Diploma Course Year Three 2008

Throughout the year there will be regular 1: 1 tutorials for students to use as an opportunity to review areas of development, both on a practical and theoretical level.

Practice management will feature as a regular part of most weekends to give students an opportunity to look at aspects of setting up a business.

During the first weekend students can request any additional areas they would like to focus on during the year.

In addition there will be a one day first-aid module incorporated into one of the weekends.
