General Information
Cost
The price per day for all our summer courses is £120.
For the price per person, the price outlined above is divided by the number of clients attending the
course
(subject to the course ratio).
For Example
A three day course would cost:
3 x £120 = £360
So for five people:
£360 / 5 = £72 per person for the three days.
What this includes
The price includes instruction and all technical equipment. It does not include transport, accomodation or food. We can arrange these for you at an additional cost.
