  • Decision requiring you to complete a compensation measure (adaptation placement or aptitude test)

Appealing registration decisions (Irish qualified, registrants and overseas applicants): 

Applicants can submit an appeal with respect to the following registration decisions:

  • Decision to provisionally refuse registration (Irish qualified or overseas applicants)
