I believe that has been resolved in court as you can see on the Ronin Website..... HPCSA realised that they are not the only ones governing Patient Care but that the Maritime Legislation also allows, in fact STIPULATES, that students "practise in SA"

Not directly as I understand it - you have to go via the International Equivalency Route. The question one has to ask though - how many of the people that passed the Ronin Para Course did NOT get HPC registration going via the International Equivalency Route? I believe none.... And what happens in the International Equivalency Route - HPC compares YOUR qualification (done at Ronin) to the UK Qualification and Outcomes. Now if Ronin issues you with an Edexcel UK Paramedic Certificate (having fulfilled all the UK Outcomes incl. Module J) - HPC has to compare THAT certificate with the one that people get having done a UK course - guess what? It is the same! Just my ten cents :-)
