College of Occupational Therapists' Learning and Development Standards for Pre-Registration Education

This new publication combines the two previous documents: the 2008 Curriculum guidance and Education standards for pre-registration education. This publication outlines the standards and requirements for education providers to meet for College of Occupational Therapists accreditation of their pre-registration programmes. It explains the entry-level profile of an occupational therapist and uses this to give guidance on the design of curricula for higher education institutions. The standards support and facilitate the development of a programme suitable to meet the requirements of the regulatory body in the UK, as well as being approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists.
