Experienced practitioners with greater autonomy and relevant advanced practice or supervisory responsibilities. We check your responsibilities, experience and access to workplace evidence before enrolment. Job title alone does not determine suitability.

Evidence should reflect your responsibilities and the qualification requirements. It may include observations of practice, professional discussions, reflective accounts, witness testimony and appropriate workplace documents. Your assessor agrees an individual assessment plan with you.

Knowledge tasks and assessment plans are available through your e-portfolio. Practical competence is assessed through planned workplace evidence and observation. Completion requires all relevant knowledge and practical assessment requirements to be met, followed by quality assurance.

Your appointed assessor introduces the programme and e-portfolio, helps plan your evidence and provides guidance and feedback. Learning and assessment arrangements are agreed around the qualification and your needs.

Duration depends on your prior knowledge, responsibilities, access to evidence and the time you can commit. We agree realistic expected timescales before you enrol.

Delivery is subject to assessor availability in your location. Contact us to check coverage and agree suitable arrangements before enrolment.
