Step one: Principal’s endorsement
No applicant can successfully register without the endorsement of a principal, or in the case of curriculum officers or transient specialised teachers, a direct supervisor. For more information about principal endorsement please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions.
Step two: Agree to terms and conditions
Successful registration will involve each applicant agreeing to the terms and conditions as outlined at registration. The terms and conditions outline program guidelines and protocols regarding professional behaviour, research and future use of program materials.

- acknowledge that if AITSL and/or UQ seek to use the above information beyond evaluation of the program (for example further research or promotion of the program), AITSL and/or UQ will seek permission from the individual participants concerned and inform a teacher’s current principal.
With the intent to guide and facilitate learning, AITSL and UQ reserve the right to monitor participant exchanges in the program, coach and model appropriate professional behaviour. UQ facilitators are required to alert AITSL if there are exchanges that are not in agreement with the professional guidelines and protocols agreed to at registration or in accordance with the terms and conditions.
