pegg Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi all , feeling pretty low as failed ilets test again for the 4th time ! But this time failed reading and the writing - usually i fail only on the reading !!!! Anyhow just looked at ahpra and from july this year they have revised english test and i qualify to register as a nurse without ilets . But then i checked anmac and ilets still on there ???? Ive emailed my agent as i feel abit confused over the whole issue - ahpra dont want ilets - yet skills assesment for anmac do ?????????? Just wondered if any of you guys could share some light on matter whilst i wait for info from agent ? Also i dont want to book another ilets if i do not need it . Many Thanks in advance Lisa X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegg Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Further investigation …. Aphra do not need ilets for registration as i comply with there registration requirements for permanent residency ,As of july this year. …..Visa requires ilets - but general and score of 6 in each section. However for permanent residency visa they require skills assesment - hence anmac wanting ilets … score 7! So just wondering is it only permanent residency visa that requires skills to be assessed to work as a nurse ? ??? This is such a crazy process ? Anyhow i wait to see what info i get from my agent . and probably get ready to book another ilets …… ARGHHHHH ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yes you only need the skills assessment if your applying for a permanent visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegg Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 If you got a 457 for example it's only temporary PR is the better option. Spoke to agent, and yep looks like i can now register with aphra as i meet criteria for english standard via my nursing path - degree etc! so good news there ! Also visa only require 6 in ilets - but the annoying matter is for skills assessment anmac want 7 in accademic ! But no worries , will crack on - as feel permanent residency is best visa for us . lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Have you considered one of the other tests, as there are a couple of alternative tests now available for immi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racheld Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 hi It took me 6 attempts at the IELTS so i know how frustrating it can be but stick with it. I got my AHPRA (with out IELTs)which meant I only need to do the general test (for visas) which is easier and passed so I've had no problem with ANMAC, which was a great relief. it has taken me in total 6 year to get to where i am now, which is all documents ready and expression of interest in awaiting invite (finger cross it will be the next one on thursday). so keep going you will get there:smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
