Introduction
The Competency Assessment of Overseas Pharmacists (CAOP) Exam is a crucial gateway for internationally qualified pharmacists seeking to practice safely and effectively in Australia. Designed by the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC), the CAOP exam evaluates whether overseas-trained pharmacists possess the clinical knowledge, professional judgement, and patient-care competencies required to transition into the Australian healthcare system.
Terraleap brings you a comprehensive, exam-focused preparation program that aligns with the latest CAOP assessment blueprint and real-world pharmacy practice standards. This course is built for serious aspirants who want structured learning, extensive practice, and a competitive edge.
What is the CAOP Exam?
The CAOP exam is an official assessment used by the APC to determine whether an overseas-qualified pharmacist has the foundational and practice-ready skills necessary for provisional registration in Australia. Clearing CAOP enables candidates to move forward to supervised practice and eventual full registration.
Why Is It Used?
The exam ensures that internationally educated pharmacists:
-
Meet Australian pharmacy competency standards
-
Can provide safe, evidence-based patient care
-
Demonstrate professional practice, communication, and decision-making abilities
-
Are competent in dispensing, counselling, clinical problem-solving, and medication management
It protects patient safety and supports pharmacists in integrating successfully into the Australian healthcare system.
