At the Council Meeting of November 2007 it was concluded that badging of courses for the ALS seal of approval does add value and should continue. 

1. When applicants submit courses to be badged they should complete the attached form, and send it to the ALS.
2. Any course should have clearly stated educational objectives and should also specify in detail the intended learning outcomes.
3. Course structure and contents should be appropriate to the stated objectives and outcomes and relevant to the needs of the participants.
4. An ALS representative should be entitled to attend any course which the ALS has badged or is being requested to badge.
5. Participants and faculty should be involved in the evaluation of each course on each occasion it runs and the evaluation submitted to the ALS with any recommendations for adaption/further development.
6. The ALS can recommend that a course be badged as it stands or suggest changes in order to badge it.
7. Should future courses have substantial changes to their format, resubmission would be necessary for repeat badging.
