FREE ENTRY

Early bird discount

To help out even more, as from the beginning of January 2012, we are offering an early bird discount off most courses booked and paid in full at least FOUR WEEKS in advance of the course start date. Unfortunately there are some courses arranged by outside organisations we cannot offer the discounts on, but these are marked with ‘No Discount’.


Bring a friend
By way of encouragement to bring a friend along we are also making an ‘introductory offer’, where an existing student introduces a new student to the college.  Both students will be sent a £10 voucher after the new student books and pays for a course. Unfortunately this does not apply to ’drop-in’ days.
