TESTIMONIALS
What Our Students Say
I am a graduate student from University College Dublin, Ireland. I am so thankful that I was recommended this course from my friend who took it.
I don’t think I could of passed the exam without this course! Everyone is so helpful and really wants you do to well. They are so supportive and check up on you if you have any questions or concerns. I also made some amazing friends along the way to study with! I would highly recommend this course to anyone studying for the practical.
It is 100% worth every penny! Thank you once again!!

The three Physiotherapists that run this course (Kash, Quincy, and Dom) are great people, and great instructors who cover the key concepts of the Practical Canadian Physiotherapy Competency exam in a handful of classes, but I feel I learned more from these guys than from my university program. Everything you could possibly need to prepare for the PCE is covered in this course.
If you ever have a question outside of class, do not fear, Kash Dom or Quincy will respond very quickly and with great answers. The course book is solid, and lots of hard work went into developing it.
I could not imagine doing the PCE and not having taken this course beforehand.
