ARB is introducing a new, streamlined approach to routes to registration, designed to be clearer, fairer and more accessible, while continuing to protect the public.
Planned for implementation by spring 2027, the changes include:
• A new Registration Assurance Process (RAP)
• New routes to registration
• A new approach to the Prescribed Examination
• A new Readiness for Practice UK (RfPUK) module for international applicants
As part of these reforms, individuals with ARB-accredited Part 2 and Part 3 qualifications (or Part 2 via Prescribed Exam) will no longer require Part 1 to apply for registration, and the Part 1 Prescribed Examination will be discontinued following final sittings in 2026.

ARB is proposing a set of changes to improve the trainee experience of professional practical experience. As part of these changes, ARB is proposing for learning providers to take on a coordinating role.
Through this role, learning providers will help trainees gain find relevant work experience, use the Trainee Record of Experience as a tool to track progress and guide development, and support trainees with workplace concerns.
