Hi Kirsten,

I am also looking to write the DHA exam. The only info I found in regards to study resources was on the HRD website (Health Regulation Department) on the Government of Dubai website. They suggested the following titles:

1) Muscle Testing and Function with Posture and Pain. 5th Edition, Florence Peterson, 2005
2) Clayton's Electro Therapy, Theory and Practice, Anglea Foster 9th Ed. 1999
3) Tidy's Physiotherapy, 13th Edition.
4) Physical Rehabilitation, Assessment and Treatment, 3rd Edition, Susan B.Q. Sullivan, 1994.
5) Tide's Physical Therapy, Ann Thomason 12th edition.

These books seem so outdated to me!!! I was wondering if you could help me out...I'm trying to apply to write the DHA test via Prometrics the computer testing center, but we require an "Eligibility ID" to apply to write the test. Do you know how to receive this ID?

Cheers,

Kate

Hello Canada Kate .. Hello Kirsten,
I passed the DHA licensing exam in March 2013 and it was a nice experience ! I highly encourage you both to take the exam and start looking for jobs in Dubai. There is a high demand for western qualified physiotherapists in Dubai and they receive excellent salaries as well.

The exam nearly cover all aspects of physiotherapy practice. So, when you get to study for the DHA exam look for sources that review all areas of practice no matter what the source is. Personally, i studied from NPTE review and study guide. Other colleagues used Tidy's Physiotherapy. Focus as much as you can on anatomy, therapeutic modalities and Muscloskeletal Physiotherapy.

The exam is a 70 MCQ questions in 2 hours. In my own point of view it is not a hard exam .. I can call it "Normal or Average Level exam".
The whole process takes no more than 14 days to complete (including the exam) provided that you have your payment method ready because they do not accept payments from outside UAE :/ :/

To receive your "Eligibility ID" you have to apply on the DHA website first. Make a new account there, upload required documents and pay fees. After 3 days they will direct you to "Data Flow" to make sure of your documents validity. If all your documents are valid and everything is okay they will direct you to the Prometric website and provide you with the "Eligibility ID" to sit for your exam.

I hope my reply is helpful and not too late !!
For further inquiries plz feel free to contact me on: [email protected]

Exam dose not requires any sponsor ship but after passing exam you have to be sponsored from hospital/clinic to get license.

Its up to you, both routs are ok, advantage of going through recruiting company they MAY help you to find out some job and disadvantage is they will charge for it. Good Standing certificate will issued by local medical council, usually, of your primary qualification, they will charge for it and have a expiring period.

Tidy`s Physiotherapy, 13th Edition. Physical Rehabilitation, Assessment and Treatment, 3rd Edition, Susan B.Q., Sullivan, 1994. Tide`s Physical Therapy, Ann Thomason, 12th Edition.
