How does the HCPC registration process work?

As soon as you apply for HCPC you get nervous, impatient and want to get your HCPC registration as soon as possible. But, it will take the due time to complete the process step by step. As mentioned on HCPC website

International applications process

1. Submit forms and scrutiny fee

2. Receive confirmation letter and reference number

3. Processing and assessment

4. Decision letter

All applicants will receive a decision letter notifying them about the outcome of their application. In successful cases this will confirm their addition to the Register.

The process looks simple but it has its own flaws.

• The confirmation mail gets stuck in the 'Draft' box

• The scrutiny link didn't receive.

• The scrutiny link is not working

• The credit card is not accepted.

• Waiting time when you call HCPC takes nearly 40-60 minutes to get answered.

• Every time new caller answers your call and you have to brief them from beginning.

• Acceptance of documents

and many more.

This is how registration process actually work

The first step is receiving mail from HCPC with a scrutiny link in it.

The second step is reference check, they will contact your references randomly.

After that the application gets sent to the 'Assessors'.

If the assessors are happy with it you will get the confirmation mail from HCPC regarding paying registration to get your 'REGISTRATION' .

The process gets complicated when you fail to submit any documents. Because; in that case you will have to courier them, then they will receive it and they will again start working on it.

So it would be better to attach all the mentioned documents while submitting the HCPC application.

Once you have your Reference number with you, you can contact them via mail or call quoting your reference number and ask for the updates. The more you call the more you will speed up the process. So call them frequently and ask about the updates.

Timeline

Considering the current scenario you will receive confirmation mail along with a scrutiny fee link after 60-70 days of receiving your courier at the HCPC office.
