· The work-based nature of the assessments
· The explicit timetable of events for each stage / level of the programmes
· The support mechanisms available to students at each stage / level
· The expertise of the staff involved in the running and support of the programmes

The courses are delivered by HOSPA, in association with its training provider Arena4finance Ltd.
