Before enrolling, clarify the qualification, training format and intended professional outcome. A course’s marketing description is not evidence that it leads to registration.

Step by step: prepare your next action

Check the provider and qualification against current GDC information. Ask about placements, supervision, assessment, total charges and refund terms, and distinguish training from a paid qualified-professional vacancy.

Make your checklist useful

Record the specific role or pathway you are investigating, the official source and the date you checked it. Keep your qualification and employment dates consistent. Separate evidence you already hold from an application in progress or a result still awaiting verification. If an instruction is unclear, write the question down and obtain an answer before paying or submitting.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not reuse old fees, salaries, test thresholds or processing times as current promises. Do not exaggerate experience, professional status or eligibility. Keep identifiable patient information out of your CV and supporting statement. When reviewing a vacancy, use its current written terms rather than assuming benefits or employer support from a general article.
