This afternoon I met with the team behind the proposed NPAs that were recently validated to agree what needs to be done to address the various validation conditions and recommendations. There’s a great deal to be done but we set short timescales to get the work done because I know many centres are awaiting these awards. We’re hoping for the awards to be validated at the end of April and available to centres from end-May.

Bill Brown (Lauder College) and Lorraine Johnson (James Watt College) are leading the developments.
