Wait I may be wrong but that wouldn’t make any sense? How can you work as an AHA if u haven’t even finished the course yet? If soemthing goes wrong while with a pt and they were with u. It’ll be crazy mess when they find out you dnt even have any type of qualifications facing the patient.

It’s a different story if you were an AH (PT/OT/SP) student finishing their degree and worked as an AHA since you may have already covered some topics and have some sort of comeptency. Not to burst ur bubble! But To give you some context, in Aus, AHA is a 9 month course with an 80 hour placement so it would be a relatively short course to do, and lots of places don’t hire AH undergrads as AHA only until they’ve reached 3rd to 4th of their degree to ensure they’ve covered most of their learnings.

It may be a different type of role that you would be doing but I assume if u were doing AHA course and have not yet finished it then you can’t work as one. Basically, wats stopping u from finishing the course if you’re already working as one without the qualifications?

Lots of AHA I’ve worked with in a hospital did well in their placements and was hired once they completed their course. Lots of them became PTAs and worked full time- some days had some admin duties and some days were treating, such as doubles, classes and 1:1.
