ve Education Essentials Sat, 06 Jun 2020 22:06:21 +0800
