2KO’s 12 month
training option
With 2KO we allow 12
months for all students to complete a course. If you start a
course you may re-attend the same course any time within a
12 month period. When you re-attend you need to bring your
book from the first course, and you will pay only for lunch.
So if you find the
course tough, you may do the same course again, by simply
booking for another future date. Access to the course is
dependent on how far in advance you book and the number of
available seats.
