Application Deadline
Applications for an October start must be submitted by 9 September 2011.
Internal applicants are required to provide line-manager approval with their application. External applicants are required to submit two references with (or shortly after) their application.
Also, as this is an academic practice programme, participants need a practical context that they can draw upon - some form of regular teaching or facilitation activity. This is necessary in order to undertake the assessments, although part time teaching or facilitation is sufficient. If a participant wishes to undertake a module on an attendance only basis (i.e. without being assessed, and without being awarded a qualification), it would not be necessary for them to be involved in teaching or facilitation of students.
The programme begins in September of each year; teaching normally starts from October, and runs through to the following July.
All modules need to recruit minimum numbers in order to run.
