Graduations
Whilst the course is online, we invite everyone to join us for a ‘graduation day’ afterwards, as a chance to meet, have some fun, and give you your certificates! Previous graduation days have included a beach day, rowing, and even beekeeping! These are very informal days where you’ll spend some time with our team, do something interesting, and make your graduation hat! (This day is not compulsory, as graduates may be abroad or have prior commitments, but we do love meeting you in real life!)
