2. When can I start delivering my course?
When your Centre Recognition application has been approved, you will be invoiced for the appropriate fee. Alongside this process, your Development Manager will also work with you to put together and approve your course. You can start delivering your course when it has been approved.
Once you have paid the Centre Recognition fee, you will be given your login details for your SharePoint site (a secure web portal which contains all the information you need to work with us), and you can then access your Course and Learner Registration Form. You need this form to register your learners.
3. When will I get my Centre Recognition certificate?
