Proposed regulatory review
date of 30/07/2020.I think it is worth conducting a specific review of ICE.
We haven't properly looked at these qualifications since launch and candidate
numbers are not great. I think we need to make a decision about whether we
push or withdraw. On the subject of international qualifications, it is
categorised in the database as Speech - SEND. It is not explciitly clear that
we offer it abroad. So, it is an assumption that we don't. |
