<\/a>\n
The map shows that demand for Foundation training is concentrated around the UK’s main population centres, with particularly strong hotspots across Greater London and the South East<\/strong>, the West Midlands<\/strong>, Greater Manchester\/Lancashire<\/strong>, West Yorkshire<\/strong>, and the Central Belt of Scotland<\/strong>. There are also notable clusters in East Anglia<\/strong>, South Wales<\/strong>, Bristol<\/strong>, Devon and Cornwall<\/strong>, reflecting the nationwide reach of Foundation Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n Overall, the existing network of 39 in-person training venues<\/strong> aligns reasonably well with areas of highest demand, particularly across southern England and the Midlands. However, the map also highlights areas where demand appears less well served, including parts of East Anglia<\/strong>, the North East of England<\/strong>, mid-Wales<\/strong>, and some more rural regions. While online training clearly reaches candidates across the UK, the map suggests there are still opportunities for additional local training provision in a handful of areas where demand exists but relatively few in-person training options are available.<\/p>\nHandy Links<\/h3>\n
