Portfolio pathway (formally Certificates of eligibility)
Portfolio pathway applications (formally CESR and CEGPR) are issued to specialists and GPs who have not completed a GMC-approved programme but are able to demonstrate that they meet our requirements particular to their specialty, training, qualifications and experience.
Applicants
We understand applications for the Portfolio pathway can be a daunting prospect. Applicants will look to get as much information as possible before committing to a time consuming and complex process. However, if you're seeking to assess the likelihood of success for an application, you should interpret these numbers with caution.
The process of applying is a unique experience for each applicant. Success depends on your:
- previous experience
- level and availability of the evidence
- willingness to engage with the process
- referees are able to provide the information we need.
