We run Foundation Courses, Intermediate Courses, RAE Courses and Morse Classes. For the Foundation Courses we enlist the help of many local amateurs, and some not so local, from other clubs - so its a team effort.

The Intermediate, RAE & Morse classes are run on Friday evenings whereas the Foundation is run over a weekend - we usually run 1 course for around 30 candidates each month - to-date we've had 72 people on our courses, with a further 34 who took the course on 23/24th March.
