All dates in 2009 are subject to change
* For each
sitting, if all places are filled for the main date, then a reserve date will
be offered in its place. This reserve date will act as an overspill date in
case candidate numbers exceed expectations. It will not be possible to book
onto both the main and reserve date for a sitting. The reserve date will only
be opened if needed.
GP trainees who
have registered with
the RCGP and are eligible to sit the CSA (i.e. they are in ST3) can apply online for
a morning or afternoon assessment on a particular date. Dates will be offered
until fully booked, after which further dates will be made available. Fees must
be paid at the time of applying.
Trainees who fail the CSA may apply to re-sit in a
subsequent series, but would need deanery approval for any extension of
training that might be needed. Fees for re-sits are the same as for first assessments.
Dates for assessments in 2009 have been revised (July
2008) to take account of emerging trends in demand and training requirements as
well as to improve re-sit opportunities for candidates who do not pass at the
first attempt. An additional examination may be made available in December 2008
exclusively for re-sitting candidates whose training has been extended.
Please note that not all of the dates shown in the table
below will necessarily be offered: they will be made available according to
demand.
