Courses
Term 2, 2012
We offer you a great variety of courses to learn, upskill,to be creative or to simply to get fit or relax.
As a result of the recent earthquakes in Christchurch, we’ve had to re-schedule some classes, venues and tutors as circumstances demanded.
Given that any further interruptions caused by earthquakes are beyond our control, it is timely to remind students that we reserve the right to change venues, times of classes and tutors as needed. Our first priority will be to get classes up and running as soon as possible after any disruption.
Please ensure you are familiar with our refunds and cancellations policy where this is covered.
