We recognise the importance of costs to both institutions and individual learners. Locating in Cardiff offers the highest quality at a reasonable cost. Institutions can specify the duration and nature of the school. For example, a programme for top executives might be shorter, but far more intensive than a summer school for undergraduates.  Institutions or individuals can determine the quality of the transport and of the accommodation arranged.  We can cater for any number of participants, from a small number of top executives to large, undergraduate classes. Institutions can choose from a range of guest speakers and cultural and social events.
