The appraisal process

Once Candidates have been accepted, they are subject to a process of regular appraisal. This is the process by which the Church assure themselves that all aspects of training have been completed in a satisfactory fashion.

No Candidate can proceed to the next stage of training without the previous year having been commended at an annual appraisal. Interim and Final Probationer Appraisals are conducted and must be completed satisfactorily before Probationers can seek an appointment and ordination. This appraisal process does not at present apply to Candidates for the Readership.
