Applications are accepted on a first come first served basis and if we reach capacity we will close the application window. If you would like to enrol on this course we recommend that you apply as soon as possible in order to secure a place.
Due to our large geographical spread and no charge for the course, the ITC is run using a hybrid approach of some face-to-face days and some online days using video conferencing platforms. To complete the course, full attendance at all teaching days is expected. Please check carefully and diarise the dates when you apply.
We use venues for the face-to-face days in both the Newcastle and Stockton areas. If there is enough of a cohort of North Cumbria Intending Trainers, we will also book a venue in that location. You will be sent the details of your face-to-face venue once fully enrolled.
