PTE Academic supports nurses & health care professionals

PTE Academic is an increasingly popular English proficiency test of choice for nurses and other healthcare professionals looking to open up possibilities for career advancement and exciting migration opportunities within their chosen vocation.

At a recent RPS Migration seminar for nurses, held in Singapore, I was given the opportunity to present on PTE Academic to the audience of nurses and healthcare professionals.

It was great to meet first hand these healthcare professionals, some of whom will take our test in order to turn their dreams into reality, and heartening to see the excitement in their eyes as they speak of their migration plans and life journey ahead.

Recognition work done by PTE Academic teams in Australia and globally have opened up audiences such as these healthcare professionals; with our test now recognized as a key ingredient and viable option in the path toward working abroad and permanent residency.

Key to this success is the Australian government recognition of PTE Academic scores toward work visa and migration applications. Following this and also of considerable importance is recognition of the test from numerous healthcare professional bodies.

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council’s (ANMAC) included PTE Academic as an accepted language test for nurses and midwives applying for a migration skills assessment in July 2016.

In the years since, PTE Academic has continued to expand its recognition and acceptance with healthcare bodies both in Australia and globally.

PTE Academic is now recognized by:

• Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA)

  Encompassing, The National Boards of: Chinese Medicine, Chiropractic, Dental, Medical, Medical Radiation Practice, Nursing and Midwifery, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Osteopathy, Paramedicine, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Psychology

• A growing number of State Boards of Nursing in the USA including Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas.

• Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians Board of New Zealand

Looking to the future we will be aiming to get recognition from ever more professional bodies, so that PTE Academic can continue to play its part in facilitating great adventures and bringing to fruition life-changing events for working professionals both young and old.
