What if i cant make it to a training weekend?
If a student can not make it to one of the scheduled training weekends due to certain events, illness, circumstances out of their control, we have a number of systems in place to get the student back up to speed with the rest of the group. You have the choice to do that particular missed module online through our online training system. This is through a recorded video presentation and associated manual. This can be done before you get to the next module of training. Alternatively you can join your teacher on a one to one basis to complete the module. This is usually done on the friday before your scheduled weekend and typically takes one day. So, dont worry about a missed module, we will get you right up to speed. It is important to understand that this should only be used as an alternative in unusual circumstances where the student can not physically attend a training module.
