When are courses run?

Courses are run continuously usually in the first couple of weeks of each month. Course numbers are restricted to 10 to optimise the learning outcome.

No course is cancelled due minimum numbers.

Unfortunately we have to advise that due to the unknown numbers for refresher courses. The 1DAY STANDBY REFRESHER COURSES require three students to make them viable. Regrettably courses with less than 3 students will be cancelled.

We will do our best to accommodate students on a cancelled course on an alternate class.
