Programme Introduction
About this programme
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.
CAOP is the competency assessment used by the Australian Pharmacy Council to determine whether overseas-trained pharmacists possess the clinical knowledge, professional judgement, and patient-care competencies required for Australian pharmacy practice.
TerraLeap's CAOP Preparation Program aligns with the latest CAOP assessment blueprint — combining structured learning across pharmacotherapy, calculations, clinical case studies, and the real-world practice scenarios the exam emphasises.
