The Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) reviews evidence of training progression against curriculum milestones.  All trainees need to register on the ISCP website to access the portfolio. Once access has been gained, trainees will then use ISCP to create global objectives and learning agreements, to coordinate assessments and collect evidence .  Please contact the help desk for queries relating to the ISCP website.
