Programme information
The SSAT Applications and Interviews modules provide practical support for anyone applying for senior leadership positions.
There are two online modules, the first covers the application process and writing a successful application.
The second addresses what to expect on interview, offering guidance and the opportunity for practicing responses to common questions. Modules are supported by inter-sessional activities and resources.
The modules are led by the SSAT Education Team and practising school leaders. We hope these modules will help you not just get a job, but to want the job you get – ensuring it is a good fit.
