Application for recertification of Faculty
Registered Trainer (FRT) status
Interim arrangements - recertification of Faculty Registered Trainer status
As of 1 January 2015 FRT recertification will be required through these revised regulations.
The General Training Committee will continue to recognise GP Trainers that hold Faculty
qualifications who have applied for an FRT number, provided they continue to be recognised
by the RCGP as trainers. All other FRTs (who are LoC MEd and PGA holders or who have
been recognised by the equivalency route) will continue to require recertification of FRT status
on a 5 yearly cycle. This will replace the requirement to recertify LoC MEd.

Evidence of at least 15 teaching activities over 5 years, to include:
1.
At least 5 work based assessments, a minimum of 3 of which should be related
to sexual and reproductive health.
Work based assessments might include the following (list not exhaustive):

•
•
•
An initial or final assessment for DFSRH.
An ACP or COT assessment.
An RDCP or DOP assessment.

Evidence required for a work based assessment:
Name of trainee, place and date of assessment, type of assessment.
2.
At least 1 peer observed teaching session in the 5 year cycle.
This may be from any teaching scenario (work based assessment, one–to-one or
small group teach, presentation etc.) led by the FRT which has been observed by a
colleague selected by the FRT as being someone who can give them appropriate
feedback on their teaching.
Evidence for a peer observed teaching session:
Name and signature of observer, place, date and description of teaching scenario.
The peer feedback may remain confidential between the observer and the observed.
The purpose of the exercise is to look at ways to develop teaching skills, and it
should not be seen as an assessment of teaching that must be passed. The FRT
should discuss what aspects of their teaching they particularly wish feedback on
before the observation, and time should be made available soon after the
observation for a private discussion between the observer and the FRT.
See Peer Observation of Teaching: Supporting Notes.
