Hi! I would like to ask also one thing...Is it possible to go directly to the bridging course for 3 months even without a letter from AHPRA yet? Or you should have it first before you can enroll to any school? thank you!

you should have an eligibility letter from AHPRA before you can take the bridging course however there's one school in adelaide wherein you can undergo ARNTP even without an AHPRA letter but you have to have IELTS and 2 years work experience and some other documents that will be required by the school.

hi ms sbeatrix! Yes I also had my interview this morning. Same the signal wasn't that good. About the calculations, she repeated the questions twice herself before she waited for my answer. Just hoping I did it right. Do you know what type of visa they require? also, Do you have an idea about the start dates of the course ? ( They will send the outcome maybe next week). God bless to us!

They require business visa 456. I asked. Because I see lonsdale is cricos provider while alpine health is not. I asked if I can apply as a student visa...the line was blurry when she tried explaining it but the gist of it is that we can only apply 456 visa. Also, I asked if they offer early exit...they say the course is very short enough as it is...so no, they don't offer. we'd have to exit and comeback.

hi chelseaxyrene,

I have received my offer letter from AHPRA 12 days after verification of my documents. The problem is that the intake schedule available are 23rd August in Perth and 13th September; my LOE expires in August 2. They advised me to contact AHPRA to confirm validity of my decision letter. Given the tough competition in seat availability. What do you think is the better option, to contact AHPRA or apply in another school?

Are you the one from Davao? Thanks.

Anyone here who had experienced requesting for extension of LOE's validity? What's the likelihood that they would grant your request? and how soon would they respond to us? please share me your thoughts?

Thanks.
