What time do your courses start?

Our courses begin at 10.00am and finish usually around 4.30pm. However, we ask that you arrive at no later than 9.45. For security reasons we cannot provide full details of the check-in process on this website. You are however provided with these full details upon booking your preferred course.

Where are your courses held?

Our courses are conducted within Elstree Film Studios, home to many well known TV productions such as 'Big Brother' and 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'. Our training facility is located on the Studio lot itself, near to the cafe. Elstree Film Studios is located in Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire and can be reached easily from the nearest tube, which is Elstree and Borehamwood Thameslink.

What are your payment methods?

All bookings and payments can be made online via our booking form, which offers the choice of either (a) an immediate online credit card payment (made securely via the Worldpay payment gateway) or (b) a Purchase Order, which allows for you or your company to pay via the BACs payment method or (c) cheque. In any case you will immediately receive confirmation of your booking along with attendance details and a PDF invoice or Purchase Order depending on the method chosen. Please bear in mind however that only a Worldpay credit card payment guarantees your placement on a course: bookings made by Purchase Order are not secured until a full payment has been made.
