Process overview
This is the process for applicants who trained outside the UK.
Step 1: Assessment of non-UK qualification
The GOsC will assess your training and experience to ensure they are equivalent to the UK standards, the Osteopathic Practice Standards. To do this we will need the information about your training, qualifications and experience. The documents you send us will be assessed by two qualified osteopaths who are also trained as registration assessors. There is a fee of £690 for this assessment.
Step 2: Further Evidence of Practice
After you have completed Step 1 we will send you a link to the Further Evidence of Practice form to complete. This asks about your practice and experience and you will need to include case histories. There is a fee of £690 for the Further Evidence of Practice.
Step 3: Assessment of Clinical Performance
The next step is for your clinical skills to be observed during an Assessment of Clinical Performance (ACP). This practical examination takes place in the UK and involves real patients in a clinic setting. The fee for this is £910 and if you pass the ACP you may apply for registration.
Step 4: Completion of registration application forms
We will then send you an application pack and you need to send us all of the following:
- a completed registration application form
- a health reference
- a character reference
- a criminal record check from your country of residence
- the entry fee
