Before I tell you all about this life-changing course, let’s talk about who this is really for:

You’re an overseas-trained physiotherapist who wants a reliable, complete training to ensure you pass the three Clinical Assessment components.

You’re sick of wasting time on techniques that don’t work and wasting money on courses that don’t give you certainty.

You want to focus your efforts on studying proven material that will ensure you pass your exam and receive your Final Certificate for General Registration with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia.

Whether you:

  • Are preparing to sit the Clinical Assessment exams for the first time and are worried about passing, after hearing about the high number of people who fail.

  • Have failed part or all of the Clinical Assessment in the past and need assurance that you’re in with your best chance to pass this time around.

  • Have just obtained your Interim Certificate, are preparing for the Written Assessment and want to improve your communication and patient skills.

You’re in the right place. Let me show you how the Australian Physio Course will give you the tools, confidence and support to pass your exams with minimal stress and maximum confidence.

In this course I’ll show you all the secrets that allowed me to pass all my exams with 97% marks – or higher.

By the end of this program, you will know:

  • The number one secret rule you MUST follow to pass the Clinical Assessment – which other courses just don’t teach.
  • The six fundamental must-do steps you will need to perform in the Simulation Lab to pass all three exams.
  • What not to do during your exams, to ensure you don’t lose crucial marks or be given an instant failure for a safety risk.
  • My unique comprehensive framework to base your performance on – no more endless searching for the right resources or courses, which often waste your time with irrelevant information.
  • How to feel confident about the skills you already have, while also clearly identifying what skills you need to improve and focus on.
  • What the examiners actually expect from you, based on direct feedback I personally received from the Australian Physiotherapy Council.
  • How best to use this clear framework as a base for your practical training sessions, ensuring the time you spend practicing alone or with other people before your exams is as effective as possible.
In just 3 weeks, you’ll move from feeling worried and stressed to having supreme confidence in a proven foundation that will help you succeed.

Plus: you’ll receive free cardiorespiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal exam bonus material, outlining recent case recalls for you to learn and practice with. I want to ensure you have all the resources you need to pass every exam and become a qualified physiotherapist in Australia.

How do I know all of this?

Carmelo Scavone
My name is Carmelo Scavone. I’m an Italian-trained physiotherapist who moved to Australia in 2016.
When I first sat for my musculoskeletal exam, I failed terribly, receiving an overall score of just 7%. A year later, I resat this exam – and scored a perfect 100%. What was different?

I had close connections with Australians who helped me understand the way exams are marked in this country – which is totally different to many other countries.

I managed to convince the examiners to give me feedback on why I failed the first time around – they don’t usually offer any kind of feedback to students.

I spoke to dozens of fellow students who had both passed and failed, and analysed the differences between each performance for more than 2 years.

What’s inside the course:

Module 01: Domains and performance indicators

Learn from someone who’s successfully done it before you, with a detailed overview of exactly what is expected of you during the Clinical Assessment. I’ll show you how to tick every box and fulfill the requirements effortlessly.

My step-by-step framework for writing a bulletproof guide for your performance inside the Simulation Lab. You’ll learn how to create the perfect companion to support you during each exam.

Discover how to impress your examiners from the very beginning of your exam and boost your own confidence with a flawless presentation – addressing all necessary topics while showcasing your professionality.

Your guide to performing the patient interview in under 10 minutes, ensuring you ask all the important questions and get straight to the point – without wasting precious time you will need later in the exam.

I’ll teach you how to structure your physical assessment to cover all the key topics your examiners will expect to see, in this fundamental part of your exam.

Wait, there’s no treatment module? Of course there is – but you’ll need to completely rethink your treatment strategies to be successful in your Clinical Assessment. This module will teach you why and how – using my secret rule, which other courses just don’t teach.

Now you know exactly what’s expected of you inside the Simulation Lab, it’s time to get practising. Learn how to effectively train by yourself or with fellow candidates, including the topics you need to cover and the manual skills you need to develop.

When you enroll during this special limited-time period, you’ll get…

The Australian Physio Course:

  • 7 detailed modules showing you literally everything you need to know and do to pass your Clinical Assessment with confidence and ease.
  • My ‘Cheat Sheet’ framework to guide your performance inside the Simulation Lab.
  • A complete explanation of what the examiners expect of you during the Clinical Assessment, and all the must-avoid mistakes.
  • A guide to further prepare yourself during practical training sessions, alone and with other candidates.

You’ll be given access to all seven modules at once, so you can complete this course as quickly or slowly as you need.

Plus, you’ll automatically get these five bonuses – to help you focus only on essential material for your preparation.

Yes, you can access the course while preparing for your clinical assessment from overseas. All training videos are pre-recorded for you to access at a time that best suits you.

There is no one set answer to this question because every APC student has their own unique circumstances and experiences. During the course, I will give you activities to practise after completing each module. It generally takes around 3 weeks to complete these basic assignments and thus understand the core framework you must use when preparing for your exams.

Then, it’s time to put the framework into practice. As a general rule, I recommend a minimum of 4 months total preparation for all your Clinical Assessments, as you will need to dedicate significant hours to preparing and practising for all the scenarios, using our APC methodology.

Yes, you’ll be given access to all seven modules at once, so you can complete this course as quickly or slowly as you need.

In this case, you’ll be eligible for a refund according to the Terms and Conditions.

Still thinking about it?

You should give the Australian Physio Course a shot (and don’t forget, you’re backed by my Money-Back Guarantee) if you’re:

Feeling lost and insecure about your preparation, wondering if you’re wasting your time reading so many different books, and are worried you’re training for scenarios that might not even be included in the Clinical Assessment.

This course will teach you to concentrate your energy only on the fundamental steps you must perform during the exam, allowing you to focus on your strengths as a physiotherapist.

You’ll feel confident during your preparation and unstoppable during the exam.

I’m so excited to walk beside you as you take your final steps to become an Australian-qualified physio.

My aim is to give candidates a calm and stress-free experience through the Clinical Assessment process – without all the worry, helplessness and failure that I personally experienced.

Nobody should have to give up on their career due to failing these exams, yet I’ve seen too many candidates suffer this fate. The long-term impact on their life and career is massive.

When I trained for these exams, the information out there was scarce and irrelevant. Over 2 long years, I collected information and experiences, then created this course to give back to the future generation of Australian physiotherapists.

I’ve been so lucky in my life and feel so grateful for all the help and time that fellow candidates and now-friends have given to me – physios from India, the Philippines, Nepal, Europe and elsewhere.

My word is my bond, I’ll be there with you when you succeed.

I look forward to meeting you inside the Australian Physio Course.
