Our range of leisure and hobby courses keeps growing, with even more fun and exciting courses starting throughout 2024.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This is a new course and is under development by the exam board. Therefore, there is limited information to share at this point. We will continue to update the website, as we get more information.
We have been very successful at delivering this course in previous years but we had to remove it as it was no longer funded by the government. It is now being reinstated and we are excited about having it back on our curriculum.
