There are around 70 approved Spokes within the Academy network. Applications have been invited at regular intervals and the closing dates for the 2 further rounds this year are the 13th August 2010 and the 12th November 2010 for the existing regional Hubs (SW, NE, NW, EoE, EM, Y&H). Please use the links for the London & SE EoI round below to download the application form for any of the regions.
Due to the recent successful National Skills Academy Logistics (NSAL) proposal which is now moving forward into the business planning stage, the approval period of any spokes approved in these rounds will only run until 31st March 2011 and any membership fee will be charged on a pro-rata basis. Membership of the Logistics Academy will not necessarily guarantee membership of the NSAL as all spokes will need to re-apply at the appropriate time for NSAL membership.
