Bridging Program in Australia

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)

    If you study nursing (bridging course or bachelor of nursing) you must pass IELTS with score of 7 to register as a nurse with AHPRA. If you do not pass the English test you can not work as a nurse. Some international students I know from last year have taken the test several times & not passed. It costs money each time you take the test.

    Thank you for that reply. I am just confused cause my aunt always tells me to study there in AU for two years then afterwards I could practice my profession after finishing the course. But I also know that I won't be able to secure my career there without passing the ielts. It's just somehow I envy my cousin who will be going there in 2 months time from now together with her husband cause they could start their life in Australia.

    Hello! I am new poster but lurker for quite some time now. I'm currently reviewing for IELTS and I would just like to clarify if there is a BP school that offers monthly intake for nurses? Or any BP school that accepts intake for this year? If there's a website you can recommend, I would highly appreciate it. I can't find the exact page in the long forum so I really need your help. TIA. :)

    Hi,

    I just got the offer with ACFE for August intake as well. Do you have any idea about their validity of the proved course?

    Hi,

    I submitted my application 2 weeks ago and I was verbally advised to be on the list of over 350 applicants. My possibility to undertake the course with CON will be in May next year. I got offer the course in August with ACFE but I am in doubt about their validity.

    hi,

    according to **** (course coordinator) they are still under the process of re accreditation. I just hope everything goes well since I already paid the full amount of tuuition.

    Hi princess, I think you need to be aggressive on this one. I encountered problems with aphra, the email account they registered is different from the one I'm using so I didn't received the updates and my loe on time. So I think it will be better if you can give them a call...
