Our BD Team will provide you with more information about becoming an approved centre, and will look more closely at your business plan and other factors to decide if you should progress to the application phase.
If you are recommended to proceed to the next stage, you will be supplied with a copy of our application form.

After confirmation that you have met our requirements, we will send out confirmation of approval and you will be able to register learners with us.
