Please note: if you can’t find a particular material, ask your tutor about it during the first class.

If you have a small amount of previous experience in a subject you can do the non-Introduction class. If you are in doubt, it is best to do the Introduction class in a subject; and it never hurts to go over the basics. After doing the Introduction class for one term, you can progress to the non-Introduction class the following term.

There is a mix of new information each term, for those who are doing the same class all year, but also a repeat of the same class each term for those attending for the first time. You can start a class at the beginning of any of the 4 terms. In many subjects, you can progress from the Introduction class to the non-Introduction class. Many students attend Art Night Classes in order to work on their own projects, with individual attention and guidance from the tutor.

Art night classes are open to everyone in the community, students and public alike. There is no extra fee for international students. The Art Night Classes do not result in a qualification.

In the case of the Art night classes, no it does not.  Our classes are offered at Level 1 whereas FeesFree only takes into account anything at Level 3 or higher.

Because we are a tertiary institution, students under 16 need to have a letter of permission from their high school principal (also signed by a parent), or parent if home-schooled. Classes are designed for students 16 years and over, so students under 16 will need to be good at working independently to get the most out of Night Classes. Students under 13 years old are not eligible to do night classes. 

We can definitely remove you from this class and your friend is welcome to apply for the same class however there may be a waitlist or other students who have applied first.  We manage a first in first served process so unfortunately cannot guarantee your friend your spot.

It is fine to start a class in the second or third week of term, having missed the first one or two classes, provided there is an available space in the class. You will still be charged the full fee. If you have missed 3 classes, that is generally too late to start. 

There are no classes on public holidays.
