The Competence Assessment of Overseas Pharmacists (CAOP) is the pathway used by the Pharmacy Council of New Zealand to assess internationally qualified pharmacists.

It is a structured internship period where candidates work under supervision to demonstrate competence.

You may work under supervision during the pathway, but full independent practice requires registration.

Typical documents include:

• Degree certificate and transcripts
• Proof of identity (passport)
• Professional registration proof
• Work experience evidence

The timeline varies depending on training, assessments, and individual progress.
