Pre-Registration checks required for each professional course
Students accepted on to a professional course require a number of checks to be completed before they can register. The regulatory bodies governing your course require all applicants to undergo a DBS check and a "fitness to practice" assessment in the form of a medical questionnaire. In addition, students on certain courses are required to show evidence of immunisations and proof of having completed CPR training.
We start the process in early May and will contact you with instructions for completing your DBS. We will email the Medical Questionnaire to you and Immunisation Cards are mailed out to students who have obtained an offer to their course. Instructions are included on how to fill out the required documents and where to forward the completed forms.
