1.About CCP Certification of Completion of Programme

The Certification of Completion of Programme (CCP) testifies that a trainee has completed two years of comprehensive teaching and training under the senior guidance and supervision of NHS UK consultants.

This certification demonstrates that a non-trainee doctor has:

Completed 240+ hours of teaching
Engaged in 100+ case-based discussions
Participated in 100 Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPs)
Gained experience in self-reflective learning

The CCP in Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine, or Paediatric Emergency Medicine is supported by a comprehensive portfolio (1,000+ pages), which includes:

CBD Certificates
Lecture Attendance Records
Workshop Feedback
Detailed Teaching and Learning Logs

This certificate is backed by verifiable recorded lectures that can be reproduced upon request by any organisation

A holder of this certificate is capable of teaching, training, and supervising other trainees. This certification also demonstrates that the trainee has participated in live interactive teaching, hands-on workshops, and professional development activities.

Having the CCP on a portfolio will enable trainees to get sign off their foundation and core trainee competencies from their local supervisors, Additionally, CCP prepares them to apply for Specialty Training posts at Registrar level in NHS UK

Career Advancement and Recognition

Trainees who complete membership exams and obtain the CCP Certification have successfully secured ST3 Registrar-level positions in NHS England. This reflects the value of their portfolio, competency documentation, and exam achievements.

The programme provides non-trainee doctors with a structured pathway, allowing them to:

Present verifiable evidence of their training.
Negotiate higher-level roles.
Build competitive portfolios in a challenging job market.

Holding a CCP in Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine, or Paediatric Emergency Medicine, alongside membership exam qualifications, has enabled LGEM trainees to secure ST3 Registrar-level posts in NHS England and negotiate better positions for themselves. This reflects the recognition of their hard work, portfolio compilation, and evidence of competency completion.

With growing competition in the UK job market, a strong portfolio differentiates doctors. A CCP in Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine, or Paediatric Emergency Medicine, combined with membership exam qualifications, significantly increases job prospects and supports specialist registration through the portfolio pathway.
