Of course you can! All of our courses have a set agenda which always contains plenty of room for discussion and breaks whilst ensuring course material is delivered in a timely and effective manner.

On many occasions we have provided a place to work for many of our students until they decide to move on further than The Academy and our network of studios throughout the country.

We ask that any outstanding balance which is left before the start of a course after paying a deposit would be paid 14 days before the course begins.
