LWTT is a voluntary organisation, a recognised charity and company limited by
           guarantee.   Its primary purpose is to provide work-based training in Community
           Learning and Development.   It is managed by a board of directors made up of
           representatives of funding organisations, the University of Glasgow, students and
           independent members.

  What are the entrance requirements?

   There are no formal qualifications required for entry to this programme.
            Entrance is made on the basis of the candidate's ability to evidence their history
            of voluntary and/or paid community development practice.  An assessment of
            the candidate's ability to meet the academic demands of the course work will be
            made at interview.

  The programme provides full time community development posts into which local
            people are appointed and receive an appropriate salary.   Much of the student's
            time is spend on community development work on behalf of their employer.   The
            practical experience of doing the job forms the basis the education and training
            programme.  It is also recognised as providing work-based learning so students
            achieve their qualification within the allotted time.   Over the period, there is an
            equal balance between work and academic study.

  What is the time commitment?

   The time commitment runs to approximately 1.5 days per week.   If you are a full
            time worker this will of course mean that your time spent in your workplace will
            amount to the balance of 3.5 days per week.  The other time commitments are as
