Maternity / Paternity Leave

Maternity / Paternity Leave cannot be counted towards your training and will therefore extend your certification date.

If you are planning on going out of programme for Maternity / Paternity Leave, you must let the JCST know. We will require:

  • Written confirmation from the RCS Ireland confirming the exact start and end dates (dd/mm/yyyy) of this period of leave

This is so that your certification date can be extended accordingly.

Your Maternity / Paternity Leave dates must not include any annual leave as this counts towards your training time.
