The Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education
As part of our philosophy we believe that all new educators or trainers should receive academic recognition of the work required to achieve this status. The Nottingham Trent University Postgraduate Certificate inClinical Education represents an opportunity for the LETB to recognise the professional development of their educators..
Upon satisfactory completion of the Postgraduate Certificate you will become eligible to proceed on to a Trainer approval visit, and also to move on to further study at Masters Level if you so desire.
