Questions we get asked
Is the fee payable at once?
No, it is payable in instalments across the twelve weeks. Ask for the schedule when you enquire.
What if I miss classes?
Tell us in advance and we will fit you into the other batch for those sessions. Repeated absence without notice will put you behind, because the course builds week on week.
Will I practise on real people?
Yes, from about week three, always supervised. That is the part that makes the difference when you start working.
