Middlesex University and Real Training are reviewing the programme which is due for re-validation in December 2022. We have decided we are likely to be making changes to the programme and we had hoped to bring forward the re-validation to November 2021. However due to the impact of the pandemic on our capacity we cannot now bring forward this re-validation and we will therefore consult and plan for updates and a probable re-validation in December 2022.
Given that we now know there are likely to be changes we have therefore decided that it is in the best interests of potential delegates that we do not take on new people. We have therefore decided to suspend new enrolments onto the programme. This means that unfortunately we will not be able to enrol new delegates onto the 15 October 2021 cohort.
Delegates who have joined the programme will continue to be fully supported by Middlesex University and Real Training to complete their studies. We will consult current delegates who are also Middlesex University students, about any changes or proposed improvements to the programme.
