[capetownrocks]

Hi Im almost there but from the UK. Just awaiting my visa approval and im heading over to start in October.

Tiffany Wiernusz at Julia Edmunds Associates has been one person ive relied on for help, shes been great and can get you a job,visa etc...

Good Luck and if she asks just say James put you in touch

Thanx for the heads-up James!

Am green with envy on ur progress & ur imminent departure in Oct. Well done!!!!

Have read many of ur invaluable posts (thanx++++++++) over the past few months & cant seem to wrap my head around ur ability to sit for ur NPTE as well as ur CLEP's at the same time. Isn't PT education equivalency thru' the FCCPT a prerequisite to being able to sit for ur NPTE?????

Thanks for the contact: J Edmunds Associates. Will certainly mention u by name.

Any possibility of getting ur email address? If not, no problem.

Thanx again!!!!

Your welcome and thanks. Seriously, Tiffany has been a massive help and she speaks with physios from UK and Ireland, helps them get over to sit the exam but knows a lot about how everything works. I couldn't be where I am without her advice to be honest.

Youre right but basically the new York state dept accepted the initial eval from the fccpt with just two extra cleps I had done, 12 credits...I was 50 short on general ed! So I was approved to sit the npte via NY...I still had to top up credits with fccpt to get type 1 cert but I did all of that and studied for the npte which I passed after doing the cleps etc...its a long road but anyone can do it.
