CORU Ireland Recognition Appeal – Don’t Panic, We Can Help You!
Have you recently applied to CORU for professional recognition in Ireland and received a rejection or a directive to complete a Period of Adaptation?
You’re not alone—and it’s not the end of your journey. At Evenhanded Overseas Consultancy, we’ve helped hundreds of healthcare professionals navigate the complexities of CORU’s recognition process and successfully overturn rejection decisions through well-prepared appeals.
What is CORU?
CORU is Ireland’s statutory regulator for health and social care professionals. It oversees registration for various professions including Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Social Work, Speech and Language Therapy, Dietetics, Psychology and more.
For overseas applicants, CORU evaluates whether your education, clinical training, and professional competencies match Irish standards. This ensures that all practising professionals in Ireland meet uniform levels of safety, quality, and accountability.
Why Are Some Applications Rejected?
CORU maintains strict evaluation criteria, and even well-qualified professionals sometimes face rejection. Common reasons include:
- Educational differences: Your degree or diploma may not fully align with Irish curriculum standards.
- Insufficient clinical evidence: You may not have clearly documented exposure to all core areas of practice required in Ireland
- Incomplete documentation: Missing placement details, transcripts, or clinical internship and experience summaries can lead to refusal.
- Lack of proof of professional competencies: CORU expects evidence of skills in areas like ethics, clinical reasoning, and multidisciplinary communication.
- Recommendation of a Period of Adaptation if they feel clinical gaps must be addressed under supervision in Ireland before granting recognition.
- If any of the above applies, you likely received a formal decision letter from CORU outlining the reasons for non-recognition or the requirement to undergo supervised adaptation.
Important: The Appeal Deadline
If you wish to appeal CORU’s decision, you must submit your appeal within 30 calendar days from the date of the decision letter.
Appeals submitted after 30 days are not accepted under any circumstances.
Don’t delay—reach out to us immediately after receiving your decision letter so we can help you begin the appeal process on time.
