GPhC / CRA eligibility & application

The Common Registration Assessment is one component of the route to pharmacist registration. Sitting the assessment depends on your training/registration pathway and the regulator's current eligibility process, not simply purchasing an exam booking.

APPLICATION PATH

Work through the route in the right order

  1. 01

    Confirm that you are on the correct training/registration route

    Use the regulator's current foundation-training and registration information to make sure the sitting applies to your stage and circumstances.

  2. 02

    Complete the required assessment application/booking steps

    Follow the official timetable and communications for the sitting. Keep your contact details current so booking and candidate instructions reach you.

  3. 03

    Read the specification and candidate rules

    Confirm assessment components, permitted calculator/reference arrangements, identification, test-centre rules and any reasonable-adjustment process from the current official documents.

  4. 04

    Plan for both papers on the official schedule

    The two parts are a linked assessment. Build your final preparation around the actual reporting time, breaks and paper order communicated for your sitting.
