FAQs

How do I book my place?

Simply click “Register Now” on the right to begin the registration process.

Do I need to apply and be accepted in order to attend a programme?

There is no application in order to attend our programmes, as we feel that passion, ambition and a willingness to commit toward your future is enough. Our programmes, however, are extremely popular and are often full months in advance. We offer our places on a first-come first-served basis and places are highly limited.

Do I need to have prior knowledge?

No prior knowledge is required to attend our programmes, as we introduce each topic from a basic level of understanding.

What is the dress code for the programme/internship?

We ask that students wear professional clothing on our programmes as you will be meeting industry executives. Essentially, avoid wearing jeans, trainers or tracksuits. Suits, chinos and other smart casual wear are all acceptable.

How much do your one-day programmes cost?

Our one-day career experiences cost £135/student. This includes:

Entry to the programme

Our one-day programmes generally start at 10.30am (11am for our Beyond Programmes).

Once you have booked onto a programme, you will receive a confirmation email with programme-specific details about registration and programme timings.
