Entry into training program

Application

First year trainees starting Advanced Training programs in 2025 need to apply for entry into the relevant training program through TMP. Trainees need to demonstrate (and provide evidence where applicable) that they have met the program entry criteria.

Trainees can submit rotation plans and nominate their supervisors in TMP while waiting for approval of their entry application.

Approval

Entry applications for Advanced Training will be approved by our staff or the relevant overseeing committee. Advanced Trainees who started any of the 6 selected programs in 2024 don't need to submit an entry application if they're continuing training in 2025, however they'll need to submit rotation plan(s) for the 2025 training year.

Nominating supervisors

Advanced Trainees should navigate to the ‘Training plan’ tab in TMP to:

• nominate 2 Rotation Supervisors in the rotation plan before submitting
• update any changes in supervisor details in the rotation plan

Important dates

For further information on the program-specific requirements including work-based assessments and their respective submission deadlines, please refer to the appropriate Advanced Training specialty curriculum.
