[bomberkid]

currenly 31 years old. past 7-8 years working in the financial sector. anyone has done this for mid career switching and care to shed some light? main reason for me wanting to switch is 1. interest in health, and also 2. stability. but i need to hear from more people who gone through it haha

What do you want to know?

There are still no graduates from the course yet. The first class to graduate will be later this year.

I have apply for PCP physiotherapy 2x in previous years but didn’t got call up for interview. In my mid 30s n had a degree in psychology. Had work 15years.

But I try to apply for it this year again n really hope to get it!

I am also keen to understand more about the PCP career switch. But the threads for mid career switch seem quite quiet.

What would you want to know???

The info in WSG website is pretty comprehensive.

For your cohort, what is the (1) gender ratio and (2) age profile of the successful mid-career switch students in PT? So far, most of the enquiry threads in this forum are raised by the mid-thirties age group, whereas the PCP ad featured those in forties.

Do you happen to know which industry were the successful mid-career switch students in, before joining SIT?

Gender ratio would be around 50:50 for PCP. But for the whole course, there are more females than males, about 70:30.

Age range from mid 20's to late 40's. Most are within the mid 30's.

Previous career, is a big range. All those that I know, do not have any medical related background from IT to Insurance agent to Administer to Mechanical or Electrical Engineer to Sales. Even a guy who was an Administrative staff from SIT itself.

However those who are in the accelerated PT course, they do have some sort of bio or medical background.

Hope it helps.

Does it require a GCE O Level English or IELTS band 7.0 and above ? I only had GCE N level and a diploma holder with a experience in Fitness Training and do some volunteering work that relates to physiotherapy and other allied healthcare professions.
