What do I need to set up a Bespoke course?
- A group - the usual minimum group size is 4 people. Maximums are usually around 18.
- A suitable venue - this will need a teaching area to suit the course (some require classrooms, other workshop or solid floor environments), AV equipment such as flipchart and data projector, tea and coffeee facilities and where applicable, to be close to the riding areas.
- Finance to cover the course cost. Fairly obvious this one, but finance can be delivered via cheque, bank transfer or invoice.
What is the full process of setting up a Bespoke course?
The steps involved in a Bespoke course, from now to course completion and certificate issue are outlined on our Bespoke course process document.
Bespoke courses can be arranged with a few weeks notice, subject to tutor availablity. At busy times (spring and autumn), we may require three months advance warning.
