hi, i want to know how to calculate points for cooks. To be honest, cooks usually don't get that 15 or 16 years of education but still they are very good cooks and they work tremendously. How come that they could fulfill the requirement of that many years of high education when they never did that. However about English, I have 7 bands. S, 7, Listening 7.5, Reading 6.5,and writing 6. I have that intermediate degree with 12 years of education and an experience of 5 years as a cook . How to calculate points and would anyone respond.
