Transition Arrangements
The new AiT packages are designed for those
sitting the nMRCGP assessments, and in particular the
Workplace-Based Assessment (the packages include the e-Portfolio
required for the WPBA component of the nMRCGP).
If you are sitting the old MRCGP exam
Trainees completing Summative Assessment and
sitting the old MRCGP exam can still join the College as Associates
in Training. Those who are appling for a Certificate of Completion
of Training can register with the College’s Certification Unit for
£350, which includes up to 3 years free AiT membership. Trainees
who are applying for a Certificate confirming Eligibility for
General Practice Registration (under Article 11), can also join as
an AiT on the
Article 11 GP Registrar rate.
If you are sitting the AKT or CSA
component of the nMRCGP, but not the WPBA
Trainees not sitting the WBPA component of the
nMRCGP, as above, would register with the College under the old
system. For CCT applicants, this would involve registering with the
College’s Certification Unit for £350, which includes up to 3 years
free AiT membership. Trainees applying for a Certificate confirming
Eligibility for General Practice Registration (under Article 11),
can join on the
Article 11 GP Registrar rate.
If you are sitting the nMRCGP,
including the WPBA
You should register on one of the
new packages.
Existing Associates in
Training
If you are sitting a component of the nMRCGP
(WPBA, AKT or CSA) and have already registered with the College,
you can upgrade your package to provide us with the details
required for the assessments. For those sitting the WPBA, these
details will be used to create your ePortfolio. From August, simply
choose the ‘Upgrade for Existing AiT’ option on the registration
page. There is no additional cost for this registration and as an
AiT you will be eligible for a 10% discount on the AKT and CSA
components of the assessment.
Benefits
Please note, if you have registered with the
College for £350, the AiT package you are on will include most but
not all of the benefits listed in the new package. Specifically,
hard copy subscriptions to the British Journal of General
Practice, the new AiT journal based on the Curriculum and
access to nPEP are additional items which you can subscribe to, but
would need to pay an additional sum to receive. Please contact the
Membership Support team if you
would like to subscribe to receive any of these additional
items.
