Acceleration of CCT date

Accelerated progression of specialty medical training and bringing forward a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) date

While postgraduate GMC approved specialty curricula have indicative durations, some Postgraduate Doctors in Training (PgDiTs) may progress to completion in a shorter time than indicated, due to the earlier acquisition of capabilities than is normally expected.

If a trainee does not agree with the ARCP panel decision not to allow acceleration of training they can request a review by contacting their deanery administrator.
