Conditions:
Apparently you can only take this course if you have a child or are a carer for a child under the age of 12. I couldn't find this written anywhere and they didn't ask me when I booked.
Due to the duration and nature of this course, no children are permitted.
You might want to add that you can only take this course if you have a child or are a carer for a child under the age of 12. Don't know they they will be able to ensure that you do, but would be good to point out!
