We run evening sessions for those who can not sacrifice a weekend or are busy working in the hospitality trade at weekends or those who work during the week

The sessions run for 2-3 hours, starting at 7pm and finishing at 9 - 10pm

There are 14 sessions (every week) including an exam session, spread out over 3 1/2 months. This enables you to learn this very challenging syllabus over a longer time period (many students have transferred in the past from the shorter format to this longer format). The final exam day is 7pm - 10pm.
