The procedures below replace the former College requirements for the completion of CASLAT. Procedures are summarised below for both new lecturers and lecturers who have undertaken some teacher training under the CASLAT programme.

The collated information of workshops and peer observations will be used as evidence of fulfilment of the teacher training requirements. A mid-probation review will be undertaken during year 2 of probation. This will involve the Academic Adviser and Director of Undergraduate Studies.
