Becoming a Provider

Becoming an Institute of Teachers Endorsed Provider  

Institute of Teachers endorsed providers can offer Institute Registered continuing professional development. These courses and programs can be listed on the Institute’s Register for teachers and their schools to consider.

The Institute of Teachers has an endorsement process whereby providers can apply to become endorsed providers. Applications are considered by the Professional Learning Endorsement and Advisory Committee and their recommendation is forwarded to the Quality Teaching Council for endorsement.

Applications for endorsement as a provider of Institute Registered professional development must be received by the closing date for each meeting.

Closing dates for applications in 2009

Friday 16 January 2009

Friday 6 March 2009

Friday 17 April 2009

Friday 3 July 2009

Friday 28 August 2009

Friday 2 October 2009  

Where an application is received after the closing date, the application will be kept for the following closing date for the Professional Learning Endorsement and Advisory Committee’s consideration.

Please note:

Where a provider is applying for endorsement, their promotional material should not create the perception that because they are in the process of applying for endorsement the current professional development they are offering is Institute Registered professional development or that teachers will be able to retrospectively claim the activity as Institute Registered professional development.
