Please enrol early to avoid disappointment! Many of our courses are very popular and fill up quickly and as enrolment is on a first in basis early enrolment is in your interest. Sometimes courses have to be cancelled and these decisions are made some days before the course is due to start. Regrettably some learners miss out because they enrol too late and the course has already been cancelled whereas had they enrolled earlier the course would have run.
