Here is what is required to support every application and I am happy to receive scanned email copies:

• Your statement of entry from NMC/HCPC

Kate (year 2 student May 2018)

This programme has opened the door to my own teaching ability, fostered my enthusiasm and motivation for personal professional development, with the aim to be a teacher of the highest standard. Overall I am thrilled at nearing completion of this programme which has transformed my understanding of a teaching role and has developed my approach to teaching, assessment and curriculum development. To become recognised by the HEA is both an honour and a privilege. This formal recognition provides credibility for my future teaching role.

Joyce (year 2 student May 2018)

I now have a different view of myself as a teacher. I have learned a significant amount about teaching and learning, evaluation, curriculum development and quality assurance. I feel more confident and capable…and view myself as a dual professional. The professional drivers that are influential in my development as a teacher are the NMC quality assessment framework…HEA and QAA. Having reflected on the requirements of the HEA in relation to Fellowship, I believe I have achieved these and enjoyed the process. Overall I have learned the value of CPD in relation to my teaching.

Great to see the year 2 students embracing their (nearly) new profession as teachers in a lively academic debate.  Just one more successful academic assessment then this group will be able to record HEA Fellow and NMC teacher next to their names.

Some quotations gathered from the year 1 PgC EAPS student  cohort today

Excellent (course) for AHPs (Kirsty radiographer and year 1 student)

An excellent way to spend your day off- Fantastic module (Maria nurse educator and year 1 student)

Links educational theory to practice and has helped me reflect on practice and make changes (Jane Health Visitor and year 1 student)

Hard work but very rewarding, great opportunity to work with motivated professional. Lots of learning ( anon year 1 student)

Organisation is key, I struggled but kept going. Still hoping to see the light ( anon year 1 student)

As an AHP a really enlightening experience in higher educational approaches outwith my own field ( anon year 1 student)

Good to see a growing interest in the PgC EAPS mirrored in application forms being sent my way.  As a career change, development or interest, undertaking the PgC EAPS will introduce you an evidence base for your teaching practice and entry into a secondary profession.
