GP Training

 

The MRCGP is the College's own training scheme, and is an essential step on the path to becoming a registered GP. Find out about our examination and certification processes, plus career advice, a Student Forum and much more.

 

Please Note:

 

Our training services are for UK-based GPs only. GPs based abroad can take the RCGP's internationally recognised postgraduate qualification - MRCGP[INT].
