so sorry I was lost. I submitted my application January 19. They received it 30/1, however, they didn't email me not until I called them if they have received my application form. I submitted it from New Zealand

Hi everyone, I was reluctant before in replying to those asking about ETEA, and decided to reply after finishing the course. I took ETEA's March intake and just finished the placement yesterday. So to those who have asked, I had a very nice and smooth experience with ETEA heidelburg. My choice of placement was accommodated and inquiries were all responded straigjt forward. theory class is also very straight forward. staff and instructors are helpful. Hope this helps tothose still looking for school for the bridging program. Pm me if you still wamt to know more. :)

Hi is it necessary to get a roundtrip ticket if you have a student visa or can you book ur return flight on a later date?

[khaleesi123]

I'm curious. Has anybody here been not deemed eligible for the bridging program because of lack of experience or any other reason? Because I want to make sure I have the requirements before I start my application than be rejected for lacking something. And if there was, is there a waiting period before you can apply again or request for a consideration?

Hi Khaleesi123, I have a one year experience in community nursing in the phil (RNheals prog) before I apply in AHPRA. I received my Elegibility letter after 5-6 months.

Just make sure that you have to complete all the requirements.

[ezra scarlet]

Try asking your RO or call the AHPRA office.My RO usually replies to my queries the next day.

No, I'm here in Australia and I've been doing self review because i'm in a regional area, so there's no review center near my place. online tutorial is too expensive.

I have a reviewer for OET if you like I can e-mail it to you :)

Hello fellow nurses!

I would like to inquire if anyone has had the experience of applying for a student visa even though they are taking the 3-month bridging program only? I was told that the visa which can be granted is a visit visa only.

'taking the course on July at ACN burwood. Any feedbacks with this institution also?

Thanks!

Schools with CRICOS can give additional documents to get a student visa--- example would be ETEA. Student visa is costlier as compared to visiting visa--- it's about 30K pesos more.
