I feel like I may have missed the deadline for this. Does the course really start tomorrow? Will the next round of applications start in 2017?
Dear Devangana, Alas, yes, you have missed the deadline. The next course begins on 1 January 2017, and the application process for that course begins on 1 October 2016. Please would you apply then?
