Exams

No, participants will not be able to sit the RACGP Fellowship exams while in the education component of the FSP. Successful progression through and completion of the education and training component of the program will contribute to exam eligibility.

Your exam candidacy will be paused during your time in the program. It will resume on completion of the program. It is important to note that your candidacy will resume, not be renewed.

Your exam candidacy will be suspended while you work toward exam eligibility on the FSP.

The high level exam eligibility requirements can be found in the Fellowship Exams Policy. These include completion of the training program and certain experience requirements.

The policy does not state the exact experience requirements as this detail will be advised in the registrar handbook that will be published in October 2022. You can be assured that the requirements will be no more than those stipulated in the General Practice Experience Pathway Exam Eligibility Policy, but we’re working on updated requirements for you to recognise the increased support you will receive on the training program.

We’ll communicate the updated details to you before you are required to sign any FSP program agreements in late November and update this FAQ accordingly.
