Below the player to the right, is a Contact Teacher button. It now says ‘Contact Support’.

Use this to contact us with any lesson or product specific queries.

Messages are replied to first thing in the morning and when we are available to do so and we will endeavour to reply as quickly as possible.

Step-by-Step Guide

Using screenshots from the video, we have also provided a step-by-step written guide for you with some additional information.

Professional Tips

In most lessons, there are Professional Tips in a Flash Card.

Flip the card using the link to reveal the tip.

Downloadable Media

At the bottom of most of the lessons are links to downloadable media in .pdf format.

Completing the Academy

After practising each lesson, we expect you to complete the course in around 2 weeks. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you – the lessons will be here for you whenever you need them.

When complete, and you have passed all the quizzes, you will be presented with personalised course certificate to download and print.

Make sure you remain on our mailing lists to be kept up to date with new lessons added to the Academy, and a planned Advanced Finishing Course.
