Step 4: Await email confirmation of approval from HT T&L
Step 5: Apply for course through the course provider
Step 6: Forward on invoice / payment details to HT T&L for processing
Step 7: Attend course
Step 8: Share experience with your faculty / school
Above: A guide to applying for PL through School Bytes
Staff who wish to attend a PD course on a day in which they are not at school may be approved, however it should be noted that you will not be paid for attending.
TPL funds will not be used to attend evening conference dinners. If staff wish to attend then you must fund this out of your own pocket and then claim this expense as part of your own tax return.
TPL application must be submitted a minimum of two weeks prior to the scheduled event. This is so that we can ensure that cover can be sought as well as ensuring payments can be processed in time,
