This application is for those looking to accredit as a Level 3 Clinical Practitioner in Cardiac CT. Applicants will typically (i) have Level 2 BSCI/BSCCT accreditation; (ii) be practicing clinical cardiac CT routinely; and (iii) be approaching the end of their accreditation period.
The minimum level of clinical activity that you will be able to demonstrate is 300 cases over the past three years (most will have undertaken considerably more than this).

You will also have been undertaking relevant CPD and will be able to demonstrate at least 20 hours of Category 1 CPD pertinent to cardiovascular CT over this period.
Applications are not encouraged before 3 years have elapsed since Level 2 accreditation. However, such applications may be considered where individuals have accumulated the minimum requirements and wish to expedite the process. There will be no reduction in application fee for applications made less than 3 years since Level 2 accreditation.
