HPAT Courses
HPAT and its purpose
The purpose of HPAT is to assess the skills and abilities developed over the course of your education and life experience that are considered by the universities to be important to the study and practice of medicine and the health sciences. To operate most effectively in these career areas graduates will need to be flexible; to have good thinking skills (critical and analytical); to be able to respond quickly to new situations and problems; to have a well-developed ability to understand and respond to patients’ needs and individual situations. For these reasons, HPAT has been developed as a test that is not based on learned academic curriculum or study of particular subjects, but as a test of your response to a stimulus that will not necessarily be familiar.
How can NIE help you prepare for THE HPAT
Established in 1999, the National Institute of Education (NIE) conducts HPAT Preparation course aimed at developing the knowledge, skills, and strategies required to maximise your entry potential. NIE was the first provider to be a Government Registered Training Organisation. Our teachers are fully qualified, experienced and committed to the standards of excellence in education and teaching. NIE is supported by expert staff and advisors including teachers accredited by the Department of Education and Training, a range of Health Care Professionals, Social Workers, Academics and Practicing Clinicians. All our HPAT teaching staff has an academic background directly relevant to the three respective sections of the HPAT.
Our unique approach…
Researching, teaching and reviewing our HPAT prep programs over the past fifteen years has put us at the forefront of HPAT preparation tuition. Students are treated as individuals, with a level of respect deserved by such high achievers, and the approach of our staff is to nurture their progress through a balanced program of self-directed learning and tuition. The NIE HPAT course is specifically designed to maximise a student’s preparation time without detracting from their other studies. Core to our preparation are the hardcopy books that fully replicate the true HPAT. No online training can come close to this.
