How to apply
The application process is straightforward. Read the instructions carefully and complete the form. Occasionally, we have to ask applicants to re-submit; this is usually because they have not included sufficient depth and detail to show their understanding of the course and their commitment to it. We want you to succeed and will support you in any way we can.
The application window for the Spring 2025 Cohort is now open!
Please select the relevant application form link based on the programme lead provider. We encourage early application due to limited funded places. You can check with the DfE if your school is eligible for funding via this link. Your school can of course elect to fund your NPQ programme.
All LSSW applicants must also complete a separate DfE registration (opening Mid February 2025).
