Bridging Program in Australia

[michikoy]

Hi. I am new here. I don't know exactly where to go. I am a registered nurse here in the Philippines and I am interested in studying in Australia for a bridging course that will help me become a registered nurse there. I need some help on looking for a good school that offers a bridging course.

My aunt told me that a friend of her friend just went to AU to take up a test and in 6 months she's there for a bridging program. and I have this friend who has a friend who became a registered nurse in AU in 6 months time too. This agency is offering me to study for a certificate III aged care with occupational English test for 46 weeks in Einstein College but it costs too much. So now, I am trying to look for a school wherein I can apply by myself and hopefully get in. I am hoping I could leave for AU this June 2011. I am a bit lost on what to do. Can you help me, please? Any suggestions? ? Please help me. Thank you very much.

(Sydney area would be better since my parents are more familiar and in favor of that place... though other cities/areas will be great too)

Where is this located bea?

Myrtleford is located three hours north east of Melbourne and 40 minutes from Wangaratta, the nearest regional centre. The trip by train is from Melbourne to Wangaratta and then bus from Wangaratta to Myrtleford.

So I'll be in a mountainous area......excited for it.;-)

Okay.. I suggest you submit your applications right away. In the immigration website, it is stated there that student visa application takes 10-14 days to process. I submitted mine last March1 and I dont have my visa yet until now. I don't know whats causing the delay.
