“I am happy to say that I passed my Qualifying Exam last January. Did ACP give me confidence during my exam? Yes. But also by answering the theoretical and practical questions with all that I have learned from the course. The module/ course taught us about the trends of Physiotherapy here in Singapore, what was expected from us as a practicing Physiotherapist, as well as things we should already know – from therapeutic interventions, to evidence-based outcome measures and a quick but thorough PT assessment with an idea of the appropriate treatments.”
Ms Kissnette R. Sacro A past participant of the ACP programme, who went on to pass the QE after the course and is currently working in Singapore as a physiotherapist
