What is the Pharmacist Oral Exam?

The oral exam is the final hurdle toward becoming a registered pharmacist in Australia. It assesses your clinical knowledge, communication skills, and ability to provide safe and effective patient care.

Common Hurdles for Self-Study Candidates

Becoming a licensed pharmacist in Australia is a rewarding journey, but there are challenges for self-directed learners:

With comprehensive study materials, expert mentorship, and targeted practice sessions, our course ensures you are fully prepared to take the next step toward general registration as a pharmacist in Australia.

  • Exam Techniques: The oral format requires specific communication and critical thinking skills. Without proper practice, mastering these techniques under exam conditions can be difficult.
  • Knowledge Gaps: The KAPS exam covers a wide range of topics. Without expert guidance, identifying and addressing knowledge gaps can be challenging.
