Hi Shweta it seems like you must have gone through the qualifying exam....I was curious to know what is the procedure to go through before you sit for the qualifying exam. As I am an indian physiotherapist holding master's degree from USA, I have been trying to apply for the jobs so that I can find some employer to sit for the exam. So far I did not receive any interview calls. I was wondering if you can guide me for the same.

I would really apperciate your help.

Hi,
Yes I have just taken the exam and passed. Basically what I had done is gone online and applied to all the private physiotherapy clinics and a lot of chiropractitioners and gyms which employ physiotherapists. I got 3 interview calls and still getting calls. Ofcourse I accepted one of the offers and that is how I got to sit for the exam.There are also a lot of places which do not need you to clear the licensing exam to work for them. And considering that you have done your PG from US you might not have to sit for the exam at all.Confirm that with NYP.I ofcourse did have an advantage that I was on a dependent's pass which allows you to have a job in Singapore, but I had to clear the exam coz I had studied in India.The exam is not a very easy one.

Hello,
thanks a lot shweta and congratulations for clearing the exams also. I think I did not mention that I am already in singapore on a dependent's pass and unfortunately i have checked with NYP people and they did not have my university in their listing. Therefore I need to find an employer to sponsore me to sit for the exam. I have tried applying many hospitals online. I still keep applying but I was curious to know is it possible to work as a physiotherapist without clearing the qualifying exam? and also were you working as a therapist or as an assistant before you passed your exam. And also any job boards that you could suggest me to apply online.

I appreciate your reply and it will be a great help to me.

I was not working before I passed the QE. But yes there r clinics which employ without the QE but they r mainly chiro clinics I think, who need a physio. I am not sure, but it is a good idea to clear the exam.Hospitals generally do not reply.Go online and apply to all the private clinics.R u Pilates certified coz that helps.

Hi Shweta,

Congratulations for passing the QE. I am also a physiotherapist from India. I am going to appear for QE in January. As I heard that It is not an easy exam and you have passed. I want some information regarding study materials to use for exam. Did you use any specific books and study materials or the list of books the have given on website is enough? And also about the system of the examination they use..

I will really appreciate your help. Thank you. Or you can reply on my email [email protected].. Waiting for your reply..Thanks
