Why are some course dates not consecutive?
The reason for this is usually to line up with a tutor’s availability. We believe that our tutors should be regularly working in the field that they are teaching. So sometimes, this means if a tutor is needed on set or needs dates reserved for jobs in the field we need to allocate course dates around the schedules of our working tutors. After all, isn’t it great that you are going to be learning from someone who is still 100% active in the business, We think so!
