Hi netball123, Yes, I do think you stand a chance of getting an interview if you submit a good application form with your current and (hopefully) post-graduation experience. And no, it's not all mainly "older people" with reams of experience who get the places! In my training cohort, our age span (a...

I'll post a link on here to the rel...

Absolutely yes, Early Years teacher is seen as relevant experience. What makes you concerned that it might not be? It is still an educational setting; EPs do not work just in 'school' (5-16) settings, but are expected to work across - and therefore have skills and experience across - all kinds of se...

They are separate things, and you might risk sounding as if you haven't done your homework...

Just a quick post to say thank you BlueCat for posting this here (and other places) and highlighting the lack of specific professional supervision requirements/guidance in the Standards of Proficiency. I alerted my colleagues at work to this, and we spent part of our last team meeting re-clarifying ...

Hi there, Apologies for not having been around on this board for such a long time - workload has been absolutely crazy for much of this (academic) year, and by the time I get to the end of the day switching on my laptop and staying in 'work mode' has been a distant second choice to 'falling asleep o...

my 6,000 words is plenty of space to cover all that I have done! Please take care to note that the length of the personal statement is limited to 6,000 characters (including lines and spaces), not 6,000 words - you may not have as much space as you think :) (See P.32 of the application handbook)
