If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, IFT required students to reach a satisfactory level of proficiency in English Language prior to starting the programme. Evidence of your proficiency in spoken English will be required with your application form.
The standard requirement is an IELTS score of 6.5, TOEFL 580 (or 237 in the TOEL computer based test, plus 4 in the essay writing), or the AEB Test in English for Educational Purposes.
Please specify subjects, place of study, years of study and qualifications gained, beginning with the most recent. (You will need to provide us with proof of qualifications before you are allowed to start the course).
'Families' is interpreted in the widest sense and may include foster families, adopters or wider family networks. This must be work in which you are doing the face to face interaction and leading the session with the family.
Acceptance on the course will not be confirmed until you have confirmed your ability to fulfil this requirement. Please note that the Institute does not provide trainee placements. Trainees who require practice placements or supervision must make their own arrangements.
Please complete the reference details below for a professional referee who can comment on your work with families/children. Please ask for their permission to provide a reference before supplying their details.
An administration fee of £45 must accompany this application. This is non-refundable.
If your application is successful, documentation regarding payment of fees will be sent to you. Applicants will be asked to indicate whether they will pay their own fees or if their employers will be responsible for payment. Payment by instalment is available to self-payers only.
Trainees will only be enrolled once payment has been received, or official confirmation of payment has been received from employers.
Trainees on IFT courses are governed by IFT's policy on course fees.
IFT registration takes place on the first day of the course. Once registered with IFT, trainees become liable for the full course fee. In the event of students failing to complete the course for any reason, including voluntary withdrawal or deferment on notice, they will remain liable for the full fee. All withdrawals/deferments must be stated in writing.
