Hi John,

As a PRA I help applicants use Career Manager for professional registration. The amount of it you need for registration is actually very small, really just a collection of online forms. What you have to be careful is not to use bits of it that you don't need to! I'd say probably the most complex parts are the "self assessment" and "CPD" parts, and you don't need to use either of those for professional registration. You might decide you want to, but you don't have to.

The difficult part of professional registration is the the Employment History section, that's where all your evidence actually goes, but that's just a blank page to complete. It has to be, because everybody's application is different. I find many candidates write this up on Word or similar first until they've got it right, and then just paste it into Career Manager. (And, to be honest, that's what I'd do too.)

Used like that it's just filling in an online form, which I should think we're all pretty used to these days!

It doesn't go anywhere until you decide to submit it, so you can start it and came back and tweak it as much as you like.

Hope that helps,

Thanks,

Andy
