We offer the Part II Training Scheme to support those in-work to reach the standards required to be successfully examined by the Association of Clinical Scientists (ACS) and be awarded registration as a Clinical Scientist.
Please note: Applications to IPEM's Part II Training Scheme have now closed, this content is retained for current scheme participants.
For each Part II trainee, IPEM appoints an External (Training) Advisor (EA) who is individually selected based on their expertise in the trainee's field of specialisation. The EA will work in a different organisation to the trainee. The EA approves the training plan when satisfactory or suggests further improvements where necessary. The External Advisor remains available to the trainee for the duration of their training, including assessment.
A successful interview and assessment results in the award of the Association of Clinical Scientists (ACS) Certificate of Attainment, which the candidate can then present to the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) in order to gain registration.
Applications to IPEM's Part II Training Scheme have now closed.
We will be opening applications to IPEM's Clinical Scientist Guided Training Scheme shortly. You can find out more information about the training scheme here.
If you would like to apply to be assessed for registration through the ACS' 'Route 2', please contact the Association of Clinical Scientists directly. More information on Route 2 can be found here.
