I am ready to have my qualification assessed

Before you request for us to assess your application, you should read all the guidance above and our guidance on getting your qualification assessed to ensure you think you can demonstrate that you can meet all our criteria. You should also consider and understand the costs involved, some of which are non-refundable. Fees and costs include:

• The qualification assessment fee (non-refundable)
• Costs of English Language tests (if required)
• Costs to take the AARA
• Fees to ECFMG, a division of Intealth to verify your qualification 
• Application for registration fee
• Cost of your visa, flights to the UK and any accommodation and travel while in the UK for all AARA exams.

Considering these costs, we also suggest you consider and research the likelihood of obtaining employment as an AA in the UK before starting the process.

Once you’ve read this guidance and understand the costs involved and the evidence needed to support your assessments and application, you can request a qualification assessment.

To start your qualification assessment, you’ll need to answer a few questions on our eligibility checker. At the end of this you’ll be directed to GMC Online to create an account.
