Sunday Sessions - who are they designed for?
- We run Sunday Courses for those who work through the week and/or Saturdays and don't wish to use holiday time to attend the course
- Sundays are especially convenient for those in the restaurant, bar or retail sectors, as this is often the quietest day of the week and easier to take time away from work
- The course takes place through the day, leaving you free to relax in the evening, ready to start work again on Monday morning!
- The sessions run for 7-8 hours, starting at 10am and finishing at 5:30pm, which enables you plenty of time to arrive on time and enough time to enjoy your Sunday evening
- There are 6 full sessions and an exam session, spread out over 6 weeks. The final exam day is 10am - 3pm.
