Notes
  • Keep the evidence folder updated weekly.
  • Recruitment milestones and deadlines change each year. Always check the official guidance for the specialty and application round you are targeting.

How it works

The planner uses your target specialty, application date, current grade, and selected milestones to build a month-by-month plan.

  • Enter the evidence you already have rather than aspirational items.
  • Use the output to see which sections of the application are strongest.
  • Treat the band as a planning signal, not an official score.

What affects the result

The date, specialty, current grade, and milestones all change the shape of the plan.

  • Recruitment criteria can change between application rounds.
  • Evidence quality matters as much as quantity.
  • Some specialties weight portfolio, interview, or exam performance differently.

When to use it

Use it when you want to keep application work, portfolio building, and interview preparation on the same timeline.

  • It is useful before you start an application, after a teaching or audit project, and before interview preparation.
  • Use the output to decide what to improve next.
  • Save progress in your free dashboard when you want to track it over time.
