The Spring Programme is a co-ed course and is being developed in response to popular demand. We are hoping to make this course longer and more comprehensive in future years, but the condensed course has all the ingredients of the core course, just concentrated and modified slightly to suit the needs and interests of a co-ed course.

The course will be challenging but enjoyable, and will establish a great foundation from which to launch into the exciting world that we live in.

The course will be based on the 5 skill sets which the core programme focusses on – physical, natural, technical, business and social.  A photographic/multi media module has been developed which will be integral to this course.  It concentrates on photography, video and basic editing.  At the end of the course students will have a portfolio of work to take away with them which will also include a dvd they will have to produce.

Course starts on the 17th of September and ends 2nd December.
