How to Enrol on a Course

Please help us to help you by enroling early on your chosen course. It is advisable to pre-enrol at least two weeks in advance to avoid disappointment, as classes in some subject areas have a limited number of places. Your place on a course can only be guaranteed once we have received your completed enrolment form and fee. If a minimum number of enrolled students is not achieved one week before the course start date, the School reserves the right to cancel that course. Enroled students will be notified if this happens.
