Discussing the course, Course Manager, Kenneth Johnston said that CAFRE had received a high level of interest in the course for 2023/24 and 180 students have now enrolled which is a 12 per cent increase on the previous year.

Kenneth further explained that the course will be delivered one night per week over 20 weeks from the end of September 2023 to the end of February 2024 using a blended approach with a mixture of face to face and online delivery.

The course is ideal for me in that it is held in the evenings. I am hoping to learn plenty over the next 20 weeks.
