Suitable for careers education, PSHE, tutor time, independent research, alternative provision and post-16 students exploring practical careers that do not require a university degree.

Course titles and uses of the word “accredited” vary, so students are encouraged to verify training recognition, insurance acceptance and current professional requirements independently.
