Our services
Everything we handle
on your behalf.
From your first eligibility check to stepping onto campus, our OSPAP consultants manage every moving part so you can focus on passing.
GPhC Adjudication Support
We guide you through the GPhC eligibility assessment — checking your overseas qualification, translating documents, and making sure your submission is correct first time.
University Selection
We match you to the right OSPAP university based on intake dates, location, tuition fees and your personal profile — Aston, Brighton, Hertfordshire or Sunderland.
Application Documents
Personal statement, academic transcripts, professional references, internship certificates — we prepare, review and organise your full application bundle.
Student Visa (CAS)
Once you hold a conditional or unconditional offer, we support your Student visa application including CAS letter review, financial evidence and UKVI compliance.
OET Preparation
We offer structured OET preparation tailored to pharmacists — expert tutors, realistic practice tests, and a personalised study plan to reach the GPhC minimum of B.
Pre-registration Placement
We advise on the National Recruitment Scheme (Oriel), timeline, portfolio preparation and what to expect from your 52-week pre-registration training year.
Step by step
The complete OSPAP journey — from application to registration.
GPhC Adjudication
Submit your overseas qualifications to the GPhC for equivalence assessment. We prepare your dossier and ensure everything meets GPhC requirements.

University Application
Apply to one of the four GPhC-accredited OSPAP universities. We write your personal statement and manage the full application.
