Speech and language therapists are all graduates of a three or four-year degree course accredited by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. To work in the NHS, graduates need a certificate to practice from the Royal College plus registration with the Healthcare Professions Council or HPC. It is possible with a relevant alternate first degree to also qualify for HPC registration by taking a two-year postgraduate qualification.
