The list seems to be unchanged (from the original post).

Here's the official SK to confirm.

If in doubt we can ask @Jason_Tugwell to confirm or let us know if there are any changes, for the purpose of scheduling the training.

Hey Don,

Thanks for you reply, found the SK but just wanted to double check if there is anything new on the horizon 🙂

There's been no news apart from the new R82 courses (CCSA, CCSE and CPDA) and Specialist Courses (R82) will come later.

So it seems like status quo and the FAQ stands.

If Hacking Point is in focus then that is great, otherwise CTPS is a great Specialist course and option, if you haven't done that one.
