Record of In Training Assessment/ ARCP


SpR annual assessments will be performed on a "paper" basis, interviews will be held for fourth year trainees prior to sitting the FCEM. The minimum acheivements required for satisfactory progression are listed below. These may therefore be subject to change in the future.

The RITA proforma should be completed prior to your RITA deadline and needs to be completed with your educational supervisor. ARCP documentation should also be complete (either paper version or e-portfolio) and reviewed by your educational supervisor.

Below are some snapshots of a training session in 2006 - the West Midlands Fire Service arranged an afternoon demonstrating and participating in extrication from a vehicle.
