Refreshing the CMI MOD offer
We are currently revising the CMI offer to the MOD described on these pages and therefore the information on this website will be changing.
The last certification dates for each of the Defence Academy courses is 28th February 2021. After this date, unless new mapping is in place, this programme will not be associated with a CMI qualification but the programme will be recognised and a recognised certificate issued.
