The professional training period takes place between Levels 2 and 3. Here is an outline of what happens before, during and after professional training. Basically, Dr Clark will advise on matters relating to construction of CVs etc. and will keep students informed of vacancies, deadlines and so on during Level 2. He will liaise with firms and organisations to arrange interviews.
Organisations have different deadlines for applications forms to be filled in.
Some firms like to have placements sorted out well before Christmas, whereas others leave it much later than that. So the process of finding a placement may be very quick or may continue virtually throughout Level 2. At the placement each student has a supervisor at the firm who oversees the student s progress. A de-briefing session for all students returning from professional training is held early in the Autumn semester. Failure to do so may affect your funding.
