WORKBASED ROUTE • Seek employment


especially as the approved training providers really have reacted to our sectors request for greater flexibility in the delivery of the respected qualifications and courses. It should also be noted that professional bodies


such as BIGGA and IOG are looking to provide short courses to complement the more formal courses and often are subsidized through either sponsorship or their own education budgets. Pitchcare have also entered the training provider market, again filling a market need and designed to complement the formal qualification framework.
