I'm an international student (who's planning to pursue a PR after graduation) currently on my last year of an unrelated uni degree, but for a year now I've been considering a career in first response. My initial goal was a triple zero ambulance call taker, but as it requires Permanent Residency, I started looking into a diploma pathway to get a PR through employment sponsorship or skill demand visa, and landed on NEPT.

My questions are:

1. Is it better to pursue HLT31120 or HLT41120? Or are these two diplomas just as bogus as they are when it comes to being a paramedic?
2. Is there a demand for NEPT's in Sydney? Or will it be difficult to get a job?
3. Will it be more difficult to get a job considering I'm also trying to get PR as I do this? Are NEPT's in demand here, especially in Sydney?

I know my situation is a bit odd. I don't even know if this is realistic. While I love studying for my degree, I'm realizing I've always gravitated towards more hands-on jobs related to first aid. I'm also aware NEPT's aren't paramedics, but I figured it's worth a shot asking here.

Thanks everyone!
