How to complete the PRES Level 2 application form:

1. All candidates who are eligible and who wish to sit the PRES Level 2 must personally complete
Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Application Form and return it to the Medical Council. Candidates must
be declared eligible by the Medical Council before they can apply for the PRES Level 2.

Section 1 - Applicant Details - Candidates must complete this section in BLOCK CAPITALS.

Section 2 - PRES Level 2 date - Candidates should confirm the date of the exam they are applying
for by ticking the relevant boxes.

Allocations are made strictly on a first-come-first-served basis on receipt of fully completed

application forms AND confirmation of payment being received. If your complete PRES Level 2
application is received after allocations for a PRES Level 2 examination date/venue have been
made, you may be allocated a place in the list for your second preference or placed on a standby
list.

Section 3 - Payment - The application fee of €320.00 must be paid through your online account.
Once you have returned your Application Form, confirming that you wish to sit the PRES Level 2,
the fee will be raised on your doctor’s portal account and you will be notified by email.

Paying by Visa or MasterCard:

Please note that due to the EU revised Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), all online
payments within the EEA are now subject to Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). When
paying your Application Fee, you will be directed to a separate page to verify your payment.

Please ensure that your bank has your current mobile phone number before proceeding to
payment. When entering the phone number please enter the area code e.g. “353” and
remainder of your mobile number e.g. “87XXXXXXX” in the correct boxes.

Please also ensure that you are entering the correct cardholder name, address and post code,
associated with your bank account.

We would advise that you complete payment on a laptop or computer, as the payment page
may not be compatible with some mobile devices.

Please Note: In the event of a third party paying the fees for the PRES Level 2 on a candidate’s
behalf, the cardholder’s details should be entered on the billing page in order to verify the
payment.

Section 4 – Declaration - Candidates are asked to tick each box confirming their understanding
of completion of the Application Form/Examination procedures and then personally sign the
declaration. Forms completed/signed by third parties will be rejected.
