GMC Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT)

You will complete a minimum of three years full time (or equivalent part time) of approved clinical training. This may be longer if you are accepted onto an academic programme or complete extended ITP opportunties.

The GMC Certificate of Completion of Training confirms satisfactory completion of a UK programme of training and is one of the certificates which legally permit its holder to work in NHS general practice. Applicants must be in receipt of their certificate and on the Performers' List of their local NHS area team before starting work in general practice in any capacity. If an application for a certificate is pending, employment must be deferred until the certificate is issued.

The CCT confirms satisfactory completion of an approved programme of training and is one of the certificates which allows entry to the GMC Specialist or GP Registers Certificate of Completion of Training

Bringing Forward CCT

What does “bringing forward CCT” mean? GP training is capability-based, not time-based. If the resident doctor achieves all required competencies and assessments earlier than planned, they may be eligible to bring their Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) date forward. This process is carefully managed to ensure patient safety, professional readiness and fairness.
