Overview

Providing you with comprehensive guidance, the APC Prep Day will take you step-by-step through each stage of your Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). Delivered by our expert trainers who are APC Assessors and Mentors, this course has a unique mix of informative sessions and pathway-based workshops, equipping you with the skills and knowledge needed to demonstrate practical training and experience.

Covering each key assessment requirement and offering a valuable chance to seek out advice, the day will provide vital opportunities to develop improved understanding of the APC process: including a live mock interview and opportunities to submit questions or network with delegates and our expert trainers. You’ll also hear from a recently passed candidate sharing their experience of the APC process and how they prepared for the final assessment.
