How to book your course
In general, you can book in person from Monday to Thursday, from 9.30 - 1.30pm, or by post. The point at which we start to take bookings varies from term to term. For January 2012 courses the new programme is available and we are now taking bookings. More information about booking on a course is found here and here is a link to the booking form.
It may be possible to enrol at the first class, but we can't guarantee a place and it is advisable to pre-book well in advance of the start date as courses with very low numbers may be cancelled prior to the first session.
Important Notice - Due to Fire Regulations there are strict limits on the number of students per classroom. Some classes may also have limited student numbers for educational reasons. It is therefore advisable to enrol as early as possible.
Fees
Fees for courses must be paid in full at the time of booking. For postal bookings you will only receive a receipt confirming your enrolment if you enclose a SAE. In each course description you will find two fees quoted:
2) Discounted: Multiple course discount - the full fee is reduced by 10%
