Having chosen to distance myself from Strode's College, they have become interested in us working together (treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen, we would have said in my more boisterous days!).
The Director of Continuing Education has now suggested that we get the course accredited for EdExel WorkSkills, which will allow them to obtain funding for jobseekers.
On the plus side, any accreditation will add value to a start-up business and it will cost me nothing (no cash - it will cost me time!).
On the downside, what they are after bears no resemblance to my course but is all about a strange version of skills requirements - a quote from the guidance book 'they can watch videos of 'Dragon's Den' to identify skills used by successful entrepreneurs'. Really? What planet are they on?
Overall, I think it must be worth doing - cue the inevitable paper avalanche...
