Nurse training in Oz and Visa

[gwen]

Hi all,
yet another question,would I be able to apply for a visa if i went for my nurse training (EN) .Would this be classed as a student Visa.Iv been nursing for twenty years but never became reg.I have alot of training within my nurse roll and also an NVQ 2 and 3.
I am 40 this year,it was just another thought of how to get me and my family into oz my OH is a painter but until they do something with pathway D we stuffed really unless we get some responce from expo this month.
God I go on I always get side tracked.So if any body any info of web sights I could go on I would be very greatful,its mainly to no if I would get sponserd to do my training. Hoping to go round Gold coast but a bit inland.
Thanks again Gwen

Just a quick one, you do not apply for a student visa then look at a course to do.

You first find course place, receive offer, pay required amount then they send you Confirmation of Enrolment which is used to do visa online.

You can transfer credit for previous training and experience under RPL i.e. recognition of prior learning.

Cheers Andrew

Hi Andrew, thankyou for that.Could I be a pain and ask you if you no any web sights to go on,as I have been looking but i am totally lost.
So what you are saying is to apply for nurse training then my visa would be sorted after that.Have you any idea the prices.Thankyou so much for your help.
Is there anybody else on Poms that have taken this root.

Thanks Gwen x x x x

In WA Murdoch University, Edith Cowen uni and Notre Dame Uni all have nursing students - email them and enquire about overseas training.

Do you know any over that way,I would be grateful.
