If you are a member of one of these PAs see Professional Association option for further information on how to apply for registration.

If you are not a member of one of these PAs you should see PA option for non members

If you do not wish to register through one of the PAs, there is an alternative option which is more expensive - see Alternative route for further information. This option is also used for those practitioners who have attended a course and gained a qualification which does not meet the national occupational standards and whose application is therefore unable to be verified without further evidence.
