Postgraduate Tutor's training

The request was partially successful.

Dear University of York,

I am interested in the training Postgraduates who teach [PGWTs] receive before they are allowed to teach. I would like to know (for each department where PGWTs are used)

1. How many mandatory hours of training must PGWTs complete before they are allowed to teach or offer instruction of any kind?

2. Of those hours, how many of them are spent on training PGWTs to be able to mark student's work [i.e essays, exam papers, etc.]

I am only interested in 'mandatory' hours that PGWTs must complete, rather than any voluntary training that is offered. Where possible, please break down the data by type of PGWT role [i.e. does a Science lab assistant require different training to other Science PGWT roles?]

The data could be collected from the current Chairs of the Graduate Board of Studies fairly quickly. Where possible, please include the information for the academic years 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015.

Yours faithfully,

John Fox.
