Start by looking at the FAQs as some basic info is here if you are starting to think about further study

STEP 1
Check dates & self score

1ST CHECK YOU CAN COMMIT TO TAUGHT DAYS & THE WORK: All attendance days, study time, placement time /costs, & travel time/ costs are expected to be in your own time via shifts swaps or leave. Funding is for the module fee only.

This is really important, as if you drop out and the place cannot be filled in time, the place will be lost & cannot be refunded.

Places cannot be deferred or rolled over. It is not possible to fund any retakes. 

Please read all Terms & Conditions here – you are agreeing to these when you sign up to any CPD course. 

Check that you meet the entry requirements for the module – these are stipulated by the university & will be detailed on their module pages.

Complete the online application form (including scores).

YOU WILL BE SCORING YOURSELF FROM NOW ON! All scores will be checked by your County Commander / nominated Line Manager & your County Business Manager

Terms & Conditions

STEP 2
Managers approve score

Your local management team will check and approve the scores. They will adjust any scores for accuracy, & also they will have the ability to give a priority score to 2 applicants, per county, per module.

They will then send the checked and approved scores back to CPD Admin, who will collate all the scores from each County for that module. CPD admin will then rank the scores, highest to lowest.

Timescales & Score Criteria

STEP 3
Enrolment with Uni.

Those with the highest score will be given funding. (If scores are the same, date & time of application will be used).

Once the approval process has been completed; you will receive an email to let you know if you have been granted funding or not. (We will aim to complete the process within 2 weeks of the application deadline closing).

This is really important

If you have been successful in securing funding, you will then need to register as a student with the University AND enrol on the module.

If you haven’t done this before, please follow the instructions sent to you in the funding approval email carefully, as it may have several steps.

Your offer for funding may be retracted if you don’t register & enrol with the university before stipulated deadlines or within a reasonable time-frame. 

Also, please don’t enrol if you aren’t sure you can attend.

If you haven’t been successful this time round, please keep an eye on your emails, as if anyone is removed from the approved list, we will often contact the next highest scoring applicant to see if they are available to take the place. When it is not possible to do this (when timescales are very tight), we will usually offer places out as first come first serve. We will usually advertise these places via the CPD newsletter.
