I am a trainee on an OOPT that is counting towards my CCT, how do I complete an ESSR?

If you are on an OOPT that is counting training time towards your CCT, you will need to have a proper ARCP. The 3 main things you need to provide are a complete ESSR, a complete MSF and a complete, up-to-date form R.

  • Trainees can complete an ESSR with a supervisor based overseas: their supervisor would need to complete the form on the College website https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/form/access-llp to get access, including the country instead of the ‘School’ (or filling as n/a)
  • You AREN’T expected to complete WPBAs or CUT forms abroad 
  • A UK-based College Tutor, likely the one you last had before going on OOPT, would have to sign off the form.


For more general FAQs on OOPTs please refer to the OOP section.
