One of the major focuses of our educational project is to promote access to global horizons for all of our students. As a result all of our educational programs, from secondary school to higher education level, include overseas apprenticeships for all students, these cover periods of 3 weeks to 3 months and are either organised as a group or individually.
These apprenticeships are an essential part of the educational programs and for certain courses they are an integral part of the examination.
