ETEA Bridging Program

World Registration

Published

Hi everyone.. I have a problem.. Hope you can help me with this.. I started applying for ETEA last month, got interviewed via phone last week and now, I already have my letter of offer from them. I was given 7 days to pay for the tuition.. By the way, I am for January 2013 intake..The problem is, my letter of eligibility from AHPRA is due to expire on the 26th of October.. Is it possible to ask for an extension from AHPRA? It is stated in the letter that I need to complete an NMBA approved program within the period given to me.. And now, my offer from ETEA is for January 2013.. :( What should I do? Please help.. Will greatly appreciate.. Thanks RNs! :nurse:

Does the ANF know about this?

Etea now display on their website ,half, a letter showing approval from ANAMC. To take 54! Students on 9! Times a year.

That's 500 students a year, more than any university or Tafe! Now they are the most expensive at 16,000 each student, wow.If this is the case where are all the clinical placements? Universities have trouble finding placements for local students.The course is still not accredited past January on AHPRAs list.

Please beware about ETEA.ETEA is in AHPRA radar for misusing the course structure and to accomadate more students.Now all the ETEA students are in trouble.Even after 5 months of course students are not getting the registraton from AHPRA.AHPRA do recheck all the records of students this take 3-5 months.So all the students are in trouble.So please think twice before jump to ETEA.

Its because some students failed to complete their requirements on time.. Aside from that, there was a problem before with etea's accreditation. And there are lots of graduates from all over australia in december thats why ahpra received lots of applicants and workload.according to a reliable source,etea students are starting to receive their registrations now..

Just want to ask where I could probably stay around ETEA campus for the first 2 months. Any suggestions?

Btw, the downloaded booklet on ETEA's website doesn't do any help at all.

After all the money they're raking in from their students, don't they provide any assistance whatsoever?

Ask the student support so she can help you about that matter. You can send an email to her.
