Extra starting dates

The aim of the School of Educational Administration is to respond to the needs, wishes and interests of school administrators throughout the UK.   Sometimes we ask school administrators what they feel, but other times we understand their feelings by their actions.

One such case arose in January 2008 when Samantha Bates, the Director of Admissions for the SEA brought me the details of the number of students who had applied for a place on the National Certificate in Educational Administration course starting in January.

We did not have a problem - we were certainly able to accommodate everyone on the course - but we realised that with the number of applicants rising every term, there was every chance that with the next intake we would have to turn people away.

 We had started with one intake a year.  Then we went to an intake each term.  And now we are moving across to five intakes a year - with a priviso of a sixth if the level of applications rises even further.

The closing date for the National Certificate course’s next intake is January 28, with further intakes closing on March 10, May 6, June 23 and September 26. There are full details of the course on our main web site www.admin.org.uk

We also hope to increase the starting dates for our other courses, and details will be released shortly.
