‘VIRTUAL LIVE’ COURSE DELIVERY

If you cannot attend a classroom lesson due to work, travel, or family commitments you can still benefit from having a structured Live Online classroom approach.

You will have timetabled live lessons online and will be able to talk to tutors during the class for live feedback. You will never miss a lesson again as we have pre-recorded videos per learning objective, so you can catch up, and refer to them at any time.
