As a minimum, External Team Member nominees should have:
• A thorough knowledge of the subject area;
• An understanding of recent developments in the subject discipline;
• Familiarity with the expectations of potential employers in the subject area
In order to participate in the validation of a Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship (RNDA) programme, External Team Member nominees should also have:

• Knowledge of relevant ESFA funding and compliance rules relating to apprenticeships
To preserve integrity of the process, External Team Member nominees should not:
• Be a current External Examiner for the University;
