The author describes how Vision 21 remains innovative and responsive in the training it gives students, keeping up with an ever changing world. The article outlines new developments within Vision 21, looks at the courses it offers, and describes how this year it has launched a new Annual Awards scheme as a way of recognising its achievements.
