As our guests travel from all over the world to attend our training holidays, we ask them to arrange their own transport to the location. This not only helps keep the package costs low but also gives guests the flexibility to choose their own airline and arrival time… more about flights

Once guests have confirmed their reservation on one of our training holidays we ask them to send us their planned travel itinerary before booking. We normally ask for an arrival and departure time of between 12:00 – 17:00. These times quite often don’t suit so we will work with you to make sure transfers are arranged.
