At this stage the club will be invoiced for £1175.00 (a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the cost of the course), which must be settled two weeks before the course starts. The remaining 50% will be billed after the course has finished.
If you decide that you want to go ahead with the course, please decide how you would like it to run and get back to me with your plan. I will then find tutors and an assessor for you and confirm your course.
