ACP Training Days

ACP Supervisor Training

All Educational Supervisors of ACPs working towards credential must complete RCEM ACP Supervisor training. Details of this training are provided below. Please ensure that you complete the training appropriate for the curriculum your ACP supervisee is credentialing against (2017 or 2022).

2017 ACP curriculum

All ACPs credentialing on the 2017 curriculum (adults, children or dual) are required to have an RCEM-trained Educational Supervisor who is eligible to complete the final sign-off of the portfolio prior to submission. It is recommended that ACPs have an RCEM-trained Educational Supervisor throughout the credentialing journey but must have an RCEM-trained ES for the final year of training as a minimum.

The final opportunity for ACPs to credential on the 2017 ACP curriculum is the Autumn 2024 credentialing window. Therefore, as it is expected that all Educational Supervisors will have completed RCEM ACP Supervisor training (2017 curriculum) prior to Autumn 2023, we will not be hosting any further live training sessions.

For Educational Supervisors who completed the training more than 2 years ago, and for those who would like a refresher, we have created an online learning session on the RCEMLearning platform. The module consists of 7 short videos which were recorded during a live virtual training session. Please note: to access the RCEM ACP Supervisor Training (2017 curriculum) module, you will firstly need to login to your RCEMLearning account.

2022 ACP curriculum

All Educational Supervisors of ACPs credentialing on the 2022 ACP curriculum are required to complete RCEM ACP Supervisor training within 12 months of an ACP commencing, or transitioning to, the new curriculum.

RCEM ACP Supervisor training (2022 curriculum) can be completed either as an e-learning module on the RCEMLearning platform or by attending a ‘live’ session hosted on Zoom. It is strongly recommended that Educational Supervisors who have not previously completed training for the 2017 ACP curriculum attend one of the live sessions as these enable participants to ask questions of the faculty during the training. To book a place, please click on the registration link for the date of the session you wish to attend below.

The RCEMLearning module is recommended for Educational Supervisors who have completed 2017 curriculum supervisor training within the last 3 years. It consists of seven short videos (modules) which were recorded during a ‘live’ training session, and a series of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to embed the learning. Successful completion of the RCEMLearning module requires an MCQ pass mark of 50%.

To access the online training on the RCEMLearning platform, please complete the registration form (link below) and email it to ACP@rcem.ac.uk. Registrants will be able to access the learning session from approximately midday the Monday following submission, providing the application is received by 09:00 the previous Friday.

Within 10 working days of successful completion of training, the role of ACP Educational Supervisor will be assigned to the supervisor’s ePortfolio account, providing all eligibility criteria to fulfil this role are met. This will allow the ACP ES to complete the Foundation Skills Sign-off form, ESR, FEGS, and the final sign-off of the portfolio prior to submission for ACPs credentialing on the 2022 curriculum. Please note: the ACP must also add the supervisor to their own portfolio as their ACP Educational Supervisor (this is different to the RCEM Educational Supervisor role).

Currently, RCEM ACP Supervisor training (RCEMLearning module) is only open to Educational Supervisors who meet the eligibility criteria to fulfil the role of ACP ES as defined in the ACP credentialing regulations. If you are a Clinical Supervisor for an ACP credentialing on the 2022 curriculum, please email ACP@rcem.ac.uk to be added to the waiting list for one of the ‘live’ training sessions and you will be notified if a place becomes available.

If you have any questions regarding RCEM ACP Supervisor training, please email ACP@rcem.ac.uk.
