Examinations
In the course of ANZCA training, trainees are required to successfully complete the primary examination (while in basic training) and the final examination (during advanced training). Trainees should be familiar with the format, minimum marks required and eligibility requirements for each of these important examinations. The primary exam will be changing in 2013 so candidates should be aware of these changes.
Each of these examinations is offered twice a year as indicated in the tables below. Applications and documentation will not be accepted after the closing date.
