Policy if it is found that this course is too intensive for the student
Intensive training is not for everyone. If the course director feels that the student is unlikely to achieve the required standards within the time frame, we reserve the right to invite the student to return for additional training on subsequent courses either free or at a reduced rate at our discretion (depending on reasons why the student is failing). If that were not enough then we would refund the course fee for the days remaining.
Timetable
The outline below gives an indication of the timetable – you can expect running order to change depending on availability of models for the different disciplines and the student’s needs. Intensive classroom training (expect to be on your feet doing hands on training for the majority of the classroom sessions) is split into two blocks of two days. Class sizes are very small (no more than four) and you can expect a high level of personal and very supportive coaching
