Hi again Fyzzio :

Well , I understand the difference between US Paradigim of practice in relation to OZ ( Australia and NZ ) practice , I see that difference you are talking about in basic curriculum as paradigim , in USA may be electro. and pseduo.practice , in Auastralia it is Manual Therapy.

As for
Meaning if NZ physio.Board has such number of British physio.applications ( if you give a look at the Board letters ) , surely it would get that IELTS score boom( high) .
I meant to see if there were not high number of applications from the UK recieved by the NZ Board , It would change this English communication criteria to get chance from other countries , just simple you need so that you will try to select the best for your needs .

Regarding objectivity , I thought you may agree with my view if a British or New Zealander native Citizen entered IELTS , they will not get the score of 7.5 in Academic IELTS .

Part of being objective , I criticized the Arab Emirates system on this forum regarding physiotherapists´ salaries discrimination gender-based and Nationality-based ...A physiotherapist from Emirates came very angry replied givimg me more evdience of discrimination , we just need to be fair enough to accept negative aspects of our countries´systems

Personally , English is not my first language , I tried so much to get the 7 IELTS score unfortunately I was unlucky with that test , I gave it up then .Now , I am more happy to be in a better country . It is just a matter of luck and chance .

All the best for you
Nice to have new friend from NZ
cheers
Emad
