Plan: preparation for the journeyman's test

How to make a realistic plan for the final months

The journeyman's exam tests both theory and practice. Use this plan as a template for how you can structure your preparation in good time instead of gathering it all at the last minute.

§Three months before

  • 01Make a list of bandage companies and orthopaedic firms you want to contact.
  • 02Arrange with your master which tasks you can get more practice in before the test.
  • 03Start repeating the theory in small chunks rather than waiting to read it all at once.

§One month before

  • 01Practice the practical techniques you expect to be tested on — cleaning, inspection, troubleshooting.
  • 02Review the rules on mandatory cleaning, fire prevention inspection and occupational health.
  • 03Check your tools and equipment so you know what you need on the day

§The week before.

  • 01Make a short list of backup gear if something fails
  • 02Make sure that you are well rested rather than reading all night.
  • 03Talk with other students or your master about what the exam typically emphasizes.
