What is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

In 2017, the College introduced a pilot scheme where applicants who have previously completed basic specialist training in a different speciality can receive up to one year's training credit.

The RPL will be available again in 2018, and will be aimed at those who have or are about to finish Basic Specialist training in Medicine. Candidates will be given the opportunity to apply for a year's credit and will go directly into 2nd year of training. A bespoke teaching plan will be developed to address the educational needs of each successful RPL candidate.
