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.

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.

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.
