- Check age eligibility and any academic prerequisites for the exact session, not just the overall programme.
- Ask what feedback students receive and what they will study, practise or produce. Ask how much advance reading is expected and whether students write essays or presentations. Choose texts and a teaching level that suit the student’s interests and experience.
- Confirm current dates, fees, cancellation terms and what is included with the provider before applying.
