You can be undertaking bridging study for overseas-trained professionals only if you hold an assessment statement issued by the assessing body for a listed professional occupation.
An assessment statement is a written statement issued by an assessing body for a listed professional occupation. It indicates the studies, examinations and/or tuition and training programmes that you need to undertake successfully to meet the requirements for entry to your profession in Australia.
Listed professional occupations and the assessing bodies for each of these occupations are specified in List of occupations and relevant assessing authorities.
It is not necessary to be enrolled in what is normally regarded as a higher education course for you to be undertaking bridging study for overseas-trained professionals. Whether you are undertaking bridging study for overseas-trained professionals depends on what your assessment statement indicates is necessary to meet the requirements for entry to one of the listed professional occupations.
