ERT Requirements

The requirements for becoming ERT are summarised as follows: an academic degree in a science linked to toxicology, further theoretical training, practical training and expertise in toxicology (overall at least 5 years), current active professional participation in the field of Toxicology. They are described in the Guidelines for Registration, Sections A, B, and C.

Candidates for registration will have demonstrated a high standard of critical ability and communication skills, for example by authorship of reports, assessments, and/or published papers.

Once registered, on a 5-yearly basis toxicologists must re-affirm their registration credentials and document their continued professional awareness and education as well as their current activity in the subject.

The major requirements are illustrated in the Figure shown below.
