Publications and Policies
Below you can find for download, documents which are useful for the Foundation Programme Malta.
Trainee handbooks
The most recent publication of the Foundation Programme Malta Office has been the Foundation Programme Guidebook. This publication gives a very down to earth insight into Foundation training in Malta, with useful tips by the Foundation docdtors themselves. You may download the Guidebook here.
This handbook was modelled on the UK Foundation Programme Rough Guide, but was edited specifically to fit to the local Programme.
The Foundation Programme Malta is the same as the UK Foundation Programme and is affiliated to it. Thus the same Curriculum for Foundation Training is used.
Curriculum resources can be found in the Curriculum section of this site.
Reference Guide
Curriculum delivery is based on a Reference Guide. In 2012, this was updated, and the new document can be found here.
E-Portfolio
