IELTS score requirement for CNO registration (crne)

[canimmigrant]

this was the letter COLLEGE OF NURSES sent to me after i inquired regarding their IELTS requirements:

The CNO accepts both Academic and General categories for IELTS, accepted scores are: 6.5 over all (Writing, Reading, Listening) and 7.0 in Spoken. The CNO does not have an expiry date for fluency tests. Fluency is not a requirement to take the national exam but it will be required to obtain your nursing license in Ontario. If you have already completed the fluency test and would like it evaluated by the CNO please request the testing centre to mail your results directly to the CNO.


Hello.. im new here..

i took the Academic IELTS last JUNE 2010.. with a score of..
listening= 8.5
reading=6.5
writing=7.0
speaking=7.0

i used my IELTS results and mailed for my CNO(used with the old forms) and FSW immigrant application..
the letter above from CNO.. says.. theres no expiration for fluency tests... does it mean.. no expiration in the 4 areas of IELTS??

hi coffeecity... there is no expiration for fluency tests means once you have submitted your IELTS result to the College, that will be enough to cover your Proof of Language Proficiency requirement... even if your IELTS expires (in your case, it will expire on JUNE 2012) and you still have not finalized your registration process with them, you will no longer be required to submit another IELTS result...

i hope this helps... best of luck to you!

yes, but if you did take IELTS already and have the results they require (at least), you can send it ahead.

material for which part exactly?

with the writing, i only searched for examples from the internet. but that was my second take. my first one was Academic training.

With speaking, you just need to build your confidence. I myself can tell there was a big difference between my first speaking test and second. on my first take, i only had a speaking result of 7.0. i was crazy nervous and the interviewer was the known "tiger" during that batch. That did not help at all. However, it helps to psyche yourself. What i said to myself was: "She does not know me and after I am done with this interview, we'll never see each other again, nor will she remember who I am. So, i might as well just put on a face and let it all out... no hesitations, no awkwardness... just try to be confident and be comfortable with everything you have to say. be yourself." the same thing i said to myself during my 2nd take. of course, i was still nervous, but knowing what to expect and that i have done it before, that helped me boost my confidence. With speaking, it's all about confidence and remember, THERE'S NO WRONG OR RIGHT ANSWER. they just want to know if you can hold a conversation clearly.. not necessarily very fluent but at least understandable enough

Good luck! hope my tips will help you.

Hi baby_gurl,

I was planning to take the IELTS(GT) next month & I'm so damn nervous taking my (1st)IELTS if I can only pay/send someone to take the IELTS for me(LoL ),I almost got tons of paper at our house for the review materials but everytime i hold on it i only feel sleepy I don't know wer to start  ,do you think it is more advisable to take the IELTS review sessions offered by IDP or to have a self review?

hello hamhamness. (nice nick )

totally understand what you mean. it really is confusing which decisions to make especially on our first times (in any situation).

personally, i find it very helpful to get help from others such us their own opinion, suggestions, experiences, knowledge, etc. you can only do these when you're actually around other people. it'll also help you be at ease with yourself knowing that you're not relying only on your own wisdom but from others as well.

i'm not saying it's impossible to pass this exam on your own. a lot of people have done it. but if you want to have better chances of passing this on your first take especially when you're not confident with yourself, you got nothing to lose if you just make sure you get all the help you can get.

you can always practice speaking the language at home. instead of talking to your family or friends in your native language, do it in English. it's all about becoming comfortable with it. with the writings, it's always helpful to know where you're mistaken and learn from it. this is where teachers/tutors come in handy. but be aware that not all review centers actually do a one-on-one lesson. i remember on my first review center, it was not helpful AT ALL. i did not learn anything from them especially with writing. they just told us where we were wrong but did not really give me tips on how to improve on it.

Good luck and God bless!

i just found out a few days ago that they have changed their IELTS requirement for registration from ACADEMIC only to accepting both ACADEMIC and GENERAL training IELTS. i was so relieved coz I took General Training last April 2010. i was going to retake IELTS for academic training this january for my CNO registration and CRNE application. good thing they would still accept more than 6 months old IELTS result.

just wanted to share for those who are not aware of their new IELTS policy.

are you from Philippines?
you can request the result from either BRITISH COUNCIL or IDP. it depends on which of them you will take IELTS with. after you take the exam, you can request/download the request form from their website, pay the processing fee and they will mail the result to CNO.

God bless!

I'm planning to register for my CNO and CRNE application. Well I'm quite confused if my IELTS result would still be accepted. I took the ACADEMIC exam Dec 2008 and its already expired last Dec 2010 with the overall score of 7.( listening 7.5, writing 6.5, reading 7.0, speaking 7.0) . And I also took GENERAL training last March 2011 since it is a requirement for my immigrant application. I also got a an overall score of 7 however with a different result. ( listening 7.5, writing 6.5, reading 7.5, speaking 6.5). Would they consider my ACADEMIC result even though its already expired ? or my GENERAL training result is enough?
