To UNisA april 2013 students: 1.) how long did you receive your coe after paying the tuition fee? 2.) did you really have 2 doses of mmr and varicella vaccine? I was told by my clinic that one dose each would be enough. Anyone? Thanks!

Hi Arenlima

I am also working here in UAE and also planning to do BP in aus, I just want to know how did you go through the process? Do you have any agency? Enlighten me please, thank you in advance. By the way can I get your email address if you wont mind?

ETEA program, very briefly was on accredited list for bridging education list last week, (early february) then disappeared within the hour of it being there, though, has always remained on inactive list since end of January.

Please be aware of this, check with AHPRA any of those pursuing this course.

Just always check NMBA's website, because its there. And it is approved until 2016.

Hi! I'm guessing 50 or so but you can email UNISA just to confirm. They always reply after 1 to 2 days :)

Thank u for your response mate..

hi beauex! so you are now ready for arntp this april? good for you..i still have to process my documents, that's why im thinking of joining the october intake this year..

may i ask, how many weeks did it take for you to receive the letter of offer from UNISA? lastly, when did you lodge your application to UNISA for this april 2013 intake? thank you!

Thanks for the advice yaoming, I am in the process of applying for IHNA...its embarrasing to say that I failed the online exam so I need to take it again. I'm so rusty with all the Q&A now since working fulltime doesn't give me any time other than work and sleep only. So I'll give myself 2 weeks to review then attempt the 2nd one. I pray time would be on my side.

Re IDP, I kind of lost hope. Upon receiving my eligibility last year Dec, I immediately forward it to them. As their motto says, You're better placed with IDP. I applied for Latrobe and UNISA early Dec last year, and came back with a reply of "Slots are full". Deakins has not yet decided to open their doors because their getting re-accreditation as IDP says.

So lessons learned. Don't sit on your laurels and let agency's do all the things. I should've applied to ALL the schools last year. Now, even AAON's next intake is September?

Any Idea how to get Castlemaine's requirement of travel insurance? Is that the same as Health insurance?

Also, for the immunisations, if I try to get the vaccines from a favorite pediatrician of mine, would it suffice?

Thanks!

Hi! I've been comparing the school's course fees and I've read from La Trobe website that theirs only costs 10,500 AUD. I'd like to know how much you have paid all in all including enrollment fees, material fees and if they have a package or something for the insurance and accommodation. Thanks! :)

Hi!

I received an email from IHNA which says:

"As you are eligible for the program and have successfully cleared the interview, we are forwarding your application to the concerned department for the release of offer letter. The offer letter will be issued as per the seat availability in the respective campuses."

How many days will i wait for the offer letter?

Will i still be expecting a skype interview? (I only did the online exam). Thanks!

hi. anyone here for LA TROBE June 2013 intake? I got my confirmation of enrollment last week, looking for future schoolmates. Thanks.

Hi! I'd like to try applying for June 2013 in La Trobe, but they haven't replied to my inquiry yet. Can you give me some details about the application process and a breakdown of fees please? Thanks in advance.
