The ELAP has been structured with you own personal education, training and development journey in mind. Participants can select from a range of mandatory and optional components that can be taken over a three (3) year period.
Full details are available on the ARMS website and a brief summary is provided below.
The program utilises a points-based system, enabling the acknowledgment of prior learning and formal education obtained from sources external to ARMS (subject to specific criteria). Did you also know that those individuals that have been accredited at the Foundation Level will automatically receive 25 points credited towards their ELAP progress? This allocation constitutes 25% of the total 100 points required for program completion and is classified as assessed points.
Elements
The three (3) compulsory elements encompass:
1. a Leadership, Management and Strategic Thinking Program;
2. three (3) content specific Electives; and
3. nine (9) hours of group learning opportunities.
Additionally, participants are required to complete:
4. other ARMS assessed programs (e.g., FLAP); and
5. other non-assessed programs including those outside of ARMS.
Upcoming Electives
- Research funding: A Pathway to Best Practice
- Due Diligence and Governance Considerations
Additional Electives will be introduced in 2024 to increase the suite of available Electives and enable participants to further their content-specific learning.
Leadership, Management and Strategic Thinking Program
A recently updated Leadership program, tailored to align with the requirements of current participants, is scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2024.
