General Information

Cost

The price per day for all our summer courses is £140.
For the price per person, the price outlined above is divided by the number of clients attending the course

For Example
   A three day course would cost:
      3 x £140 = £420
   So for five people:
      £420 / 5 = £84 per person for the three days.
