Last time i enquired after this i was told that the wing was not pursueing
it unless it was rolled out nationally. Each wing would have to set up
as
a BTEC centre, which is much much paperwork and hassle. The public
services BTEC has come along now, and is more favoured because i believe
it
has it's own office which has done the hard work.
I could be mistaken of course!
