You should allow 2 weeks for your fully completed APC application to be processed, if not applying online.
Please note: all first time APC applicants and return to practice APC applicants must provide evidence of a current Basic Life Support Certificate (BLS) (2 hour minimum) with their APC application and are therefore unable to apply online at present.
