Criteria for APC examinations for UK qualified Physios - Do we have to have 12 months

[Terry_O]

Hello PJ

I only graduated last year (2009) from the University of Brighton. I have looked high and low on the APA website and I cant fine anything that states if your a UK newly grad you cant apply. I've gone ahead and submitted my application. I'll keep you updated with my progress.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies. Terry your right I searched everywhere too and am now in the process of applying to the APC for initial assessment too if that fails I will have to go do a 2 yr fast track course of BSc again so hopefully it doesnt come to that! Anyways, I am finding it quite hard to get those professional references and my deadline is end of this month if I wanna do the September exam!! Would you by any chance have a template or sample letter that you could share? Perhaps we should form a thread on the forum for people like me n u who are newly grads! I also graduated in 2009 frm KCl!!

Thanks

The application process is a mission. I am currently in Oz and I came out here with what i thought were all the necessary bits and pieces. But once i got out here I realised I had to obtain more documents or get documents resent from uni. The whole process has been a nightmare but thank god its all done.

The professional references I would get them from two senior lecturers from your university, thats what I did. Unfortunately i don't have mine anymore as I sent them with my application.

I would send your application by courier it will get here faster.

Good luck

Hi Terry!! How is your oz process going dear? I have just recieved my first reference finally!! From my university I require another hopefully sometime soon from one of my placements!! And then I can put thru my application. So how much post-grad experience have you got? Do you think we can make it thru the examinations especially the practical one makes me nervous thinking about it!!
