Learn With Us

Our courses are deliberately not accredited.

Our tutors teach for the love of learning; enabling students to engage with the curriculum from all angles and develop diverse skills within a collaborative culture.

Non-accreditation also enables us to be adaptable within our course content, to evolve our curriculum with each new cohort; embedding each year’s learning into the next year’s teaching.

We champion our dedication to creating a course container that empowers students to bring their authentic selves into the room. Past students have appreciated the non-pressured learning environment and with it the opportunity to explore their own unique pathways – free from examination and testing.

We provide high quality education and we support our tutors and practitioners to bring their extensive practical, lived experience into the classroom in dynamic and accessible ways.

The only entry requirements are an open mind and curiosity for the range of subjects we cover, and the ability to commit to a year learning with us. You do not need previous experience or credentials in any of the subjects we teach.
