What should I do if I get overwhelmed

You can always talk to Vanessa. She is pretty understanding and we recognise that life can present unexpected challenges and commitments. Unlike traditional educational institutions, we offer a degree of flexibility to accommodate our students during such times.

If a student experiences unforeseen life events that prevent them from fulfilling their commitments under this course, they are encouraged to communicate with us as soon as possible. We’ll endeavour to find a suitable solution, which may include deferring the student’s responsibilities to the following academic year. This flexibility allows the student to continue their learning journey with BALM without unnecessary pressure or stress.

However, it’s important to note that while we strive to be accommodating, any adjustments made are at the sole discretion of BALM and The Sourdough School Ltd, and certain conditions may apply.
