Please note - these courses run for 3 days (9am - 5pm) - please ensure you can attend ALL sessions before booking

The working portfolio will need completing during the video tuition and so a computer/ laptop with a steady internet connection is recommended.
The tutor will not be able to halt the course if a candidate drops offline for an extended period of time.
This course does not lend itself to being completed on a small device such as a mobile phone as there are a mix of exercises you will be asked to complete both individually and as a group; multiple choice, detailed responses and the drafting of lesson plans.
