“The programme was great in helping to answer different types of questions. The tutors were also great and answered questions promptly.”
“I really liked the constant support I received knowing that if I sent a question, I’d have it answered within a day.”
"I liked how the programme was able to cover all areas of the syllabus and how the questions became more challenging through the course"
The Calculations One-Week Intensive course is a structured programme with daily activities that you will be guided through over a seven-day period.
So that we can provide dedicated support to our trainees, the numbers for each course are strictly limited. Available cohort dates are:
