Bro, this is a fantastic gesture and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it is appreciated. How long is this offer valid, cos some of the schools I'm applying for just opened their issions. So will this offer still be valid till next month/late this month?

Let me say I will help throughout this coming winter semester 21/22 application.

Goodluck.

Good day all,
Its been a while here and I just thought to come say hello to everyone still on this hustle.

Its really worth it, although I see there are now a lot of hickups. I can only pray God softens it for everyone.

I want to offer help in the small way that I can.
Incase you want to send documents to Uniassist or any other schools and you need someone in to help you disperse it so that you only pay for DHL/UPS once from Nigeria to , i can help you.
What I mean is, assuming you want to send to Uniassist and another school, you can package all your documents into one folder and send to me. I will separate them here, send to the different schools for you from here in for FREE.
Please note that this is just a limited time offer. you can mail me on [email protected]

Also, for those who want to pay for their Uniassist applications, I can help with that, of course you pay me in Naira and I pay for you in Euro based on agreement.

Cheers!

I have said this and I will say it again.

If you have the option of doing the semester ONLINE, take it! 1 or 2 courses and do the exams.

This might be your only ticket to getting AD when the embassy resumes fully. Showing the embassy you are an enrolled student gives you a higher edge than people who will just be presenting only ission letters.
The worse case scenario will be the enrollment money you might lose if you eventually do not get AD.

Also, the school can give you another ission if you complete a semester and were still not able to come due to reasons that were not caused by you.
Online semester is NOT easy, but its doable. I did last semester all from Nigeria before coming back here to continue my 3rd semester which is also fully online.

Good luck

The is one of the reasons the Embassy is delaying in giving people dates.
1- The cases are rising again in and new measures are to be put in place. They have to be strict with Visa issuance now.
2- From the the Nigerian perspective, the airports are currently closed so it would even be heard for the embassy to justify with the alien offices when each applicant can travel down.

My Advice, if its possible for you to enroll online, go ahead and do it. Take very few courses, maybe 2 or 3. Ensure you participate and have yourself ed as a participating student. Do assignments and do exams. Its hard, but doable.
I am sure, these set of people will be given preference when the world eventually returns to normal.

The world as we know it as changed, we just have to adapt to it now.

Good luck guys.

Hi,

1 - You can always for health insurance online.

2- You have two options.
a - If you are below 30 years of age, you are to use the public health insurance. I think it from around 80 Euros upwards monthly. you can google AOK or ask people who use public to share ideas with you. The public health insurance is more expensive but also better than the private since you can walk into any hospital for treatment.
b- If you are 30 years and above, you have to use the private insurance. I am using Care concept. Many others are using Mawista. They also have bundle plans starting from around 36 euros monthly based on the service you pick. Many people pick the one around 35 euros upwards.
If you do the private insurance, after ing online, you will get your health insurance enrollment certificate. You will then forward this to the public health insurance to issue you an exemption letter. This letter will state that you have a private insurance and do not need a public insurance. It is this document alongside your private insurance certificate you will then use to do your enrollment.

3- YES! You pay your insurance EVERY month!

Cheers!

Please house, is any one in TH Koln here please.

Very fine bro. Going through it gradually. The city is superb as well.

Thanks for asking.

agugu:


Longest time.... How is studies and the city?

Hello guys,

If there is anyone here who got ission to TH Koln (especially Automation and IT) and would like to ask some questions, I would be glad to help answer questions I might have answers to.

You can mail me on [email protected]

Cheers!

SOLARPOWER1:


Is it close to TH Koln...I am coming to Cologne

Hi bro, What course are you coming for in TH Koln?

I am presently in an Hochschule (University of Applied Sciences) and to be fair, yes you can have presentations, reports, practical subjects as continuous assessments.
The main thing is just to be fully prepared you are coming to study here. Nothing is easy and its very demanding. Thats the reason I posted earlier that you should have ion for whatever course you are coming for, before depression sets in.

I came in October and after 3 weeks of classes, i had an exam.
10 A4 papers filled with questions and expecting answers. (Nothing like answer only 3). The maximum time for exam is 90 minutes, so you can imagine.

In University of Applied Sciences, you have practical subjects - meaning not fully theoretical, but does not mean you will not do any theory, you have to prove a lot of formulas, nothing like objective questions. Many of the Professors will call it a TEST, but na die!

My advice is try and get in touch with anybody presently doing the course you are coming for and study like your life depends on it. Because your life really depends on it when you get here. Except you want to fail and re-do courses.

Above all, we are Nigerians, we no dull! So, I am sure any challenge anyone faces will be sured.

Good luck to everyone.

Cheers!

Sakasitay:


From my experience, if you want universities where they give Continuous assessments, and the exams are not a deciding factor, then you can consider the Hochschule (Universities of Applied Sciences). As the name suggests, the work is more practical and the Maths we’ve been lamenting on here is more applied to real world problems (but you still need to put in a great effort in it)

Just ing by to say hello to everyone here. Do not give up you dreams, this journey is worth it. Just do your best.

Also, I see there are various concerns with respect to Brexit, anyways, nothing is known yet and believe me, Education is one of the strengths of . They practically invest a lot in it and also the private companies do too. Opportunities are boundless here, I can only give you some encouragements and stop looking at the negatives.

Yes, things will change yearly, just like blocked amount was changed last year, your tenacity will see you through.

Also, ensure you are really interested in the course you are applying for. It is not easy here and the only thing that would see you through is your desire for the course, if not, you could perform badly.

Wishing everyone goodluck!

Cheers!

Hello @CoracleNG, Thank you for looking into my complaints some weeks ago.
I can now say everything is settled now and all corrections have been made.

Thank you for your mail. I am glad you have looked into the matter.

I sent series of mails before the payout was initiated. But there was no reply until after the payout was done.

If only, there is a very effective response, then things would go smoothly.

Also, as you can see I have sent two mails again today, but no response and its from you here (on Nairaland) that I am getting the feeling the someone is reading the mails.

Can you just inform them to reply my mails OR pick my calls OR call me back?

Is it really professional to just be ignoring my mails and NOT pick my calls? For whatever the reason for the delay, it is necessary to inform your customers and also keep in touch. Do they expect me to just be mute when I do not know what is going on?

I was told I would get this money before 20th December, this is 3 weeks after. Do you not see something wrong in this and they do NOT even bother to reply mails and calls?

I am patient already and its almost a month. I am only asking for a solution and NOT something else.

Its really alarming.

CoracleNG:


Firstly, we appreciate you for the and thank you for using our services. However, the details are not entirely correct as can be seen via the bolded.

I can see you've sent another email today. I would en you to be patient as it would all be resolved soon.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Geduld.

Thank you for the headsup.
I actually do not intend with dealing with him or anyone. I just wanted to quote him/her and let people know what Coracle really is.

justwise:


Deal with him at your own peril, deal with Coracle directly and not this ID.

Thank you very much for your response.

With all due respect, I would like to state that your organization in is NOT professional and NOT competent.

If I have any close person wanting to open a blocked I will advise NOT to use Coracle.

I am still having a very bad experience using your company and its not changed since October. Please note, even if this is my own experience, many other people whom I have related with over here in also have one issue or the other. Not to say that everyone using your company has issues, but many do and it all bores down to the fact that your company does not have organization not standard.

Once again, I will put this here so that anybody planning to open a blocked can read what really is going on.

I arrived in October to and informed Coracle i wanted to increase my blocked to 10,236 since I came in with 8840. I returned the first payout they sent to me the same day and sent the balance to make it 10,236. A few days later, I got the confirmation mail of 10,236 on 4th November.

After series of back and forth mails, shouting and crying I got my first payout 20th November. I was lucky to have paid for my accommodation and insurance of October and November before I left Nigeria, if not, I would have been stranded and really frustrated. They kept lying that they had initiated the transfer and that they have issues with their bank. I could not buy winter jackets and shoes because I had no money.
The pay out was NOT complete, they had only paid me 720 X 2 = 1440 instead of 853 X 2 = 1706. After series of mails, they said they would effect it during December payout.

Since they do not have a platform where you can check how much is remaining in your blocked (Unlike other ones) I wrote to them to send me a statement of my with them for me to be sure we are both on the same page, low and behold, they sent me a wrong value. I was shocked, but thankfully, I also have a local excel sheet where I keep all transactions. I made a screenshot of this and sent to them, then they argued again. I mailed them again, they checked and corrected the value. That was when it dawned on me that they are not organized.

A few days later, I got notification from my school that my stipend had been paid two weeks earlier into my blocked mistakenly. I was shocked why Coracle did not inform me of any deposit since 2 weeks back. I mailed them and they confirmed they got the money.
But, why did you not inform me? No reply.
Ok, how do I get this money since it is not a blocked money? No reply.
It took me another 2 weeks of mails and calls, before they agreed to send it.
Since early December, up till this moment of typing this, I have not received the money. Once again, they said they initiated it and their bank has issues.
My December and January payouts are still 720 and not the 853 which they said they would correct, it has still NOT been corrected.

The annoying thing is that, they hang up calls whenever you call them. You can send 20 mails before you get a response to 1. Their customer care is very wack and the whole organization is nothing to behold.

I am still on this case and trying to get my money, so if you read this story, please, take time to think before you decide which way to go.
Some of my classmates are using them without any hassles, while some are also having issues.
There are no organizations without issues, but are they ready to solve the issue? With Coracle, its hard.

Sometimes, I have to beg my classmate who is a German to speak with them maybe they would respect a local citizen.

So, here is my story and I hope you it ends well. But, I would not want anyone to also go through what I have gone through.

@CoracleNG, you can ask "Jules" in your German office since he is the only person that sometimes picks my calls or replies my mails.

Tell your organization to fix up because your name is not being sung well.

Cheers!

CoracleNG:


The handler of this represents Coracle GmbH.

Oh! Now there is a CoracleNG?
Are you really representing Coracle here or this is just a name you decide to choose?
I would like to know so i can continue with my comment.
Really waiting for your response.

Cheers!

CoracleNG:


This is false.

For Coracle:

If an applicant's visa is granted and he arrives , s/he simply needs to their IBAN details together with the city registration (Anmeldung) to their portal. In cases where the person hasn't ed with the city authority, they can send the page of their port with the immigration stamp at the point of arrival.

If the visa application is unsuccessful, they just need to send the decision letter from the Consulate to the Coracle official email and the refund process would be initiated. Depending on the method of funding, extra information might be demanded from the applicant.

Regards

Good evening all.

Wishing everyone a successful planning and Visa grants to everyone expecting.

I would just like to advise anyone considering to use CORACLE for blocked to think about it twice.

My experience with them has not been good and it would not be nice to just keep shut about it and let others run into it blindly.

When I arrived mid October, I did all verification and was expecting my first pay out. Before the pay out came, I got notification from the local office that i needed to increase my blocked to 10,000 Euros since I came in ith 8840 Euros.
So, I borrowed some money, wrote to CORACLE to put my payout on hold that I want to increase the amount. I did not get a reply from them for 4 days and i got my payout.
After the payout, they then replied that I could increase the blocked amount, so i sent bacj the payout and the borrowed fund to complete the 10,000 Euros now amount.

Then it took a lot of mails for 2 weeks before I could get my payout, BUT instead of them to now pay me 850 Euros monthly, they still sent 700 X 2 = 1400 Euros for October and November.
I made a complaint and they said they have bank issues and they will sort it out.
Since October till now, I have sent a lot of mails and no result.
The only saving grace was I already paid my for my October and November accommodation and health insurance before leaving Nigeria. I imagined If I was to fully depend on this payout, it would have been a disaster.
There are still other funds I am still trying to get out from them apart my blocked and its still one story or the other.

I had this discussion with some of my classmates and almost everyone has one issue or the other. A lady had to even call them many times and got her payout after 2 months. A Ghanaian said it took him 3 months to get his own payout from them.
I think they are not stable in this business yet, So I would advise that you avoid them if you can.
PLEASE NOTE: This is MY OWN experience and does not translate to the overall experience of everyone using Coracle.

Cheers to everyone.

Success!

Good day all,
Just sayin HIi

Just here to wish everyone good luck in this German dream.

Its all worth it.

May God grant all you all your heart desires!

Cheers!

Hey Guys,
That was quick.
I just received my AM

Congratulations!

chuksinfotech:
Guys Please I need your urgent help.

My School is Saarland University and our enrolment is online (Proxy) which I have done.

My ission letter came in last month and I booked on the 10th of August, the same week with someone I know. But he has been invited and interviewed and I am yet to get a date and our resumption is October 14th. The enrolment deadline is September 30th.

What should I do?

Secondly, my school is insisting on me using Public insurance and I am under 30, I initially used Mawista for my enrolment now they are demanding a public Insurance company of I Get an exemption, the is was they said (Usually applicants with private health insurance go to a German health insurance (Deutsche, Gesetzliche Krankenkasse) such as AOK, TK, Barmer... and receive there a so-called Befreiungsbescheinigung)



My questions are:

1. Which public insurance company can I use that would give me the needed documents within 24hrs?

2. Would they allow me to get the exemption when I get to ?

Hello sir, since you have done your enrollment, GOOD!
1- write to your school telling them of the visa issues, asking for extension for resumption. If they can give you somewhere in Novermber, use this new date to book a new interview date while you cancel the one you have presently. SO that you can get a date.

2- As long as you are under 30 years old, you need to with a public health insurance. Google AOK (state of where your school is) and write to them. I do not know if they can allow you online and get your certificate online or ask your friend who is also in the school how you can go about that.
Private health insurance is only for people above 30 years old.

Cheers!

good Afternoon Great people, please i want to defer my ission to summer because of personal reasons but the problem is that i have already gotten my AM. i want to know how possible it is to defer my AM and the steps to take. you hekp will be highly appreciated as i don't want to attend another visa interview. i don't want to see Paulinus' face again

Am cannot be deferred.
Better you submit your port (Indicate a far travel date like November so that your 6 months visa can still get to April 2020) and get your visa and pray that the visa still allows you to travel by the time you want to go.
Write to your school and check if they can defer to summer for you, then you can still travel with the same visa.

IF NOT

You still have to face Paulinus.

Cheers!
