Assessment

You will be simulating lessons in the context of your course. So it means that

you will be constantly assessed. When you are ready then you will pass the

course. We are looking to create high-level-professionals.

starting.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will be offered a role in the

company as a Music Instructor. Starting wage is approx £19000**

The Cost:

This is an investment in yourself.

Because sometimes people find it difficult to pay in full at the start of their

course, we offer a monthly payment option, so that it takes away the difficulty

in paying for your course.

The cost is £175 per month.

Considering that the minimum time frame in which the course can be completed

is 3 months, you could be a fully trained music teacher, with a guaranteed job*

making a starting wage of £19000 per year** with the only outlay being £525,

which is amazing! Especially when you consider that Universities can charge you

more than £3200 per year!***

We are very proud of our £175 per month price, and know that at this price it

will be very well subscribed.
