Please do not include training and/or qualifications that you are unable to complete before 28th February 2023 or if the training you require is not listed here.

As the new funding is not fully finalised, there will be an additional clause in the Terms & Conditions for Training Agreements dated from the 1st August 2022. If funding is not secured we with hold the right to withdraw the training agreement and not provided funding. This clause will be removed once the funding has been fully secured.
