Although Unit 4 (the Record of Teaching Practice) is assessed at least six months in advance of taking the examination for Unit 5, it is integral to the process leading to Unit 5 and must be taken in conjunction with preparation for that Unit. A regular schedule of courses and examinations for Unit 5 is offered annually at the RSCDS Summer School at St. Andrews. Otherwise, Branches run courses according to local need. At a Branch the minimum number of candidates to be presented for Unit 5 is six. If there are fewer than six candidates, all costs must be borne by the Branch unless prior permission to do otherwise has been obtained from the Education & Training Committee, or unless the minimum of six is made up by candidates for Units 2 and 3 sitting at the same time. At Summer School the course for Unit 5 is run over a fortnight with the examination held at the end of the second week. All Records of Teaching Practice (Unit 4) must be received at Headquarters no later than 6 months in advance of the date of the examination for Unit 5. Applications to sit Unit 5 at a Branch or approved centre must be received at Headquarters no later than 6 weeks in advance of the date of examination for Unit 5 Applications to sit Unit 5 at Summer School must be received at Headquarters no later than 1st February.
