Standards of education and training: pre-consultation workshop (students)

The standards of education and training (SETs) are designed to ensure that learners are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and experience that they need to deliver safe and high-quality care.

We’re currently reviewing the SETs to make sure they're up-to-date with current practice. In the pre-consultation phase, we work with a range of stakeholders to gather insights.

We invite all students and learners on HCPC-approved programmes to take part in an online workshop to share their thoughts.

We want to hear about learners' needs and experiences and what they want to see from their education providers.

Attendees will be asked to share their views through answering a series of questions relating to key themes.
