New Zealand Registration in 8 weeks

[cbergenroth]

Dear James,

I had the same question, I rang the board last week and basically said I don't have anything from Uni, nor could I get my IST signed etc as I now live in Oz and they were done in the UK and about 7 years ago. Basically they said that was why they had brought in teh self-declaration form (pieces of evidence) form so we basically have to declare all the work we have personally done (it is int the application form bit think). That way they are basically trusting that you are telling the truth about the work you are supplying as being your own....Does that help?, made life alot easier for me,

Take care, Claire

Hi Claire,

That does seem to make sense yes. I take it all the statements and evidence you put together they will accept once that part of the form is signed...? Thankyou for letting me know. There is just lots of information to remember and then you leave it for a week or two and need to read over it again! Good luck with things. Are you looking at jobs already? I hear rumours that the job situtation is not very good in nz at the moment...dont know if this is true at all.

Hi guys,

Congrats to whoever has succesfully got the registration. I haven't started the process yet but have some questions before taking the plunge. I studied from India and I know that I will have to study in NZ before I can apply for registration. From previous threads it seems like I might lack in the cardioplumonary area for the competencies. My question is- If I plan to do a course in that area should it be in acute care or in exercise physiology and exs prescription ? I am currently working in the US and for physios they don't have any courses in acute cardiopulmonary PT.

thanks for all the valuable inputso far.
