  • The applicant must have successfully completed the written component of the PCE and be registered for the next available clinical component of the PCE.
  • The applicant must not have failed the clinical component of the exam previously.
  • If the applicant intends to provide patient care, he or she must hold professional liability insurance that meets the requirements laid out in the College By-laws.

Terms, Conditions and Limitations

  • That the Provisional Practice certificate holder must only practise physiotherapy under the monitoring of an Independent Practice certificate holder.
  • That the Provisional Practice certificate is time-limited and will expire. If the applicant is successful in the clinical component of the PCE he or she must, within twelve weeks of completing the exam, apply for an Independent Practice certificate.
