You can have a support call by appointment, or you can just get in touch when you need to. It’s your call.

Other Information
The anatomy and physiology assessment (if you do not hold a level 2 qualification) must take place on a separate date to the exercise referral course dates, as we can’t fit it in during the programme. You’ll have to ask our careers team about exam dates and venues.
