A tertiary qualification in any field of study is required. However, under special circumstances the Director of Training may make exceptions to this requirement based on other studies, work or life experience. In the case of applicants from non- English-speaking countries, qualifications must be translated into English and certified by an accredited translator.
Candidates will be considered for admission after completion of the application form and on receipt of all supporting documentation including
- CV (outlining academic and employment history).
