FAQ

Face-to-Face Course

Yes, you would need to take the full 5 days, Monday - Friday.

We advise taking the full course (all subjects) in order to maximise the benefits of the short 5-day course, especially as the subjects complement and support one another. However, we understand that this is not possible for everybody, so we do allow each student to select the subjects they wish to take in order to tailor the learning to their individual requirements.

Please note that priority will be given to those who book the full course (all subjects).

Please complete your booking form with your desired subjects. You will receive an email with the balance alongside payment details. We will then be in touch in due course to confirm the timetable!

Your space on the course is not confirmed until full payment is received, so we advise you to make the payment as soon as possible! Our final deadline for payments is 23:59 on the 27th January 2023. If we have not received the payment by this date, sadly we will not be able to offer you a place on the course.
