What is the difference between award application and registration?
When you enrol at a university to undertake a postgraduate course of study you complete an application form which the teacher education services department will review. Upon acceptance of the application, applicants’ names will be added to the database of award applicants. Upon successful completion of a course of study, you are eligible to register for an award by completing a registration form and submitting this with the relevant fee. Once the registration process has been completed you will be sent a formal certificate of recognition by post, and if you do not already have an OCC account as a consequence of currently working in an IB World School or candidate school, you will receive continued access for a further period of two years.
