My line manager and I have reviewed the Key Facts Document and the Learning Outcomes for the programme I am applying for and agree that I'm in the right role for this programme.
I'm aware that I'll need time during working hours to complete this programme and my line manager has confirmed they can support me with this. If I'm in a front facing role, I've also followed the normal approvals process in my area for external learning programmes.
I am aware that I will need to attend an induction and complete some learning activities on the start date of the programme.
If you do not already hold GCSE (or equivalent) grade 4 (C) or above in English Language and Maths or are unable to provide acceptable evidence of this, you will be required to undertake additional qualification(s) which must be achieved prior to the final assessment.
