Booking a course

Before applying for a course, please consider what you want to achieve and how you will apply skills acquired to your every day job. We recommend discussing this with your line manager and/or Head of School/Unit.

Courses are booked through Core by following the instructions on each course description web page.

Participants selected to attend a course will be notified by e-mail.

Selection Criteria

The selection of applicants for courses may be based on some or all of these criteria:

  • order in which registrations are approved by head of unit or manager 
  • your reasons for participating 
  • how well the outcomes align with the skillset required in your current role
  • what training you have attended previously
  • how well the learning and skills from the course will be applied and supported in the workplace (as evidenced by you and your manager)
  • balance of schools/units, grades and gender on each course
