PRA scheme process

Return to PRA scheme: Information for applicants

Text version

The text in the graphic above reads:

• Have you started working on your application for a professional registration?
• If yes, then submit a request for a PRA. Your request will be reviewed by a professional registration officer.
• If your query can be addressed by a professional registration officer, a PRA will not be required.
• If more information is required, a professional registration officer will provide support.
• If your request for a PRA is approved, the IOP will provide an introductory email to the PRA.
• The applicant should then organise the meeting with the PRA and send relevant documents in advance.
• The application should prepare for the meeting by going through the application and reviewing questions. They should also ensure they have read and understood the data protection disclaimer.
• After the meeting, the applicant should reflect on the PRA's advice and progress with the application.
• We also ask the applicant to reflect on the experience and complete a feedback form.
• For any outstanding questions or support, please contact the IOP.
• If you haven't started working on your application for professional registration, you should start your application or contact a professional registration officer for advice.
