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)

Hi Bigbrowneyes,

I just called AAON today asking about my interview result. The lady said I passed the interview and just needed to wait for the offered letter which will be sent to my home address. In your case it will be sent to your agency. They will not inform you through email now. They will have 2 slots of this year, October and December. She said the Octobet intake is now full, I probably get into December one. This week they are sending the letters to overseas applicants and next week will be on shore' turn. Let me know your result and keep in touch in case we are in the same slot then we can share accommodation.

they now have december? wow! that's great. hopefully i can also get in. i will surely send you a message.

Which intake are you for?

I am for the March 2013 intake and just enrolled today. I am awaiting my confirmation of admission.

If you haven't enrolled yet, IHNA will email you their offer letter along with other documents. They will email you separately an invoice which you will need to pay the enrollment fee online. It's fairly easy, you just follow their instructions included in their communication. I registered for the online course myself but couldn't get access yet. I emailed IHNA and this is what they said:

Your enrolment fee payment of 1500 AUD is towards e-learning and seat confirmation at IHNA. Once your payment is reflected in our account, you will receive an invoice receipt from our accounts department. This receipt has to be send to us. We shall forward it to the e-learning department and they will be providing you with the e-learning access. This amount of 1500 AUD is inclusive in the total course fee of 12,500 AUD.

The online learning has to be completed before the commencement date of the program. It is to facilitate you with the Australian Health practises prior to the course.

Hope this helps.

February 2013. I already paid the full amount yesterday via bpay, how about you? Still waiting for their response

Hi bigbrowneyes,

Surprisingly, I received the email from AAON today offering me the program in October. I am so happy. ^___^ . What happen to you now? Have you got the interview yet? You may need to ring them. I have their internal number if you want. I got it accidently on the day that the lady called me about my interview time. But I cannot post it here. Give me your email address.

Hi guys!

I received a letter from ahpra and now I am looking for a school that offers bridging program. Is it required to apply first in ihna?

Also, my ielts has expired last July. Is it necessary for me to take ielts again before I can apply to ihna? thanks. :)

Hi bigbrowneyes,
