To meet the two (2) year study requirement you must have completed
a course/s:
resulting in the award of a degree/s, diploma/s or trade
qualification/s
undertaken at an Australian educational institution in Australia
registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for
Overseas Students (CRICOS)
completed at the Australian educational institution where the course
was commenced
I pulled this from the DIMA website. It seems like you'll need to have
graduated from the institution. I guess as long as you do, it basically
fits the bill.
Have you asked an agent, or gone for any free trial consultation yet?
