Before you book your IAPS
To apply to sit the IAPS, you must have:
- completed OneFile to 100%
- completed an IAPS showcase which has been signed off by your workplace supervisor
- demonstrated in your showcase how you have met the overarching descriptor for each Good Scientific Practice domain at Consultant Clinical Scientist level
When to book your IAPS
You must submit your IAPS application 3 months before the period you have selected to sit your assessment. The IAPS is delivered each year in May and November and the number of days it runs for will depend on the expected number of trainees applying.
pagesHow to book your IAPS
The IAPS application form is available in OneFile. When selecting the period you wish to sit your IAPS, make sure to consider any other events you may need to attend, for example your research project viva. The exact date of your IAPS will be emailed to you together with attendance details once the School has received your form.
Once you have booked your IAPS, any changes must be submitted via the IAPS exceptional arrangement policy. The School acknowledges that unforeseen events may occur near the time of the IAPS requiring a deferment. These are considered via the IAPS mitigating circumstances policy.
