Punctuality in attendance on courses is important to us, as students who arrive late interrupt the learning experience for all learners.
In general, we will not allow late entry to any course after the first two weeks. Short intensive courses and most workshops will not accept new learners after the first class. In all cases the full fee will be charged.
