Questions

How is this title awarded?

Through a workplace simulation before a panel of practitioners, together with a professional portfolio recording what you actually produced. An occupation is proven by practising it, not on paper.

What employment rate do you publish?

None, and that is deliberate: no cohort has yet completed this title. The six-month employment rate is this family's own indicator, and we will publish it once a cohort has produced one — not before. An invented figure here would be the first thing an employer checks.
