Our Reading course is held at the fabulous Reading Hilton - a spectacular venue, close the the city centre, but also accessible by car - FREE car parking is available on site when you book on the course. Please also remember that our course fees INCLUDE all the tuition, handbooks and reference material (you'll take away a package of useful information) and we also include lunch and refreshments during the day.

If the dates at Reading don't suit, remember we also run courses at many other locations, including Southampton, London, Cardiff, The Midlands and the South West!
