Book all the sessions together or individual sessions to suit your needs.
There will be a recording sent out after each so that you can watch if you booked and can’t attend the live session, or if you would like to watch again!
This course is not accredited, so there are no assignments to complete.
You will receive a Helen Arkell Certificate of Attendance on completion of the course/session.
