PLEASE NOTE: Failure to complete your ‘self-study’ will result in you being turned away from the face to face classroom part of your course, and you will forfeit your course purchasing fee. This is due to the arrangement costs being incurred our end when you make your booking, so PLEASE ensure this is completed ‘BEFORE‘ classroom attendance.
Note: The EFAW pre=course learning cannot be completed on a smart phone or tablet and must be completed on either a laptop or a PC.
