Our Range of Courses

*******************************************

Our Autumn Mid Term courses

(starting in November 2026) are live!

 There are still spaces available on some of our courses, don’t miss out, book to explore your creativity today.

Our Mid-Term Starts are a great opportunity to join one of our term-time courses where spaces are still available on a class that began earlier in the term.  They offer a shorter introduction or taster experience, with less commitment than signing up for the full course.  When joining a mid-term start, you’ll be joining a group of students who have already been attending the class, with some students having attended for several terms.  The tutor and group will be expecting new students, and your tutor will make sure you feel part of the group and supported as you settle into the session (Please Note: We do not accept American Express).

We look forward to welcoming you to PSAD and hope you enjoy the course.
