Entrance
Procedure
- If you
are unsure about whether the course is suitable for you, or whether
you meet our entry criteria our admissions advisor is Dr Faith Gardner
(faith.gardner@lcom.org.uk)
- An informal
visit to the college to see the methods of training and discuss career
plans with members of the faculty by prior arrangement
- Application
should be made, as early as possible before intended admission, on the
College's form (available as a download). Depending on individual factors
applicants may be assessed for competence in English language and basic
clinical skills.
- After
the distance learning component of the course, the student needs to
pass the distance learning assessment before starting the clinic based
learning.
The college
charges a fee for the distance learning programme and the subsequent assessment
which is taken just prior to the intensive course.
Fees
- The distance
learning course and assessment fee is £300
- The fee
for both the standard and extended courses is £5700. Four equal
instalments are payable. The first instalment is payable upon accepting
the confirmed offer of a place and passing the distance learning assessment.
It also serves as a deposit to secure a place. The remaining three instalments
are spaced equally throughout the course.
