Last year’s course was oversubscribed so early booking is strongly advised. All applications will be acknowledged. Provisional places will only be confirmed when full fee payment has been received.

Joining Instructions

Detailed joining instructions, including a map, will be sent to all participants one month prior to the commencement of the course. While every attempt will be made to ensure the material arrives in time, it is the participants' responsibility to contact us if the information is not received.

The fee for course is £1950 if booked by 30th June 2013, and £2250 if booked after 30th June 2013.

The optional maths and Excel refresher day on Sunday 15th September 2013 is free of charge. The fee covers tuition, a comprehensive set of course notes, a licensed copy of the Berkeley Madonna modelling package, light refreshments and a course reception but does not cover other meals or accommodation.

We can accept payment by credit card (we accept Visa, MasterCard or JCB), debit card (we accept Visa, Visa Electron, Maestro or Solo), or cheque / bank draft. We ask you to indicate your method of payment when you apply for the course.
