UK approved course

This section contains information about applying for registration with the HPC for applicants who hold an approved qualification.

Completing an approved course does not guarantee someone will become registered. It shows us the applicant meets our professional standards and is eligible to apply for registration. We need additional information from them in order to be able to register them.

The information provided by applicants helps us to know that:

• they are who they say they are;
• they meet our standards; and
• we can contact them if we need to.

Important information regarding fee changes
Following a consultation, we have made changes to the level of our registration and scrutiny fees.

These changes, which are detailed below will take effect from 1 April 2009.

• We will set the renewal fee at £76 per year.
• Applicants who have completed an approved course will pay a non-refundable scrutiny fee of £53. The cost of registration for this group will be £38 per year for the first two years as long as the application is made within two years of the date of qualification.
• We will charge a readmission fee of £191, which will include the first year (or part year) of registration.
• We will continue not to charge a readmission fee if we receive an application for readmission within one month of a registrant lapsing from the Register.
• We will charge a fee of £191, including the first year of registration, for applicants applying for restoration.
• We will set the international/EEA scrutiny fee at £420.
• We will set the grandparenting scrutiny fee at £420.
