Competency Mapping B Part B – Application of knowledge and skills
You must provide evidence to demonstrate your achievement of Core Competency 1 PLUS the Core Competencies for the specialist area(s) of practice you are applying for registration under. For example, if you are applying for registration with a specialist area of Animal Nutrition, you must demonstrate CC1 plus AN2-AN5.
If you work across two specialist areas of practice, you can apply for dual specialism. If you wish to be assessed for two specialist areas of practice, you will need to demonstrate your achievement of the competencies for both specialist areas of practice. For example, if you are applying for registration with the specialist areas of Public Health and Nutrition Science, you must demonstrate CC1 plus PH2-PH5 and NS2-NS5.
