🗺️ Training Map, Requirements & Roadmap
A simple guide to staying on track in GP training.
The Training Map tab in FourteenFish is a useful tool to be aware of. In this quick guide, we’ll show you where to find it, how to use it, and how it can help you stay organised and avoid falling behind.
🧠Where to Find the Training Map
From your Portfolio tab, look over to the right-hand column — you’ll see a button at the top labelled Training Map.
When you open it, you’ll first see some basic details at the top:
- Your name and contact email
- Your current supervisors
- A visual timeline showing your training pathway
- Tabs for each of your placements (these show basic info like CSRs and ESRs)
You can scroll further down to find:
- Your ESR area (where you’ll sign of ESRs once submitted and signed by your ES)
- Past ARCP outcomes (including downloadable PDFs)
But the most useful areas are tucked into the top navigation bar within the Training Map: Roadmaps and Requirements.
🗓️ Roadmaps: What to Do, When
This is one of the most helpful tools in the portfolio - credit to Dr Annie He and Wessex Deanery for designing/publishing these.
You can select a Roadmap according to your:
- Grade
- Working percentage (e.g. full-time, 80%, 60%)
- Length of placements (e.g. four-month posts)
Each roadmap gives you a visual timeline of what to complete each month. For example, if you're an ST1 on a full-time rotation, you might see:
Month | Suggested Tasks |
Month 1 | 4 Clinical Case Reviews + Placement Planning Meeting |
Month 2 | 4 CCRs + 1 Mini-CEX |
Month 3 | 4 CCRs + 1 CBD |
Month 4 | 3 CCRs + Clinical Supervisor Review (CSR) |
The roadmap helps keep you accountable and on-course throughout the year, and avoids that awful “I’ve done nothing all year” moment in May.
đź“‹ Requirements: Minimum Evidence Sheet
The Requirements tab in the same menu on the Training Map page takes you to a page titled:
"Workplace-Based Assessments Minimum Mandatory Evidence Sheet"
It includes a hyperlink to the official RCGP requirements document — this shows you exactly how many of each assessment and log you need at each stage of training.
For example, in ST1 you’ll need:
- âś… 4 COTs or Mini-CEXs
- âś… 4 CBDs
- âś… At least 36 Clinical Case Reviews
Plus several other requirements like CEPS, LEAs, MSF and QIPs…
We'll link directly to that sheet here, because its very useful

🔑 Why This Even Matters..
Every year, trainees get caught out - not because they haven’t worked hard, but because they didn’t keep evidence of it. By the time ARCP rolls around, they’re scrambling to upload assessments, logs, CEPS… and chasing supervisors who’ve gone on holiday.
The Training Map (and especially the Roadmap + Requirements tabs) helps you:
- Visualise your year at a glance
- Plan assessments evenly across each placement
- Stay ahead of deadlines
- Avoid that dreaded June panic
But even the best intentions can slip — which is why we built a simple tool to make your life easier.
