:point_right: This information has been verified by GMC. :white_check_mark:

:seat: When it comes to booking a PLAB 2 seat, the good news is that there is no longer a requirement to demonstrate valid English proficiency. You can focus on your medical knowledge without the added burden of English exams. :no_entry_sign::books:

:star2: Additionally, here’s some exciting news: if you apply for GMC registration within 3 months of passing PLAB 2, you can use your successful PLAB 2 pass as substantial evidence of your English proficiency. This applies even if your IELTS or OET results have expired, provided that you passed your English test less than 3 years ago. This convenient option indirectly extends your English test validity for an additional year, originally being valid for only 2 years. :tada::trophy:

How to proceed with using plab 2 as proof of english pro efficiency for gmc registration? Is the process automatic or do you need to send gmc an email

3

proof of english is for three years so you can still use it actually. oet has a different process for verification so when you get to that column just do it as instructed. pls do your registration within 3 months of your exam date.

Could you clarify if the validity of english proficiency is from the date of the exam or when the result were out?

@Bakrburoo

Did you take PLAB 2 and OET in 2024?
If yes, then you won’t need to retake OET for registration.

The oet was in 2022 the PLAB 2 was in 2024

You will be required to take OET, confirm with GMC anyway.
