We are still running online courses, and you are welcome to order any course materials to study ahead for any course, in-person or online.
All Level 3 exams will be taken at the earliest available opportunity. Levels 1 and 2 students are now able to take their exams online. In-person exams scheduled for June course days are still going ahead as planned.
