Key Facts

Assessment is based on attendance, course work, and clinical requirements and includes written work and skills development.

There is no formal written examination. Each student in training is considered as an individual on an individual journey. Students are assessed each year and progress from year to year only when they have met all the requirements to date, including the clinical requirements.

An external examiner is involved in the assessment for all years. We also operate an appeals procedure if necessary.
