Bridging Program in Australia

World Registration

Published

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. :clown:

(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)

hi cheerup! have you decided whether you're going to accept the december or not? i am for december but i don't know yet if i still can catch up with visa and retaking the ielts exam. my agent informed me just this monday that i am advised to take again since my ielts will expire this december.. :madface: i got disappointed with them since they never told me ahead of time. i was supposedly for october but got problems then rescheduled it for december.

go for dec! i think there's still time! i dont have the eCoe so i cant apply for a visa yet. let's wait and hope together :)

re: ielts -- i actually emailed ahpra about my expiring ielts and they told me that i dont need it for registration as i was assessed already (caveat: dont take my word for this, get a personal written confirmation from them just to be sure). i forwarded ahpra's email to aaon and maybe that's one of the reason they offered me a slot. nevertheless, i resat the ielts last week and im still waiting for the result.

Hi bigbrowneyes.

I did not enroll in AAoN but instead i enrolled at University of Ballarat and im ok with them already. The enrollment procedures are simple and they're very approachable too. The intakes for January 2013 is already full, so they put me on the next batch which is on June 2013; quite long months to wait but im Ok with it, as long as in the long run i will be pursuing my IRON program before my LOE expires.:)

By the way, hope you could settle your problem with your ielts. God Bless..:)

Hi there! How's the application at Mercy like? Their tuition fees are considerably high hey.. That's why i was hesitant to apply..

You are better off doing AAON December intake indeed if your LOE will expire first quarter.

God bless you with the rest of your endeavours! :)

for those who are for the December intake of AAON, is the confirmation letter same as certicate of enrolment? is this the one we need to attach when we do online application of the visa?
