Things we could not confirm

  • The page does not give a closing date; the page was last updated 05 February 2024.
  • Courses are for individuals, and the text does not say businesses can apply directly; employers can share the courses with staff.
  • Telephone 0800 100 900 is given on the page.
  • The text names the Area as the North East areas listed, but the source is a North East Growth Hub page.
