Retrospective module completion
Retrospective approval of prior training time does not automatically exempt you from the requirement to complete modules.
Modules completed during the retrospective accredited training time may be signed off by your module supervisor and/or current supervisor of training, after satisfactory discussion about the relevant module experience, and the provision of satisfactory documentation (for example, log book or signed entry in learning portfolio) to support the completion of the module.
Module sign off should occur as per ANZCA Professional Document TE2: Policy on Vocational Training Modules and Module Supervision.
The date of completion should be the date the module was completed not the date the module completion form is signed.
Modules should be documented in the usual manner, using a module completion form. These forms are provided with your learning portfolio, a hard copy of which is posted to you upon registration with ANZCA. Hard copies of the module completion form may also be obtained from your supervisor of training.
The requirements for retrospective recognition of training are described in Regulation 15.11. Module completion can be verified retrospectively for those who gain retrospective accreditation of experience in:
-
Partial training in a foreign training program (Regulation 15.11.1).
-
An affiliated training region (Regulation 15.11.2).
-
Previous UK SHO experience (Regulation 15.11.3).
-
Retrospectively accredited training time (Regulation 15.11.4).
For trainees who obtain experience overseas that may contribute towards module requirements these shoud be signed off by a supervisor of training on return to an ANZCA-accredited training site (on presentation of satisfactory documented evidence).
