Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I wasn't too keen on school. The thought of returning puts me off.

A. Classes are very informal and all our tutors are very friendly and approachable. The social

aspect of being a member of WASP is a bonus.

********

Q. I've seen a class I'm interested in, but I can't attend the first week.

A. It's not a problem. Many students are unable to attend the odd class due to family commitments, illness or holidays. If you can, let us  know beforehand if you won't be attending. We also ask you let us know if circumstances mean you won't be continuing with your class.

********

Q. Do I have to pay the £6.50 Registration Fee for each class I attend ?

A.  No. The Fee is your payment for membership of WASP regardless of how many classes you attend. All Registration Fees expire at the end of June regardless of whether you sign up in September or e.g. the following February. The Registration Fee is payable by all students.
