Application Procedure
Prospective applicants are asked to complete the Trust's application form which is available from the Administrator, or click on the link at the foot of this page. A £25 administration fee is required with the completed application. All aspects of the application and admission process are confidential.
All applications are individually assessed by the training staff. Candidates are notified of the results as soon as possible. A face-to-face interview may be required if distance permits - otherwise a telephone interview will be arranged.
All applicants receive equal consideration regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation and disability. Our training venues have partial disabled access, and the needs of students are assessed on an individual basis during an interview.
Commitment:
We emphasize that a clear commitment to the training is important. We have found it more effective for the learning process to have the continuity of a training group from start to finish, rather than people moving in and out of the class as in a modular-based training. If you apply and are accepted you may be occupying a space that others want, yet we would be unable to accommodate them. Please give this aspect of the application your consideration.
