ACP Written

[Asysin2leads]

Hey all, long time no see. I'm happy to report I finally made the move and I'm here in beautiful British Columbia, and was able to get my paperwork through to sit for the Advance Care Paramedic exam. I've been hunkered down and studying pretty much everything for a while, and I even took an EMR course to get a feel for how things are done, but I'd really like to know from someone who's taken it fairly recently what kind of questions will be on it and what I can expect. I hope everyone is doing well, I see some regulars are still around.

The exam is wrote memory work .. chronological order and sequence is important to BCAS .

Got a query .. if you are registered / licensed in any jurisdiction in Canada as an ACP, you should have only have had only need to write the jurisprudence exam.

Way fewer regulations and acts to study than in Alberta .. good luck.

Actually tniugs I'm an international applicant and had to go through a pretty lenghty process just to get my training recognized. I'm happy to take the tests though, preparing for them has given me a great introduction into how things are done North of the border.

Good luck on your test

Welcome to BC and you never know once you pass your exam and start working for BCAS I might see you on car when I go full time in Vancouver in a couple years!

I work for BCAS out of Nanaimo right now along with a few ALS paramedics but I don't think any of them are on this site. I will ask next time I am at work and talk to a couple of friends that work on the ALS cars in Victoria and see if I can get any tips for you.
