In this section please provide us with details of your relevant education or training
This includes the degree, diploma, or other qualification which first enabled you to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom.
Confirming the qualification which first enabled you to practise
We ask you to identify one qualification which, upon completion, first enabled you to practise. We understand you may have completed more than one qualification prior to starting your practice, and if this is the case, select the last qualification you completed.
You must provide a certified copy of your professional qualification certificate and, where appropriate, a certified copy of an official English translation.
You may also include details of any additional qualifications which you consider relevant to your application in this section. You do not need to provide details of your general (school) education unless it is directly relevant to your practise as a health and care professional.
Qualification and Education Institution details
You will need to detail the name of the qualification and the education institution which delivered your qualification. Please also include address details for the main site of the education institution where your learning took place. You can also provide details of the awarding body for the qualification, if this is different to the education institution that delivered it.
Contact details for the Course Administrator
You will be asked to provide us with the name, job title and official email address of an individual at that organisation who is able to confirm the information you have given.
We cannot accept unofficial or personal email addresses for referees.
The email address you provide must use the official domain of the organisation, rather than an unofficial domain such as Gmail or Hotmail. If the organisation has no official web domain, we need to see that it is clearly linked to the organisation and independently verify this. For example, this would be verifiable if a Gmail address is given on a website owned by your workplace, which we can access.
If we are unable to validate the email address, we’ll contact you to let you know and request alternative contact details to complete our verification check.
Course information form
Your application should also include a course information form which has been completed and certified by your university or training institution.
The course information form needs to be:
- downloaded from our HCPC website;
- sent to your university or training institution for completion; and
- uploaded to your online application as one document.
Making sure your form includes all necessary details and certification as listed above is crucial to avoid any delays in your application process.
