New 10 week courses

We understand that intellectual and personal development can be difficult, so we have designed courses which take our learners on a gradual journey of discovery and self-development; one step at a time. This is why we do not provide a "one for all" programme, but instead offer our learners differentiated courses which suit them, to ensure a positive learning experience and progress.
Starting Saturday December 3rd 2016 | 1 Hour per week | £30 per course
