Trial classes and enrolment

Start with the right fit.

New students may begin with a paid trial class before enrolling in a full 6-week programme. The trial allows the student and teacher to assess suitability, current understanding and areas requiring support.

Places are confirmed once programme payment has been received. Existing students receive priority when renewing for the next programme.
