During the foundation year 2,
usually between November and May, those interested in a career in
psychiatry can apply for specialist training. For psychiatry, this
training consists of three years of core training, referred to as
CT1 to CT3. Subsequently, there is a further application for higher
specialty training (ST4-ST6). The Certificate of Completion of
Training, or CCT, is awarded on completion of this higher specialty
training programme.
The following pages will provide information
about the application process and interviews:
Further details and timeframes for CT1
training can be found in the National
Recruitment section of the College website.
