These terms set out how the Erudical Points Guarantee works. They are designed to be clear and fair for both you and us.
What the guarantee covers
The guarantee applies to the training-in-teaching (teach the teacher) points that the Erudical course is designed to satisfy on UK Internal Medicine, Core and Specialty Training self-assessments, in every specialty whose person specification awards points for a teaching course. It does not cover other parts of your application, or a decision based on factors unrelated to the teaching course.
Which certificate to submit
Erudical issues a separate certificate for the live course and for the self-paced course, and a combined course certificate on request. To be covered, submit the certificate that matches your specialty’s criterion:
- Where the criterion requires live (synchronous) teaching, such as the six-hour minimum for IMT and Physician Higher Specialty Training: the live course certificate.
- Where the criterion is measured in days of study, such as Clinical Radiology ST1 (“at least 2 days”) and Histopathology ST1 (“more than 2 days”): both certificates, or the combined course certificate.
- Otherwise: either certificate.
Our points guide sets out what each specialty asks for.
Who is eligible
You are eligible if you: (1) purchased the Erudical Teach the Teacher course; (2) completed the parts of the course your specialty’s criterion requires and received the matching certificate; and (3) submitted that certificate as evidence for the teaching point on your application.
How to claim
If your teaching point is not accepted, get in touch through our contact form within 60 days of receiving your application scoring outcome. We will ask you for your certificate and written evidence from the recruitment body that the teaching point was not awarded, review it and, where the guarantee applies, refund your course fee in full.
What is not covered
The guarantee does not cover: points lost for reasons unrelated to the teaching course; applications where the certificate was not submitted as evidence, or where a certificate that does not meet your specialty’s criterion was submitted; specialties whose person specification does not award points for a teaching course (always check the current person specification — see our points guide); or claims made more than 60 days after the outcome.
General
We may update these terms from time to time; the version in force at your date of purchase applies. This guarantee is offered in addition to your statutory rights.
