New courses for 2026-27
The 2026-27 academic year sees significant changes to some AAT and CMI specifications, plus new additions to Mindful Education’s course and apprenticeship portfolio.
Preparing for updated specifications
When awarding organisations make changes to course specifications, we update our virtual learning environments (VLEs) so that learners and tutors always have access to up-to-date information and materials.
Preparing for new course specifications can be arduous and time consuming for delivery teams. Mindful Education does this work so our partners don’t have to, allowing them to save time and reduce the risk that comes with teaching new qualifications.
