What are the Course Start time & End Times?

The typical operating hours for our courses are from 10 AM to 6 PM. However, it’s crucial to note that each course follows its unique schedule. We encourage you to refer to the step-by-step pre-course information, The link would have been automatically emailed to you at the email address that you provided as you registered, which details the specific start times for your individual course.

Do not turn up early.

We emphasise the importance of starting our courses on time. As such, we kindly request that you refrain from arriving earlier than the designated starting time, which is typically 10 AM. The time prior to the course commencement is dedicated to meticulous preparation, akin to the final moments before hosting a dinner party, where the atmosphere is abuzz with activity.

If, for unavoidable reasons, you find that you will arrive early, we kindly request that you notify us at least two days in advance.

Courses usually conclude at 6 PM and we suggest arranging for taxis at 6:15 PM for example, allowing a slight buffer should the session run a bit longer.

Please bear in mind that it typically takes around 20 minutes to reach the Northampton train station from our location.
