护士/助产士注册语言要求新政2011年9月19日起生效-最新政策
2011年9月19日对于在澳大利亚或其它受NMBA认可的6个国家学习护士或助产士的学生而言是个重要的日子。因为从这一天起,只要学生满足如下所述的要求,即可以在提交护士或助产士注册申请时,豁免提供至申请之日起的两年内的单次IELTS(雅斯)学术类各单项不低于4个7或OET至少四个B或以上的要求。可以说,对高中在澳洲学习或在澳洲学习年限较长的护士或助产士学生而言是一大利好消息。
NMBA认可7个国家为:
? 澳大利亚
? 加拿大
? 新西兰
? 爱尔兰
? 南非
? 英国
? 美国
想获得语言豁免,学生需要满足以下基本条件:
? 在以上所列7个国家完成5年的全时学习,英语为其授课母语;
? 此五年全时学习可以是高中与大学学习,或职业教育与大学学习,或高中,职业教育与大学学习的结合;
? 对于注册护士/注册助产士(Registered Nurses or Registered Midwives)申请者,此5年当中需至少有2年满足护士或助产士初始注册要求的相关课程的全时学习;
? 对于登记护士/登记助产士(Enrolled Nurses or Enrolled Midwives)申请者,此5年当中需至少有1年满足护士或助产士初始注册要求的相关课程的全时学习;
? 对于无法满足以上要求的学生,还需提供IELTS学术类最低4个7或OET B或以上的成绩。
解决对策:
? 注册满足NMBA要求的课程,使申请人满足以上所述5年学习要求,以获得语言要求豁免;
在此过程中,学生可持学生签证或其它有效签证继续完成学业,或考取到7分的学术类IELTS(雅思)或OET B级或以上直接申请护士/助产士注册而顺利申请移民,停止学习,可谓灵活方便

New English Language Skills Registration Standard from 19 September 2011
The revised NMBA English language skills registration standard:
? still requires registered nurses, midwives and enrolled nurses to communicate effectively in English
? brings the NMBA English language skills registration standard in line with the standard of the other National Boards, while retaining key profession specific features
? means that applicants who have completed a minimum of five years (full-time equivalent) of combined secondary and/or vocational and/or tertiary education taught and assessed in English, in: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, the United Kingdom or the United States of America are considered to have met the standard and therefore do not need to sit an English language test. All other applicants are required to submit evidence of English proficiency
? recognises the different education requirements for each category of nursing. For registered nurses and registered midwives, two of these full-time equivalent five years required above must be a pre-registration program of study taught and assessed in English in one of the countries listed above. For enrolled nurses, one of these full-time equivalent five years must be a pre-registration program of study taught and assessed in English in one of the countries listed above
? gives the Board flexibility to consider and/or grant an exemption to a defined group through the development of nationally-consistent policy, if in the future there is compelling evidence demonstrating English language proficiency equivalent to the standard for a defined cohort
? is supported by detailed transition provisions for currently-enrolled students who are soon to complete their courses. For example, current students due to complete their course by the end of 2011 or who complete their outstanding course requirements by 30 March 2012 must either meet the Board’s current (to 18 September 2011) requirements in relation to English language skills, or they can opt to meet the Board’s new standard.
