The course units which provide initial teacher preparation for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting have been conjointly validated by the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting. The Postgraduate diploma is recordable on the Professional Register. Interim awards of a Postgraduate Certificate and a Postgraduate Diploma are available. Some option units will require attendance on an evening other than Tuesday. Teaching practice and assessment for the fast track route will be completed within one calendar year , with the option to submit a Dissertation by Easter the following year for the Masters Degree.
Accommodation is available locally.
Assessment Assessment is based exclusively on coursework. Candidates for the Diploma do not undertake the dissertation. The course is continuously assessed. The assessment process enables course members to achieve the learning outcomes through examination of work based issues. Course members are allocated a personal tutor from a similar professional background.
