A course to meet your needs.

We have designed this course to be bespoke to your needs. However, should there be 2 or fewer students interested in exploring your chosen title, we will be unable to run the second half of the workshop and you will be refunded these fees, or you can elect to take an hour of private tuition on your title.

Attend with a friend and save.

With our bring-a-buddy discount you and a friend can each save £20 on your fees. There is no limit to the number of friends who can use your referral code, meaning you could even come to the course for free!
