However, the class is painfully easy, and offered over the summer at AUT, so perhaps one option is to look into taking the course here? Most if not all of the District Health Boards offer similar (required) classes for their employees, so that's another possibility . . . you might also consider calling someone at the Physio Board and just asking - I'm guessing that if they require you to take a class, they will have the details worked out - after all, it will be unique to NZ and so they will probably have provisions. Sorry if that's not very specific, but hopefully it gives you a start!
