Certification
As from 1 October 2005, the RCGP and the PMETB have issued new guidelines
on the registration and application process for doctors applying for a
Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) or for an assessment of their
training. The PMETB offers two routes to certification.
For further information please see:

PMETB
Please also note the following changes:
COGPED video results should now be with the GP Registrars 6 weeks from the
date of submission (previously 8 weeks after submission)
The trainer's report can be accepted 6 weeks before final date of
completion.
A VTR/1 form can be signed and submitted six weeks before the final day of
training in that post but no earlier than this.
N.B. Doctors must be in receipt of their certificate and on the
Performers' List of their Primary Care Organisation before starting work
in general practice in any capacity. If an application for a certificate
is pending, employment must be deferred until the certificate is issued.
