Other Info

Other Info
In general, we will not allow late enrolment to any course after the first two weeks. Learners are expected to arrive on time and attend every class.

Children are not allowed in our health & fitness courses unless they are specifically family learning classes. Please do not ask your tutor to give your child access as they do not have the authority to do this.

Health and Safety requirements demand that all learners participating in health classes must be present for instructions on safe working practices. Therefore, latecomers who miss the first part of the session will be refused entry.


Students are encouraged to comment on the course. The tutor will distribute at least one student satisfaction survey where your views will feed back into the planning, teaching and learning of future courses.
