What you can expect from the programme

Flexibility – whilst the course has a clear structure, it is not completely rigid. This enables us spend more or less time on particular areas and flex content to suit the needs of the group.​

Interaction – this is not a show and tell course! You’ll participate throughout & as the saying goes, the more you put in the more you’ll get out. ​

Challenge – we expect at times you’ll be pushed outside your comfort zone, but don’t worry, it’s part of the learning process. ​​
