How long does the registration process take?

We cannot guarantee a timeframe as all applications are assessed on an individual basis.

Delays are often experienced because referees do not submit a report. We advise you to contact your nominated referee(s) to ensure they are willing to support your application. The reference form will be sent to your nominated referee(s) via email, therefore, it is crucial that you provide their correct work email address.

There may also be delays if you submit incorrect documentation. Please read the information provided in the check list to reduce the chances of this happening.

Applications are dealt with in date order, however in some very limited and exceptional circumstances we may be able to prioritise an application for faster assessment, such as when registration must be confirmed before an applicant can accept a specific job offer. In this event, please contact us at registration@gtcs.org.uk to let us know and please include evidence of your offer of employment. We cannot guarantee any specific outcome or timescale however in these cases we would prioritise the application for assessment.
