There are no specific skill requirements to volunteer. However, if you have a background in computers, please let us know—we’ll be able to utilize your skills more effectively.

• The club is planned to be running year-round with structured learning. We recommend up to 1 hr. of at home study/revision to stay ahead.
• A group or min 2 (up to 4) students is recommended (not strictly required) to make sure students can practice and group learn together and be each other’s support
• This is a somewhat intensive class, and we will teach gently however to maintain pace we will require students to follow decorum failing which they may be removed.
