Training for PGR supervisors

Supervisors of PGR students must attend training for new PGR supervisors or refresher training every five years. The training process includes a short Moodle course and a live synchronous workshop.

Existing supervisors who have completed the new supervisor training can choose from various workshop options for refresher training. For information on available training workshops, please refer to the ASDP teaching workshops page.
