I was thinking of getting IELTS test or CPE but it was really expensive. A week course of IELTS is around £200 and CPE is a little more higher. I still don't know if they would acknowledge my Italian Diploma. But even they do I am still thinking that since I am still a Filipino citizen it will be difficult to get a job for there will be a mass of new EU demands for work (argh! pessimist). Non skilled work are plenty around which one might do for a short period of timeOriginally Posted by joebloggs
yes, my wife works for the nhs in the vampire squad, taking blood from patients, but shes not a qualfied nurse, but a registered doctor in the philippines.
if you want to work as a nurse, I think you have to take the IELTS english test, and get a pass average of 6.5 for a nurse, and for a doctor its 7.0
then in my wifes case she has to take PLAB 1 and PLAB 2 tests, then she can register and work as a doctor in the uk
most of the philippine registered nurses my wife knows, work either as nursing assistants or work as carers in residential homes as the are not registered to work as nurses in the UK as they have not taken exams.
sorry I can't be more helpful
. Does your wife intend to do the PLAB1 and 2 test Joe? Is it expensive?
