MRCPsych eLearning resources to support revision and test your knowledge

MRCPsych eLearning offers several online learning resources which candidates may find helpful in preparing for the written components of the MRCPsych exams.

Our Paper A resources are specifically designed to support revision with module topics drawn from the basic science subject areas of the exam syllabus. We also offer a Practice Paper to help you consolidate your learning from MRCPsych eLearning Paper A modules, test your understanding of key concepts and reflect on your progress as you work through the curriculum. Paper A resources are free to access for all College members – just log in with your College details (not OpenAthens) to access the modules.

Many of our CPD eLearning resources are relevant to the clinical components of the Paper B syllabus, and these have been identified and mapped accordingly. Although these are not specifically designed for Paper B revision in the way that Paper A modules are, these may be helpful to candidates preparing for this paper. To access these resources, you will need a subscription to CPD eLearning; subscriptions are available at a discounted rate for members.

CPD Submissions

To help you log your Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to show in your appraisal, we provide a service called CPD Submissions. CPD Submissions lets you log your CPD activity and peer group membership and generate an RCPsych CPD certificate of good standing.

CPD eLearning

CPD eLearning is the online resource for mental health professionals, offering over 200 learning modules and 180 podcasts.
