Will this CPD be online or is attendance at University required?
Hi,
I’m really interested in the GEP and will be graduating in July 2012 with a degree in childhood and youth studies. I just wanted to ask what the closing date is for applications? And how much does the course actually cost?
Thanks
Hi Mary
I can answer that, the course is a contact based course so some face-to-face time will be required. The majority of the time though is self-study and placements. Lindy or Jill (identified in the post) will be able to give you more info on that though.
Hi Amy
In all honesty I don’t know when the cut-off date is but as far as I’m aware you can still apply now. All information about the course including application form can be found at http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/study/courses/early-years-professional-status but as the post states, if you contact Lindy of Jill I’m sure they will be able to answer your question. The SU are just advertising the course you see, we’re not the experts in it
Kind regards
Elliott
Oh and the course is free. In fact students on the course receive a £3.5k bursary, I think it is highly likely the government will pull the plug on it very soon though which is why we’re pushing it to students now while it still exists and is funded.
