Therefore, we would only recommend this programme to students aged 14 and above.2.

Otherwise, we will have laptops for their use on premises.3. Are there any compulsory days that my child has to attend?In the event that you have purchased a 2 or 3 Day Pass for your child, the first day of the event is compulsory for your child to attend. The first day is structured to give them a better picture of what they can expect over the remainder of the course and also to allow your child to discover his/her passion and interests.Aside from the first day, your child is free to attend any day of the programme that he/she prefers.4.
