HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT COURSE SCHEDULES?

 

The school website has all the information you need. We don't print term-time schedules in hard copy although we may produce a fold-out brochure of winter and summer schools as and when these courses occur. Term schedules are updated at around mid-way through each preceeding term.

 

 

HOW DO I ENROL IN A COURSE?

 

From your chosen course page, click the 'Book Now' text beside the course cost. This will take you to a booking page.

Go to our 'Courses / Overview' page where you will see indications of course levels. These are simply our recommendations and you may enrol at a level that you feel is most appropriate. You must also consider whether a course falls on a day or time that suits you. We are always happy to answer your questions if you are still unsure.
