Most night classes are self financing. The fee covers tuition and, in some cases, materials. A class may be cancelled if numbers are too low, in which case a refund is arranged. Enrol early to secure a place and to help the centre plan.
What to bring
Bring a notebook and pen, and any materials listed in the course description. For computer classes, ask whether equipment is provided. If you need glasses, hearing support or another adjustment, tell the centre when you enrol.
