Revisions to our Standards of Proficiency- what you need to do
The HCPC’s Standards of Proficiency set out the technical requirements and competencies – the proficiencies – that all registrants are required to be able to demonstrate on entry to their profession.

The revised sets of Standards of Proficiency must be delivered to all new cohorts starting from 1 September 2023.
