Tools / Materials
Due to the practical nature of some of the courses you should make allowance for the additional cost of purchasing hand tools and/or materials, this is dependant on the individual project you have chosen to do, the course content or both. If tools or materials are required for your course a Student Tool/Materials list will be compiled by the tutor and sent to you in advance. In some cases materials or kits will be supplied by the tutor. If this is applicable to your course you will pay for them during the course and retain these, alternatively you may need to make a local purchase with the tutor’s assistance. All details regarding this will be sent to you approximately four weeks or earlier prior to the start of your course.
Note: Personal hand tools are not available from the School, all students must bring their own.
