Your video was so helpful. I am a speech and language therapist and unfortunately I couldn’t find any relevant video about my field 😢 However I know that the procedure is pretty much the same for all the regulated professions. Can I ask if you had a registration offer or still waiting for the HCPC decision?
Thank you for reaching out. I'm pleased to hear you found my video helpful even though it wasn't specific to speech and language therapy. You're right that the registration process is quite similar across regulated professions.
Regarding my own registration status, I do have my HCPC PIN now. I went through the application process and received my PIN . The process went smoothly overall, though of course there were some anxious moments waiting to hear back at each stage!
I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have about the registration process from my own experience. I'm glad there are dedicated professionals like yourself joining the field. Feel free to reach out if you need any advice or reassurance along the way. The end goal of registration is so worthwhile. Wishing you all the best!
Hi,
I'm speech language pathologist as well.
I'm also planning to apply for hcpc registration. How can I connect with you?
Thank you for this information. I am a nurse, is there any chance for nurses through the hcpc pathway?
(HCPC) is a regulatory body that maintains a register of health and care professionals who meet their standards for training, professional skills, behaviour, and health¹. However, it's important to note that **nurses** are regulated by the **Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)** in the UK, not the HCPC³.
If you're a nurse looking to practice in the UK, you would need to register with the NMC. The NMC has its own set of requirements for registration, including proof of qualifications, identity, and English language proficiency.
Good information.
How do you get your proof of identity and proof of address certified?
Do you make a copy and get someone to endorse or make the declaration (written or typed)??
Thank you.
Great question! Getting your proof of identity and address documents certified for the HCPC application can seem confusing.
The key is that you need to submit copies of your original documents, and have someone officially confirm in writing that the copies match the originals. Here are the steps:
Make photocopies of your original proof of ID (like a passport or driver's license) and proof of address (like a utility bill or bank statement).
Take the original documents and photocopies to someone who can certify them - this is often a solicitor, accountant, pharmacist, or notary public.
The certifier will check the originals against the photocopies to verify they match.
On each copied document, the certifier needs to write "I certify this is a true copy of the original document seen by me." They sign and date it.
Submit the certified copies (with the certifier's declaration on them) with your HCPC application. Do not send the originals.
This proves to the HCPC that your identity and address documents are legitimate.
Can the documents be certified at police station,?
Hi! Hope you are doing well. Can I ask about the work experience section that if you have a work gap basically you stop working atleast years.. do I have to put in the section or where do I put the details?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
In the HCPC registration form, you should provide details about your professional experience in chronological order, with your most recent experience first1. If there are significant gaps (of six months or more) in your career history, you should explain these in the same section1.
You should provide as much detail as possible to help HCPC determine whether you meet their standards of proficiency1. You can also upload any supporting professional experience documents in this section1.
Remember, it’s crucial to provide all necessary details to avoid any delays in your application process1.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

In the language place, only ilets or certificate of proficiency from my school is allowed ?
For HCPC registration, if English is not your first language, you must provide proof of your English language proficiency. The HCPC accepts the following English language tests¹²:
- **International English Language Testing System (IELTS)**: Minimum score of 7.0 with no element below 6.5 for all professions except speech and language therapists. For speech and language therapists, the minimum score is 8.0 with no element below 7.5¹².
- **Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Internet Based Test (IBT)**: Minimum score of 100/120 for all professions except speech and language therapists. For speech and language therapists, the minimum score is 118/120¹².
Please note that the HCPC accepts both the IELTS Academic and IELTS General tests, and both UKVI and non-UKVI versions of the test². Any test certificate submitted must be no more than two years old when HCPC receives your application¹².
If you propose to rely upon a test score that is not listed, it will be your responsibility to provide evidence that it is comparable to the requisite IELTS levels¹².
Having studied English or undertaken education or training at an institution where the medium of instruction is English does not necessarily mean that English is your first language¹.
Please note that these are general guidelines and the specific requirements may vary. It's always best to check with the HCPC directly for the most accurate information.

For my certificate of completion for my internship issued by the university, can I upload it in section 2 as (qualification) together with my university diploma?
Yes, you can upload your certificate of completion for your internship along with your university diploma in the qualification section. However, please ensure that these are certified copies of the original documents.
The person certifying the document should write on the copy with the following:
- The statement "I certify that this is a true copy of the original document seen by me"
- Their signature and the date
- Their name, professional title, and their contact telephone number or email address²
The certification must be hand-written on the photocopy or printed copy of the original document. The certification must not be written on a separate piece of paper and scanned alongside the original document².
Please note that all documents must be correctly certified by a person of standing in the community².

Great job for making such a guidance video. I have a doubt I have 4 yrs of experience as an Embryologist in India after this I came UK in study visa I am pursuing my masters in Aberdeen University so I am eligible for HCPC ?
It's wonderful that you have 4 years of experience as an Embryologist in India. Since you are currently pursuing your masters degree in the UK on a student visa, you may be eligible to apply for HCPC registration, but there are a few factors to consider:
The HCPC will evaluate your original embryology qualification and work experience in India to determine if it is equivalent to UK standards. Your prior training must meet their criteria.
Completing a masters program in the UK can help strengthen your application, but may not automatically make you eligible.
Your immigration status is important - being on a student visa may impact your ability to work and register in the UK after graduating.
My recommendation would be to thoroughly review the HCPC's requirements for international applicants and embryology qualifications. You can then determine if your background meets the criteria, or if you need to take any additional steps.
I'd also suggest reaching out to the HCPC directly to inquire about your specific situation and eligibility for registration after your masters program. They can best advise if you'll meet their requirements.
Good day can you please tell me something. My daughter has not pay her hpcsa money since she hot her graduation it's now for 3 years and she is not working. Do you still have to pay the hpcsa
If your daughter is not currently practicing, she may not need to pay the HCPC registration fee. However, it’s important to note that if she wishes to start practicing again, she would need to pay the registration fee to reactivate her registration1.
For new graduates, HCPC reduces the registration fee by 50 percent. The new graduate’s registration fee for a full two-year registration cycle is £116.36, which is £58.18 per year1. If a new graduate joins the Register less than six months before the start of the next professional year, they receive the remainder of the period free of charge1.
Please note that these are general guidelines and the specific requirements may vary. It’s always best to check with the HCPC directly for the most accurate information.

Do I need to get IBMS registered before proceeding with HCPC registration as a biomedical scientist?
Yes, to register as a biomedical scientist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), you must meet their Standards of Education and Training. This requires you to complete an IBMS Accredited biomedical science degree or apprenticeship (or HCPC approved Healthcare Science/Life Sciences degree) and successfully complete the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio in an IBMS approved training laboratory¹².
The IBMS Registration Training Portfolio is a professional qualification that demonstrates you meet HCPC Standards of Proficiency for registration as a biomedical scientist³. When successfully completed, and it has been verified by an IBMS verifier, you will be awarded an IBMS Certificate of Competence. The certificate demonstrates that you have met HCPC standards of proficiency and you can apply to be registered as a biomedical scientist²⁴⁵.
Please note that these are general guidelines and the specific requirements may vary. It's always best to check with the HCPC and IBMS directly for the most accurate information.

What happens if one don't have work experience?
Does it mean one can't get registered?
I have an ecctis certificate which I used my masters to evaluate. Will they accept Ecctis as proof of language?
I have PhD in Educational Psychology from a South African University and I intend to register with UK HCPC in order to apply for job
Here are the key HCPC registration requirements:
- Work experience is not mandatory. Meeting HCPC standards and having appropriate indemnity insurance are the primary requirements.
- Non-native English speakers must show English proficiency through exams like IELTS and TOEFL. Other test scores must prove equivalence.
- Those with a PhD in Educational Psychology can register as a Practitioner Psychologist after completing an approved program.
It's always best to verify requirements directly with the HCPC, as specifics can vary. The above serves as general guidelines.
my status today is application submitted - what's the next things to expect? Do i need to follow up my school, work place, registration to confirm if HCPC emailed them?
Here is a draft response for your channel:
After you’ve submitted your application for HCPC registration, here’s what you can expect:
1. Missing Details or Further Information: If your application is missing some details or HCPC needs further information, they will contact you by email to let you know, and they’ll tell you how to supply the information and/or updated documents.
2. Processing Your Application: After HCPC has received a complete application from you, your education provider will be asked to confirm your qualification. HCPC will begin processing your details once they have this confirmation. They aim to complete the processing within 10 working days.
3. Background Checks: HCPC will conduct background checks to verify the information you’ve provided. These may be undertaken by the HCPC, its agents, or their representatives.
4. Application Outcome: If your application is approved, you’ll receive an email confirming this. The email will also invite you to activate and set up your online account, through which you can pay your registration fee.
You do not need to follow up with your school, workplace, or registration to confirm if HCPC emailed them. HCPC will contact them directly if necessary. However, it might be a good idea to let them know to expect a communication from HCPC.
The university will be the one who will fill the course information form right?
yes, the university will be the one to fill out the course information form for the HCPC application.
The university has the details about your degree curriculum, courses studied, and clinical training that are required on the form. So they are responsible for completing and signing it, then providing you a copy to submit with your HCPC application.
You will upload the course information form along with your qualification certificates when entering your education history in the online application. Submitting the form verifies your educational qualifications and clinical training to the HCPC.
Hi before I received any email confirmation I should the fee am I right
you should pay the scrutiny fee right after submitting your HCPC application, before receiving any email confirmation.
The email confirmation will come after you submit your application and pay the fee. Paying the £539.65 scrutiny fee is what allows HCPC to start processing your application. So you need to pay this fee first, and then you will receive the confirmation email within 24 hours to confirm that your application is now being reviewed.
The confirmation email does not indicate if your application has been approved or rejected - it just confirms that HCPC received your completed application and fee payment, and will now begin to process and review your application.
So to summarize:
Submit HCPC application
Pay £539.65 scrutiny fee immediately after submitting
You will then receive confirmation email within 24 hours
Email confirms your application is now being processed
and dont forget to subscribe
Does the certificate need to be certified by another person to write a certfy that this is a true certified copy seen by me ...?
Yes, for HCPC registration, all uploads to the online form must be certified copies of the original documents. This means they are photocopies or scans of the originals, which are signed by someone who can verify this ('a person of standing in the community'). All signatures must be dated within the last six months. They must not be certified by the applicant¹.
The person certifying the document should write on the copy with the following:
- The statement "I certify that this is a true copy of the original document seen by me"
- Their signature and the date
- Their name, professional title, and their contact telephone number or email address¹
The certification must be hand-written on the photocopy or printed copy of the original document. The certification must not be written on a separate piece of paper and scanned alongside the original document¹.

How do I complete the course information form?
Thank you
Here are some tips for completing the course information form for the HCPC application:
The form should be filled out by your university, since they have the detailed information about your degree program curriculum, courses, and clinical training.
Contact the registrar's office or your program administrator to request they complete the HCPC course information form. Provide them a copy of the blank form.
The person filling it out on behalf of the university should include:
Your biographical details (name, date of birth, etc)
The degree name and dates you attended
A listing of all courses and clinical placements during your program
Information about your dissertation or final project if applicable
An official signature and stamp from the university
Review the completed form carefully before submitting to ensure all sections are filled out accurately and completely.
The form will need to be certified and verified as authentic by the university before you upload it to your HCPC application.
Be sure to request the form well in advance, since it does take time for the university to process and complete.
In my bank statement they has type my first two names as initials..Is it a issue..
For HCPC registration, the proof of address document you provide must show your full name and current address, which must match the name and address given on your application. If your bank statement has your first two names as initials, it might not be accepted as a valid proof of address.
However, these are general guidelines and the specific requirements may vary. It's always best to check with the HCPC directly for the most accurate information.

Can you provide me pdf of HCPC registration pdfs for ODP JOB
Unfortunately I do not have access to PDFs of the HCPC registration documents specifically for ODP roles. However, I can provide some general guidance on the HCPC registration process for operating department practitioners (ODPs) in the UK:
The HCPC is the regulatory body that oversees the registration process for ODPs. To practice as an ODP in the UK, you must be registered with the HCPC.
To apply for HCPC registration as an ODP, you'll need to complete the relevant application form and provide proof of your qualifications and training. This usually involves submitting certified copies of your diploma/degree certificates.
You'll also need to pay the registration fee, which is currently £120 for new registrants. The fee covers your registration for 2 years initially.
As part of the application, you'll need to meet certain HCPC standards around character, health, proficiency in English, professional indemnity insurance etc.
Once registered, you'll be issued a unique HCPC PIN which you must use in your professional practice. You'll need to renew your registration every 2 years to stay on the HCPC register.
The HCPC website has all the application forms and guidance notes you need. I'd recommend reviewing these carefully as you prepare your application:
