Our Fees and Training Philosophy
As a CIC, we are a not-for-profit organisation and wish to offer training at affordable rates.
Our courses are priced below usual market rates and are delivered in person in Colwyn Bay in a beautiful location. Low cost doesn't mean low quality and any excess is used to develop our services. We believe in paying our trainers a fair rate for their time, material, and energy in delivering their subject.
​
Our courses are priced at an affordable rate and are excellent value for your money. We offer student rates too.
​
We also believe that there is increased learning being around other practitioners - it's an opportunity to connect and share experience.
​
Our trainers are highly qualified therapists with years of clinical experience in their field.
