by Ravi Nekoo, Parames K & Kevin Joshua

ONLINE SUPPORT ** Registered with ATC before/by 31st July 2022

You have access to our online community – a closed

Facebook Group “ATC CLP 2022/2023”, which consists
of all our CLP lectures & students. Contrary to popular
belief, you don’t have to study the CLP all alone, join this
Group NOW to be part of a shared learning experience and
make meaningful connection with your CLP cohort.

Also, connect directly with the Head of our

CLP Department through monthly 1-1
Support Sessions to discuss any CLP-related
issue you may be facing.
