Courses and Terms

The Academy features two beginner courses to get students situated into their new schedules. This will ensure that their stay at the academy is a balanced one without retention or learning deficit. More courses will gradually begin to be added per term, with finals at the end of every term that a student reaches. If a final is failed, they will continue to their next term but will not be given an additional course until they pass those they had previously taken. Examinations will not continue on a course after it is passed, though the classes will continue.

Examinations are performed at the same time will all those who are in the term, regardless of when they individually celebrate their birthdays/

 

Each course comprises of both a theoretical/written component, and a practical assessment, ensuring that the student has an adequate understanding both on paper and when placed in real-world scenarios.
