If you successfully complete the mandatory requirements of the Scientist Training Programme you will receive a confirmation of completion email with your electronic Certificate of Completion for the Scientist Training Programme (CCSTP) from week commencing 22 September 2025. The hard copy CCSTP will be sent, as soon as possible, to the address provided by you following completion of the data audit. However, this may be up to 4 to 6 weeks later.
If you are eligible to resit the final assessment or the Independent Assessment of Clinical Competence (IACC) if applicable, have an extension to your MSc or have approved exceptions, the CCSTP will be awarded when the completion criteria have been met in full. Therefore, timescales may vary significantly for individual trainees.
For future trainees it is anticipated that similar timescales will be followed, and the electronic CCSTP will be awarded to the majority of trainees, towards the end of September or early October.
