Who should attend?
Independent chairpersons, principals and other interviewers nominated by the Board of Management. In particular, it is intended for those who were unable to attend this training last year.
This training is not for teachers who are likely to apply for a post.
It is critical to the success of the interview process, to minimise the possibility of appeals, that all members of the interview board have attended this training. It is essential that independent chairpersons employed by the school attend this training now or have attended it last year.
This training module is different to the interview competency training for principal and deputy principal interviews.
