The primary locus of Post Ordination Training is in the parish with the training
incumbent. However, this training is given a broader perspective by the training
course delivered in the episcopal areas, which includes a triennial diocesan
residential conference. The principles and expectations of POT are outlined
in the booklet Post Ordination Training in the Diocese of London. Those who
are in the first three years of ordination and licensing are expected to participate
fully in the programme that is made available. In some episcopal areas Continuing
Formation, a voluntary programme of support and training, is offered to those
who continue as curates or assistant staff.
