When you can start All absolute beginner’s classes start in the Autum term. Classes offered in the Spring and Summer term are a continuation of the Autumn term programme. It’s usually possible for new students to join a class at the start of any term. Where it’s not possible for new students to join an individual class, this will be clearly marked on the website before the start of each term.

Term Dates:
Autumn Term: 12 weeks from September – December 2009
Spring Term: 10 weeks from January – March 2010
Summer term: 6 weeks from April – May 2010

Once venues have confirmed any dates that are unavailable (for school parents’ consultation evenings for example) we will update this page on the website with info, and inform any classes that are affected.. If classes are cancelled for any other reason the website will be kept up to date. School-based classes do not run if Edinburgh schools are closed. Generally, local radio announces information on school closure.
