As a former Accreditor with the late lamented ILTHE, I don't actually
think gaining Registered Practitioner status is quite the same as having
successfully completed an accredited programme. One does not really know
whether the Registered Practitioner status will continue for much longer
through the HEA - I get conflicting accounts from those who know more
about this.
It's back to that assessment conundrum - is writing well about good
teaching/learning/assessment practice to be taken as evidence of good
teaching/learning/assessment practice? Not entirely.
