Becoming a licensed pharmacist in Australia is a highly rewarding journey, but it can also be challenging. To make this process smoother, the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) provides a rigorous examination known as the Overseas Pharmacist Recognition Exam (OPRA). For international pharmacy graduates, passing the OPRA is a critical step in gaining recognition and working as a pharmacist in Australia.

At New PETC, we understand the importance of comprehensive preparation for the OPRA. That’s why we offer an EE Preparation Course, tailored specifically to help candidates succeed in this exam. In this blog post, we’ll explore what the OPRA is, why it’s important, and how New PETC’s EE Preparation Course can help you achieve your goals.

What is the Australian Pharmacy Council OPRA?

The OPRA (Overseas Pharmacist Recognition Exam) is designed by the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) to assess the competency of overseas-trained pharmacists. If you're an internationally educated pharmacist wishing to practice in Australia, you need to pass this exam to prove your knowledge of Australian pharmacy practice and regulations.

The exam is divided into two main parts: the written and the oral. The written component evaluates your understanding of clinical pharmacy practice, while the oral component assesses your ability to communicate effectively in real-life pharmacy settings. The OPRA exam is a critical hurdle in ensuring that pharmacists practicing in Australia meet the highest standards of care and expertise.

Why Is EE Preparation Essential for OPRA?

Preparation for the OPRA is essential, as the exam is comprehensive and requires in-depth knowledge of various aspects of pharmacy practice. Many international pharmacy graduates find the exam challenging, especially when it comes to understanding Australian healthcare policies, laws, and patient care standards.

New PETC’s EE Preparation Course is specifically designed to help you tackle the complexities of the OPRA exam with confidence. Here’s how our EE Preparation Course can make a difference:
