    I have a colleague, too, that took this route. If by getting into this caregiving course, you will be exempted from the IELTS requirement because you have studied for 2 years in Australia then, I...

    I don't understand... do you have the AHPRA eligibility letter already? Or were you able to get the AHPRA letter without the IELTS Test Report Form? If so, you can apply with IHNA or CON or any...

    Well, you are partly correct there actually. If the credit card you used is denominated in Australian dollars, then that should be the cheapest. There are no hidden charges and no exchange rate...

    Actually, AAON is an affiliate of Uni of Ballarat. So, in this sense, it is comparable to LTU. Just make sure that your bp hunting doesn't backfire. What I mean is, you might lose your slot at LTU...

    I would suggest you take the LTU slot. Aside from being a University (It's more prestigious and would be an advantage in your cv), it also has an early exit option. IHNA (formerly VCHN) doesn't have...

    This is a shout-out to anyone who has undergone the bp at ETEA. Can you please give us an idea regarding the required uniform? I emailed them and they told me that everything about the course will...

    I also encountered this dilemma. I got so worried about it because this was what the CON asked for - a clarification. When I got hold of AHPRA though, they insisted that the phrasing is standard for...
