Covid-19 Information – Autumn 2020 Courses
We are planning to provide face-to-face lessons, using appropriate social distancing measures, with our new courses in September.
We’re following Government guidelines and advice as they become available. In the event of another lockdown or local outbreak all our classes will be taught online using Zoom video conferencing. Unfortunately, we will be unable to issue refunds to students who decide not to continue with online learning.
