Frequently Asked Questions

  • After I have paid what happens next?

  • If I select an accommodation package when do I pay?

  • If I am splitting my package courses up do I have to pay in full?

    Absolutely not! We recognise that not everyone is able to commit to 3 or 4 weeks continuous training for a variety of reasons and it would be unrealistic to take full payment under these circumstances.
