The other element of Professional Review is the relevant exam.
The interview tests your ability and ensures that you have satisfied all the core objectives within your Initial Professional Development (IPD).
You may attempt the interview before or after the exam, depending on what suits you best.
The interview normally lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. This includes around 10 minutes for you to make a presentation that explains how you have met your IPD objectives.
Reviewers will try to help you by asking appropriate questions, but it's essential that you can demonstrate how you have achieved all of your core objectives.
Please note that for 2021 all interviews will be conducted online, your Regional Group will contact you to advise you of their preferred digital platform (e.g. Microsoft Teams or Zoom).
You'll need to click on the Apply Now button and have ready the following documents:
