Check acceptance before enrolling
A course certificate records educational achievement; it is not automatic permission to practise. Confirm current registration or licensing, premises requirements and accepted training evidence with the relevant authority. Check insurer and prospective studio requirements separately.
Acceptance for one application does not establish acceptance elsewhere. Ask for the exact training, supervision and assessment criteria for your intended location.
Questions before enrolling
Which equipment, practice materials and workspace do I need for my chosen course?
How will practical work be assessed, and what feedback or further practice is needed before completion?
