What are these courses?

 

Each course can take up to six hours, depending on your needs. Although they can run all day, I prefer to offer them over two or more sessions. Each topic is accompanied by exercises to help you practise and reinforce the skills you are learning. They have been developed over my years of interacting with the actual needs of students. Colour course materials and folders are included.

​

You can book a course for a time to suit you: on weekends during semester, and on weekdays during semester breaks. Courses can be on campus (St Lucia, Ipswich, Brisbane City) or at the State Library at South Brisbane. A course costs $160, although you can reduce that to $120 if you bring a friend or friends.
