Good preparation starts with facts you can prove. Before looking at any pathway, collect what you can document: education, work history with dates, and language results.
1. Confirm your facts
Write down each employer, role, dates and duties. Match them to documents such as reference letters and contracts.
2. Organise documents
Keep clear scans, name files consistently and note expiry dates.
3. Read the official source
Every pathway publishes its own requirements. Check the date of the page you are reading.
4. Build one plan
List tasks with your own target dates. Official deadlines always come from the authority.
