· Allow­ing you to change cours­es if you change your mind in the first 6 weeks ‑sub­ject to availability

· Mov­ing you between course lev­els if you are find­ing your cur­rent lev­el too easy / too hard, sub­ject to availability

· One-to-one reviews with your aca­d­e­m­ic tutor to ensure you are pro­gress­ing and achiev­ing well

Our course enquiries and admis­sions team are avail­able at enquiries@​stamford.​ac.​uk should you have any fur­ther questions.

Each unit has a mul­ti­ple choice core test, as well a prac­ti­cal syn­op­tic test in the work­shop. You will receive reg­u­lar feed­back on your per­for­mance and help and advice to enable you to be suc­cess­ful in the actu­al assessments.

You will require a uni­form con­sist­ing of black full length work trousers, black polo shirts, black sweat­shirts and safe­ty footwear for the work­shop, which can be pur­chased on our web­site, along with a change of footwear when leav­ing the work­shop.
