Application

Study, Attendance and Qualification

100% attendance is expected throughout the course. All coursework and exams must be completed to an acceptable standard before the end of the course in order to receive the qualification. Students who do not wish to receive a teaching qualification may choose not to submit assessments.

If circumstances require a student to miss a taught module, they may make this up with additional study by agreement with the teaching faculty. This may incur further costs which will be agreed between the student and teacher. There may be circumstances in which a student wishes to put their training on hold; you may discuss options with the teaching faculty.

Becoming an inspirational teacher starts with your own personal practice and we will expect students to develop a daily practice. This is the foundation for your ongoing learning and growth.

Quality assurance

Faculty teachers/trainers are required to set and mark theory and exam papers and observe practice, providing effective feedback to the student. The student cohort will be divided between the senior faculty teachers and their assessments will be moderated.

Students will be asked regularly for their evaluation of the course and attention will be paid to their feedback. If you are not happy with any aspect of the course you may have recourse to our Grievance Procedure. We would always ask that you raise your concerns with the senior teaching team in the first instance.
