Documents required

Listed before the fee, so you can confirm that the required evidence is available before paying.

What is required

Only 3 documents. Everything below is optional, and a submission is complete without it.

  1. Incorporation or registration document The document that evidences the registration number above. PDF or image · up to 12.0 MB
  2. Full curriculum or programme handbook The document a prospective student would be given. This is read in full by the reviewer. PDF or Word · up to 12.0 MB
  3. Diplomas and qualification certificates of the teaching staff At least the programme lead and the lead clinical supervisor. Attach as many as you wish; a scan or a photograph is enough. PDF, image, Word or ZIP · up to 12.0 MB
Helpful, but not required 10 documents

A submission is complete without these. Each one gives the reviewer something to credit rather than something to assume.

  • Core reading list
  • Faculty appointment and development policy
  • Assessment appeals procedure
  • Student handbook
  • Code of ethics or ethical framework
  • Safeguarding and client-risk policy
  • Client and student complaints procedure
  • Certificate of insurance
  • Specimen of the diploma or certificate graduates receive
  • Most recent student satisfaction survey

Where a public record exists, the submission asks for its link instead of a copy. Sections can be saved before they are complete.
