My DC started on the CAT scheme this year. Obviously it’s still early days but they are loving the programme and we have been impressed with the standard of teaching and the progress they have made so far.
My DC has never done the Associate Programme at Northern, so can’t comment on how the standard of teaching compares. However, they were a Mid Associate with RBS. We gave up their MA place to do the CAT scheme and do not have any regrets so far. 😊
