We are in the middle of writing our new classroom textbooks. This is not a quick process! Everything within our course textbooks is being thought through with meticulous care. No waffle. No vagueness. Clearly illustrated. The first classroom course using these new materials will be in Spring 2013.

We will teach the college syllabus in 10 modules. Classroom teaching will be based around 'best answer 1 of 5' style multiple choice question / extended matching item questions. These will be continually updated to reflect the topics and themes being tested in the exam. Candidates purchasing the classroom course will have immediate access to all online modular materials and a full mock exam (500 carefully chosen questions in total). These online materials are entirely distinct from the classroom materials.

The course will be held at The Manchester Conference Centre, Sackville Street, Manchester M1 3BB. Accommodation is available at the venue. www.manchesterconferencecentre.co.uk

Registration begins at 0815 on the first morning of the course, with the course itself beginning at 0915. The course ends on each day at 1730.
