Important update: Change to MTI application fee
From 6 January 2025, the application fees for the Medical Training Initiative (MTI) scheme will be revised.
This change will ensure that we can continue to provide high-quality support throughout the application process – from application submission to the completion of the post. The new fees will be as follows:
- £570 for members of the College
- £750 for non-members
This revised fee structure will apply to all new applications submitted on or after 6 January 2025. The adjustment has been introduced following review of the initiative and the work involved in delivering the service.
The MTI offers a unique opportunity for international doctors to gain valuable experience in the NHS while contributing to patient care and developing skills that they can apply in their home countries. The College remains committed to supporting doctors to access this initiative.
We understand the fee changes may raise questions, and we would encourage you to review the FAQs below or contact us at [email protected].
