[quorthon]

hi emmi....I just sent an e-mail to AAPTA requesting information about how overseas physios get supported for the APC exams....As i can see though u are an Italian ( i am Greek...) and i suppose that you have got through the whole procedure of the exams (since u working in australia,right??) so i d like to hear from you what kind of support u got from AAPTA during the exam procedure....u know, i am planning to migrate in Australia in the next 2 years and my major concern is first of all the written part of the examination....I am desperately looking for the curriculum used....u know, the bibliography i need to study to be best prepared!

Thanks for any reply!!!

Hi,

I haven't had any support from Aapta because it was me and other colleagues to create it after we finished the process. I'm sure you'll find all you need in the file section (study material, info) and don't forget to chat in the forum with all the other candidates! Others' experiences are the best help!

Good luck
Emanuela

thanks emmy for the reply!!! Just because u had the experience of APC exams, i d like to know from you how much time BEFORE should i start to prepare myself for the exams??? To give u an example of this, i am planning to sit on the written exams on March 2012 (i hope the world will not have been obliterated by then....looooolll)...U may find it a little ...long time from now, but trust me there are some other issues i need to take care,for example to prepare and sit for the English language exams (IELTS), because without this certificate i cannot even apply for the initial assessment!!!
Just not to forget, is there any Fees for this kind of aid by AAPTA?? i couldnt find such information on the site

Thanks again
Cheers!

Hi,

most of the people will start studying months before the exam, I can't tell you about my experience as I had to sit the exam 3 times, and luckily at that time I had had just finished a Master in Sports Physio, so I didn't have to re-study the orthopaedics area.

Aapta is not for profit and everything is free. Once you are in Aapta you can view the past exam papers and from there you'll be able to understand how much you have to study.

Hi Emanuela

I have been trying to become a member of the AAPTA group but with no luck. Once I try to submit my registration and I click on become a member nothing happens. Should I be receiving some sort of response saying my application has been sent? Is it possible the form is temporarily down? Please let me know.
