Online Pathway

The next Committee meeting for NZCCRTGE will be on 4 December 2024.

The deadline for applications is 11 November 2024.

We encourage you to make applications early to allow us time to review your submission for completeness. This will help to ensure your application is reviewed by Committee without delay.  

Only applications with all required documentation will be reviewed by the Committee.   

This application form can be used for all pathways and procedure types. Blank spreadsheets for generating KPIs from data extracted from ProVation and SOLA, ANZ Conjoint DOPS and the blank cleaning log are available under the information and forms tab.

Paper logbooks will continue to be accepted for trainees who commenced prior to 2021.

To apply for recognition please:

  1. Read the Guidelines thoroughly
  2. Look over the forms required for your application submission at the NZCCRTGE Resource Page.
  3. Gather the required documentation and complete the forms noted above that are required for the pathway and procedure(s) you wish to receive recognition for.
  4. Complete the application form and submit.
  5. Speak with your two nominated supervisors and ask them to complete the form.

    NZCCRTGE suggest that you sit down with the supervisor and do the report together and ask them to submit the report at that time. This will ensure you receive feedback on your performance as well as knowing the report has been submitted.

  6. If required email additional information to conjoint@nzsg.org.nz with your name and date the application was submitted.
  7. Make a direct payment to NZCCRTGE at 02-0500-0605655-000 including your name and date of the application as a reference.

If you are applying under the International Practitioner Pathway for JAG or Australian CCRTGE recognised endoscopists an administration fee of $150NZD applies.

Applications for recognition must submit their documents via the on-line form below.

Please note:
Applications will be reviewed at the next hui if submitted by the due date seen above. Please allow 10 to 15 business day post a meeting for an update on your application.

If you are applying under the International Practitioner Pathway for JAG or Australian CCRTGE
recognised endoscopists you must upload documentary evidence of recognition (e.g., JAG certificate, CCRTGE letter). NZCCRTGE reserves the right to confirm the authenticity of these documents where required.

Requesting your prior recognition on the online register
If you have already gained recognition of training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy via the NZCCRTGE (including Grandfathering) you may request that your details be included in the online searchable register. Inclusion on the register is voluntary and will display your name and limited information about your pathway to recognition of training. Please email your recognition of training letter to conjoint@nzsg.org.nz. If you do not have a copy of your letter, please provide details in the notes regarding endoscopy type, pathway and year that you hold recognition for and we will try to confirm your details in the database.

Requesting your recognition be deleted from the online register
If you previously agreed to inclusion and wish to withdraw your details from the register you may send the request this in writing to conjoint@nzsg.org.nz.
There is no additional application fee to opt into the register for endoscopists who have gained recognition of training via NZCCRTGE.
