The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) has chosen Surpass Assessment to deliver its Common Registration Assessment exams for trainee pharmacists from 2026.
The GPhC will use the end-to-end award-winning Surpass Platform for the creation and scoring of their papers, and deliver their Common Registration Assessment in twice-yearly sittings in the UK, via the Surpass global Test Centre Network.
By using the Scheduler system, the GPhC will also enjoy flexible candidate booking and streamlined exam management.
Since they first contracted with Surpass in 2022, some 23,000 assessments have been successfully delivered for GPhC across six sittings.
Our Registration Assessment ensures trainee pharmacists have the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver safe and effective pharmacy care. We are delighted to continue our partnership with Surpass Assessment, who have demonstrated the excellence we need to meet our requirements.
