APC PROGRAMME

For First Timers
FULL OVERVIEW

First Time Candidates who have already passed the ITC

The majority of Candidates eligible to write the 2022 APC are those who; (a) have passed the ITC before our Programme commences; (b) will have completed 20 months of traineeship by 18 December; and (c) have not previously completed an APC Programme. These Candidates simply must complete an APC Programme in 2022 and will expect to pass the Programme and write the APC in December.

Programme Structure

Throughout the Programme, Candidates:

  • Receive Online input.
  • Can download video recordings of all classes.
  • Are required to complete various Online assignments.
  • Perform Self Assessments on their work. This component of our Programme is of critical importance because Self Assessment enables Candidates to develop a deep understanding of the Assessment Process.

Candidates’ progress on the Programme is carefully graduated.
The Programme is divided into seven modules plus CPD Modules. Module 1 is essentially developmental (formative), Modules 2 and 3 continue development but add formal assessment (introducing summative assessment but still principally formative), Module 4 enables further development at a higher level, Modules 5 and 6 focus on formal assessment (summative) and Module 7 is revision.

INTERVENTIONS

Classes are Online except where otherwise indicated. Various interventions are offered throughout the Programme. These include Motivation and Coaching Sessions, Guided Grading Sessions, Focus Group Consultations, CPD and Workshops on Technical Issues, Critical Thinking, Auditing and eWriting.

All of our 11 Classes are followed by Online Question and Answer Sessions.
