In future other training organisations may be in a position to offer a similar type course but until such times we are restricted in our attempts and efforts to find anyone who offers the same or similar type of course. Verdancy is to be contracted as the sole supplier for the delivery of this unique, innovative and sector leading qualification for a period of 5 years to ensure continuity of service delivery to students.
