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)

Guys, my approval letter from ahpra will expire this July. I haven't got 7.0 in all sub-tests in ielts. Is it ok to enroll for bridging program even if the letter will expire soon? I read the letter and it says " you have to COMPLETE the bridging course within 12mos from date of issue". Need your help guys.. I don't know if I will take the ielts exam again because I'm not sure if I can still take the bridging course if ever I will be able to pass the exam. Thank you..

from sept 2010-sept2011 AHPRA lifted the ielts requirement. i also was able to have my eligibility without an ielts.but then i just took it just in case i will be needing it,true enough, the schools are requiring ielts for the BP. so still ielts is a must..

AHPRA requires those applicants that did get through on no IELTS to have IELTS requirement after bridging course (even if you found a school that would accept your application) to become a Registered nurse.

You can lodge your application in any AHPRA branch, you can have your bridging program in any state or school that offers bp, and u can get a job anywhere in Australia afterwards.
