Introduction courses will give you a taste of what a subject or course is like before you progress to a longer course.

Workshops are usually short one-off or extension courses focusing on a particular area and are normally one day or less.

Beginners courses are suitable for those with no previous experience or as a “refresher”. They may be described as such throughout the year as those advertised in the autumn term generally continue for the spring and sometimes the summer too.

Improvers courses are for those with some previous experience who are starting to work towards more independent learning.

Advanced courses are for those who have substantial previous experience, are capable of working quite independently, and who wish to develop with the support and guidance of a tutor.

Mixed Ability courses are suitable for those with any level of previous experience.

Courses without a level in the title are suitable for all levels.
