These accredited courses are available for students up to the age of 25. They allow you to be uniquely you and to pursue your own path without imposing a curriculum on you. For example, a church musician could choose to study song-writing. This is the course you want to do! In fact, you want to do it so much you probably already are – so why not pick up the qualification too?
