Accreditation of Neurophysiology Training

Accreditation of Neurophysiology Training

Level 1 Training

Level 1 training in EEG and NCS/EMG is part of core neurology training, governed by the RACP, and does not require separate accreditation. The expectations of Level 1 training are included in the Requirements for Training in Clinical Neurophysiology documents below, for reference.

Level 2 and 3 EEG and NCS/EMG Training

Additional accreditation of training is required to be recognised as Level 2 or 3 in EEG and/or NCS/EMG. This includes accreditation of the training site prior to the training and of the trainee after the period of training.

Sites seeking to be accredited to deliver Level 2 or 3 neurophysiology training should refer to Site Accreditation for more information on how to apply.

Please note these requirements have been updated and will apply to all training completed after 31 January 2025.

For trainees completing their training prior to 31 January 2025, the previous standard will apply. Some additional training for pre-2025 trainees may be recommended prior to accreditation if training is deemed insufficient, even where case numbers have been met.

Trainee applications for recognition of Level 2 or 3 training will be processed twice yearly in March and September.

Applications must be submitted the Executive staff at the ANZAN Office (eeg.emg@anzan.org.au) no later than 10th March or 10th September each year. An outcome of your application will be received within 60 days of the assessment meeting.
