Success Stories

I still can't believe I have passed the exam of dental practice in Australia. Thanks to the AHPRA-registered faculty and program manager who was always there by my side. The live classes, recorded sessions, mock tests, and community suppor ton Discord helped me understand that ADC is not about memorising difficult concepts. It is about thinking like a general dentist, practicing in Australia. I had to pause my preparation due to personal reasons, but the support and flexibility helped me restart and stay focused. With consistent effort and the right strategy, I cleared the ADC Written Exam on my first attempt and moved one step closer to my dream of practising dentistry in Australia.

Dr. Marlyn Borgesi

ADC Qualified Student

Preparing for the DHA Exam while working at a dental clinic was challenging, but having the right structure made the journey possible. I managed my clinic hours along with recorded lectures, live sessions by DHA-qualified faculty, revision, and regular practice tests. The 1:1 mentorship and doubt-solving support helped me focus on the right topics instead of feeling overwhelmed. In the final days, I dedicated my time completely to revision and mock tests. Clearing the DHA Exam proved to me that with consistency, proper guidance, and a clear goal, it is possible to build an international dental career while managing your professional commitments.

Dr. Anushree

DHA Qualified Student

Preparing for OPRA while managing my family, children, and a business was not easy. There were days when finding time to study felt impossible, but I knew becoming a registered pharmacist in Australia was worth the effort. Academically gave me the structure, guidance, and confidence I needed. The live classes by OPRA and qualified faculty, notes, mock tests, and constant support from programme managers helped me stay focused. My final month of preparation was intense, but seeing the result made every sacrifice worth it. If you stay consistent and believe in yourself, OPRA is achievable.

Bushra

OPRA Qualified Student

After completing my pharmacy education, I started my career in QA and QC in India, earning around ₹16,000 per month despite long working hours. I wanted better growth, so I moved into retail pharmacy and spent four years building my skills, patient counselling experience, and confidence. I prepared for the DHA exam while working and successfully cleared it in November 2025. Today, I work as a licensed pharmacist near Burj Khalifa, Dubai. All thanks to Academically's coaching supported by DHA-qualified faculty, mock tests, support by programme managers and incredible community support on Discord.

Anisha

DHA Qualified Student

Moving to Australia and restarting my pharmacy career was challenging, but I knew I wanted to continue growing as a pharmacist. I started with a pharmacy assistant role, learning the Australian healthcare system step by step while preparing for the OPRA exam. Academically gave me the right guidance by AHPRA-registered faculty, structure, and confidence throughout my preparation journey. The recorded classes, revision materials, and AI based mock tests helped me stay consistent even while managing my studies and work. Clearing OPRA showed me that with the right approach and dedication, your global pharmacy dream is achievable.

Megha

OPRA Qualified Student

After working as a pharmacist in Oman for 16 years, returning to studies after such a long gap felt challenging. The OPRA Exam was a completely new experience for me, but Academically gave me the right guidance, resources, and confidence to prepare effectively. The lectures by OPRA qualified faculty, PDF notes, AI-based mock tests, and Grand Tests helped me understand what to focus on. In the final month, I studied consistently for 6–7 hours daily while managing my responsibilities. Clearing OPRA proved that age or years away from academics do not matter when you have the right mindset and preparation strategy. If I can do it, anyone can.

Nijeesh

OPRA Qualified Student

I completed my B.Pharm from RIMT University, Punjab, and gained experience in hospital and retail pharmacy roles in India. To pursue my international career goals, I prepared for the NPQE/Qatar Prometric Exam. With Academically’s live classes, recordings, study material, and mock tests, I cleared the exam on my first attempt. Stay consistent—success comes with focused preparation.

Zeeshan

NPQE/Qatar Prometric Qualified Student

After completing my MBBS, DCH, and DNB, I believed my career would remain purely clinical. Although I loved patient care, long working hours and limited work-life balance made me seek better growth and stability. Academically’s Executive Programme in Clinical Drug Development introduced me to non-clinical opportunities. With expert-led sessions and interview preparation, I cleared my first non-clinical interview and received multiple offers.

Dr. Lakshmi

Drug Safety Physicians - Tata Consultancy Services, 32 LPA

After completing my MBBS from a government medical college, I worked as a physician and believed clinical practice was my only career path. However, long hours, family responsibilities, and limited growth made me explore new options. Through Academically’s Executive Programme in Clinical Drug Development, I discovered non-clinical opportunities. With structured learning, LinkedIn guidance, and interview preparation, I transitioned successfully and secured a role at Accenture with ₹21 LPA.

Dr. Shruti Wagh

Pharmacovigilance Services Specialist - Accenture, 21 LPA

After completing my BDS, I was excited to begin my career, but the reality of low-paying dental jobs made me rethink my path. I discovered Academically on Instagram and joined the Executive Programme in Clinical Drug Development. The course improved my industry knowledge, communication, and interview skills. Within two weeks, I received multiple interview calls and secured job offers, including one worth ₹6.5 LPA.

Dr. Oshi Goswami

Pristyn Research - 6.5 LPA Offer

After completing my MBBS from Shihezi University, China, I spent eight years learning Mandarin and adapting to a new environment. I ranked third in my batch and earned a Certificate of Merit. After facing challenges with FMGE and AMC, I discovered Academically and joined the Executive Programme in Medical Affairs. With mentorship, training, and communication support, I gained confidence and secured a role at Bajaj General Insurance with ₹13 LPA.

Dr. Saif

Assistant Manager of injury claims, Bajaj General, 13 LPA

After completing my MBBS and rural posting, I realised I wanted to explore research beyond clinical practice. Coming from a medical family, choosing a non-traditional path was not easy. Academically’s Executive Programme in Clinical Drug Development helped me learn clinical research, pharmacovigilance, ICSR, signal detection, and MedDRA coding. With strong interview preparation, I confidently transitioned into a non-clinical role at Accenture with ₹17 LPA.
