By the way, have you been working in the UK prior to joining the OSPAP?
I suppose the other issue upon approval would the challenge in finding a pre-reg placement.... *sigh*... |
I managed to work as a technician for a few months.
From what I hear and saw on the adverts all four courses are very different not only in content but also in learning methods and possibly even different assessment methods. You can access the RGU course structure and assessments on its website somewhere on
The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
I assume the others also have this information but I haven't looked, if I were you I would contact the schools who can send you a prospectus.
Pre-reg is a good idea, most places close applications in June and July, so you need to apply well before you start the course otherwise it will be stressful looking for a place just after you have started the course and finding them all gone. It's quite a hassle because most employers expect a reference from a university tutor, which is not easy if you have been out of education for some time, although should be easy for you. The other one is a reference from an employer, which may be a problem for you but there is some flexibility. Pre-reg in Scotland and Wales is centralised I think and applications close in May June, so I did not even get a chance to apply, as had not decided to do the course till July last year.
