Taster Day 19th January 11 – 1
There will be a taster day session in the Town Hall in Maidenhead which will give you a bit more insight into what the course covers and help you decide if the course is suitable for you. You can meet the tutors and ask questions before deciding if the course is for you. You can submit your applications here or email them across if you cannot make the taster day. As I mentioned the date for this is still not confirmed so we will be in touch with this asap.
Course sessions run on Fridays from Jan 26th – Mar 29th 10.00 – 16.00 and will take place at:
Town Hall
St Ives Road
