Advanced Training Applications

Applications for Prospective Approval of Training 

All Advanced Trainees must prospectively register with the College on an annual basis to outline their proposed training for the year. From mid-January 2012, applications to join or continue Advanced Training Programs can be completed online. This process replaces the previous requirement to submit a paper-based Annual Application for Approval of Advanced Training, although the College will continue to accept these forms in 2012. 

Applications for Online Registration have now closed. Please use the paper-based applications.

Purpose and Overview

Applications for Approval of Training allow the overseeing training committee to advise the trainee whether the proposed educational activities, supervision arrangements and position are appropriate for the current stage of training and will assist the trainee to meet the curricula learning objectives.

Preparation for registration

To prepare for registration, the trainee should:
1. Familiarise themselves with the training requirements and curricula for the relevant training program
2. Identify suitable supervisor(s) for the upcoming period of training
3. Arrange a meeting with their supervisor(s) to: 
         a) discuss their new position's responsibilities, indicative weekly timetable and training activities (including project plans if applicable)
         b) sign the Statement of Training Responsibilities
         c) provide their new supervisor(s) with copies of past Supervisor Reports
         d) consider preparing a learning plan using the Learning Needs Analysis.

The Online Registration Process

Once the trainee has met with their new supervisors, they should initiate a new registration through the Online Registration system. Trainees can create as many registrations they require. Each registration can contain multiple rotations, but if unsure of all details of a rotation, the trainee should include that rotation in a separate registration.

When all details for the rotations within the registration have been finalised, the trainee submits the registration to their supervisor(s) for approval. Supervisor(s) immediately receive an automated email requesting that they log in to the Online Registration system to consider the rotations that they are assigned to. Supervisors either approve or return the registration to the trainee for further editing. The trainee is sent an automated email regarding this decision.

When all supervisors approve the registration, College staff process the registration and forward it to the overseeing training committee for consideration. The trainee is usually notified of the committee’s decision within six weeks of the registration deadline. At the same time, the trainee will be provided with instructions regarding payment of applicable training fees.
