One-to-one Tuition

If you know what process you want to try but can’t find a course that fits with your schedule, our one-to-one tuition offers a chance for you to learn a new skill at a time that suits you. A member of our team will take you through the process and show you how to use all the necessary equipment. A one-to-one session can cover up to two people - bring a friend along and learn together.
