- When you have selected all required schemes, click the Basket icon.
- Select Proceed to Checkout.

Please ensure that you complete the full checkout process. Adding schemes to your basket does not reserve or purchase them.
Schemes that are full or are not currently available for registration will be displayed as Not Available for Purchase.
Registration Periods
Most schemes are available for registration during the following periods:
- Germline (Hereditary) Schemes: September to November
- Molecular Pathology and Technical Schemes: September and February
- Other Schemes: Registration periods may vary and can operate outside these standard windows
Registration dates may differ from year to year, so we recommend checking the catalogue regularly for the latest information.
Missed a Registration Deadline?
If you have missed the registration deadline for a scheme, please contact us. In some cases, we may be able to accommodate late registrations, depending on scheme availability and assessment schedules.
