We’ve developed a range of online courses, delivered via Zoom, to ensure that our learning programme can continue, whatever the circumstances, in these very uncertain times.
“Being able to connect like this has been so good”, “The technology was used seamlessly and there were no problems”, “rich and engaging and very accessible”… just some of the fantastic feedback from our online course participants. So if you haven’t already signed up for an online course, now’s the perfect time to give them a go!
We are hoping to be able to reintroduce face-to-face course sessions at the venue at some point in 2021, and will keep you updated over the coming months.
Wednesdays, 10 – 31 Mar, 7pm – 8.30pm
