GMC registration & the specialist route

The General Medical Council offers two principal routes for internationally trained doctors: full registration and specialist registration. We guide you through both — including English-language evidence via OET.

Full GMC Registration

IMGs with acceptable primary medical qualifications apply for full registration, typically after passing PLAB or via a relevant sponsorship pathway.

Typical timeline: 12–18 months

Eligibility

  • Acceptable Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ)
  • PLAB 1 & 2 passed, OR accepted sponsorship
  • English language evidence (OET / IELTS / sponsorship)
  • EPIC / GMC source verification of qualifications

Specialist Registration

Doctors seeking consultant posts must hold Specialist Registration on the GMC's Specialist List, typically via the CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) route.

Typical timeline: 12–18 months

Eligibility

  • Full GMC registration
  • Mapped specialist skills & training portfolio
  • Evidence of equivalent training and experience
  • CESR application reviewed by the relevant Royal College

OET is an accepted English-language evidence route for the GMC — combine your licensing and language prep with our OET subdomain.
