I am considering undertaking an Advanced Diploma of Enrolled Nursing qualification interstate. What should I be aware of?
Qualifications from interstate providers are generally recognised nationally, however you should confirm with the Nursing and Midwifery Board NSW and your employer that the specific course will be eligible for the continuing education allowance (CEA) at your workplace and at which pay increment you will be placed on upon completion as per the relevant Award or Enterprise Agreement.
Not all types of advanced diplomas will be sufficiently relevant to receive a CEA in all workplaces.
You should also consider the cost and duration of the course and whether the interstate provider offers online coursework which could be completed from NSW.
If the course is provided by a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO), you may also wish to research any customer reviews of the provider before proceeding to ensure that you are satisfied with the quality and content of the course and provider.
