If you can’t make it please let us know; the class usually fills and we have to turn people away, spots that we can re-use if we know.

This is a cram style session, we have found that it works best if you do NOT study any of the material prior to the session, rest well and have a light breakfast and come prepared to study.

Lunch is available at shopping areas a short distance away or bring a sack lunch. We will have coffee, tea hot water and hot chocolate available.
