HCPC Registration Timeline and Expected Costs
If you’re a healthcare professional from another country and want to work in the UK, you must register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). At Evenhanded Overseas Consultancy, we offer full HCPC registration assistance to help make this process easy for you. We also provide CORU registration consultancy and overseas healthcare registration services for those who want to work in Ireland.
This guide explains how long the HCPC registration process usually takes and what it will cost.
How Long Does HCPC Registration Take?
Here’s a step-by-step timeline of the HCPC registration process for international applicants:
Step 1: Prepare Your Documents (1–2 Weeks)
- Before you apply, you need to collect the following:
- Degree certificate and transcripts
- English language test results (like IELTS)
- Passport or ID
- Work experience letters
- Professional reference
- Police clearance
We help you gather and review your documents as part of our overseas healthcare registration services.
Step 2: Submit Application (1 Day)
Once your documents are ready, you can apply online through the HCPC website. Our team will guide you through this step with full HCPC registration assistance.
Step 3: Initial Review by HCPC (4–6 Weeks)
HCPC will check your application to make sure all documents are correct. If something is missing, they will ask you to send it again. To avoid delays, we make sure your application is complete and accurate.
Step 4: Assessment by Registration Panel (8–12 Weeks)
A panel of experts will assess your qualifications and experience. If they approve your application, you will move on to the final step.
Step 5: Pay Registration Fee and Get HCPC Number (1 Week)
After approval, you’ll receive an email asking you to pay the registration fee. Once paid, you will receive your HCPC registration number and can legally work in the UK.
Total Estimated Time: 3 to 5 months
