Learn about becoming a Practice Educator

All student speech and language therapists are required to complete 450 hours of clinical practice in order to be eligible to graduate and register with CORU to practise as a Speech and Language Therapist. This recommendation is echoed by IASLT’s Education Board which also accredits university programmes.  IASLT and its members have a strong and consistent record of supporting student placements.  Practice educators should have a minimum of 2 years post qualification experience.
