There are two ways to deal with your CORU registration.
You can either complete the forms yourself and forward CORU registration forms via an online portal or the second option is to use professional assistance with CORU registration forms.
Using an award-winning company like Monroe Medical ensures success, reduces stress, and builds on our proven track record of helping over 1,300 candidates.
Gaps or errors in your CORU application can result in delays, requests for additional information, case studies, or aptitude tests. In some cases, your recognition or registration may even be refused. Don’t take the risk—get it right the first time!
How Long Does It Take to Register with CORU?
The CORU registration process consists of two stages:
-
Recognition: This stage takes 2-4 months for CORU to issue a decision.
-
Registration: Typically completed in 2-4 weeks once recognition is granted.
If you choose Monroe Medical to assist with your forms, our process takes approximately 1-2 months to ensure your application is accurate and complete.
In total, the entire process—including waiting for CORU decisions—can take around 4-5 months.
What documents do I need to submit together with my CORU registration forms? All applicants would need to submit the following:
Certified copy of a proof of identity document
Certified copy of a proof of address document
Certified copy of your qualification certificate

Further info requests
If shortfalls are identified, CORU assessors may request additional information, case studies, or descriptions of your placements and work to support your application.
The key to avoiding this is to submit a well-prepared application, including detailed descriptions, supporting letters.
Appeal
An appeal is a popular choice for candidates who disagree with their decision letter or have encountered errors in completing the required forms. We have successfully assisted overseas candidates with various appeals, achieving a 100% success rate.
Aptitude Test
If CORU assessors are not satisfied with the information provided in the application form, they may request further measures.Candidates always have a choice between an adaptation test or an aptitude test. The aptitude test is a challenging exam consisting of four parts, and it must be completed in Ireland.
Second Application
Re-submissions or re-appeals are common among candidates who are unable to meet the requirements outlined in their initial decision letters. We are proud to have a 100% success rate for re-submissions and offer expert professional support to guide you through the process.
Adaptation
An adaptation, also called a period of adaptation, refers to practical placements that must be completed in a hospital or clinic, depending on the profession. The candidate's decision letter will specify the duration of the adaptation, core areas, and duties that must be covered during the practical sessions.
Aditional recommendations
Occasionally, CORU assessors may request additional recommendations beyond aptitude tests or adaptation periods. These may include an extra study module or a specialist training program.
