What “Probationary Sponsor” status means for you
Academy of Live Technology Ltd is a Probationary Sponsor. It is fully licensed and can issue you a CAS, but it has not yet built up the compliance history needed for track-record status. Probationary sponsors face limits: they cannot sponsor students on postgraduate doctor or dentist foundation programmes, and their students are less likely to benefit from relaxed evidence requirements, so prepare full financial and English language documentation. Probationary status is normal for recently licensed institutions and is not a warning sign in itself — but because the rating can change, re-check this page shortly before you apply.
