1. Renewing Registered Training Establishments Membership

All RTE renewals are due on 1st October each year. Renewal forms will be sent out by the UKATA Administration office. All completed forms and additional paperwork are to be sent to the UKATA Administration office. On receipt the UKATA Administration office will detach the confidential student/trainee membership information and forward to remainder of the renewal to the Chair of TASC. The Chair of TASC will review the completed RTE renewal to ascertain it is complete. If complete the UKATA Administration office will be informed and the RTE invoiced according to how many trainees they have in their training programme. Fees are payable for all students/trainees listed even if, after the forms have been submitted to UKATA, a student/trainee leaves the RTE’s programme. If the RTE renewal is not complete the RTE will be notified and requested to send in the missing information. Once received and complete the UKATA Administration office will invoice the RTE.
