The Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) is the certificate that medical doctors in the United Kingdom receive to indicate that they have completed training in their chosen specialty and are therefore eligible for entry onto the specialist or GP register.
This registration is needed to apply for posts as a consultant or a general practitioner (GP) respectively.
As of 2010, there are postgraduate medical training programmes in 61 specialties that lead to the award of a CCT.
[1] This certificate is awarded by the General Medical Council (GMC), a self-funding statutory body independent of the government and the Royal Colleges of the various medical specialties.
The GMC took on its role on 1 April 2010 following its merger with the former Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board.
