How do I get started?

Fill in the registration form and we'll be in touch within 3 working days.

I didn't complete a BUES-accredited undergraduate degree- can I still apply?

Yes, though you'll need to submit additional documentation with your CASES application, including degree transcripts, Appendix 1 (Non-BUES Degree Evidence of Knowledge Template) and Appendix 2 (Laboratory Experience Template). Michael can advise on this during your initial conversation.

What if I miss a session?

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, just let us know in advance and we'll find an alternative time, the programme is built to work around your professional commitments

What's included in the portfolio review?

Before you submit to CASES, Michael will conduct a full review of your completed portfolio and provide detailed written feedback, so you can be confident it meets the required standard before it goes in.

What do I need to bring to my first session?

Nothing formal. Your first session is a chance to get to know Michael, talk through where you are in your portfolio journey, and agree a plan. If you've already started your portfolio, it's helpful to have it to hand, but it's not essential.

Are all sessions fully online?

Yes. All one-to-one and group sessions take place online, so there's no need to travel regardless of where you're based in the UK or internationally.

How often will I meet with Michael?

A one-to-one session every month, plus access to small group sessions throughout the programme, and ongoing support with your portfolio development between sessions.

How long does Supervised Experience take?

This varies depending on your circumstances and caseload, but CASES Supervised Experience is typically completed over a minimum of two years. Michael will work with you to plan a realistic, manageable timeline.

How do I find a CASES Registered Supervisor?

Michael is listed on the CASES Registered Supervisor directory. Once you've registered your interest through this page, we'll guide you through the contracting process so everything is ready in time for the September window.

Do I need to be registered for CASES Supervised Experience before I join?

Not necessarily. You're welcome to register your interest ahead of the September 2026 window and we'll help you get everything in place. You will need your CASES registration confirmed and a supervisor contract signed before Supervised Experience officially begins.
