Article 6 Certificates of completion of specialist training
Subject to paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), the STA shall award a CCST to any person who applies to the STA for that purpose (and pays any fee determined by the STA) if the STA is satisfied that he has satisfactorily completed specialist medical training, in the specialty stated in his application, approved by the STA pursuant to article 7.
A CCST may be awarded only to a registered medical practitioner; and a CCST in oral and maxillo-facial surgery may be awarded only to a person who is also a registered dentist.
A period of training common to specialist medical training in more than one specialty counts towards completion of the training required for each of them.
The STA may award a CCST in a specialty listed in Schedule 2 only.
A CCST shall state—
the date on which it was awarded;
the specialty in which it was awarded;
the name of its holder; and
his primary medical qualifications and where those qualifications were awarded;
and where more than one year of the training to which the CCST attests took place outside the EEA, the CCST shall make clear that this was so, and shall state the length (in aggregate) of such training.
