A registered higher education provider may apply in writing to the college for the approval of a preservice teacher education program.

The college must decide whether to approve the program as soon as practicable after receiving the application. If the college approves the program, it must give the applicant notice of the approval. If the college decides not to approve the program, it must give the applicant an information notice about the decision. An approval of a program given by the college under this section has effect only in relation to the professional practice requirements for provisional registration under this Act. s 236 amd 2014 No. 25 s 223 sch 1 pt 2 (sec.236-ssec.1) A registered higher education provider may apply in writing to the college for the approval of a preservice teacher education program.
