Guest runner Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi I wonder if anyone can help me.....I am getting togther all my documents for AHPRA and need a letter from my secondary school to say I was taught in English to avoid doing the IELTS. The problem is my school closed a couple of years after I left and I have contacted my education authority where i attended school and they have just got back to me to say they have NO archives of any pupil that attended my school. :mad:I am so frustrated. So I want to know if I can..... 1 .Get my school exam 'O' level certificates notarised 2 .Write a statement to say I attended the school and get that witnessed by a notary too Would this be adequate? Has anyone else had any experience of this at all? I would be interested to hear. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tandcmum Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 i couldn't get a letter from my secondry school as altho still there and i culd tell them what year i was in, who my teachers were etc they wouldn't do me a letter as they only kept records for 5 yrs. I asked AHPRA abut this and they told me to do a statutory declaration which i wrote and signed in front of the justice of peace. I have just got my in principle letter from AHPRA so it must have been okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest runner Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thank you so much for your replies thats a great help. Just one more question regarding the statutory declaration......is there a template for this or is it a statement you write personally saying to the effect "I attended X school from 'date' to 'date' and was taught in English".

Thanks I just got my nursing board to add in letter of good standing that my training was thru english & that we work thru the english in Ireland. APHRA were satisfied with that.
