Surviving the shocks

Posted by Angus Soutar 2 days ago

Pressures from the UK economy have led to a lack of demand for intensive courses, so our work continues closer to home.

The Northern School has survived a difficult five years but we still continue to act regionally. We were shut down by the government in 2020 - 2021 with all the hysteria that surrounded  The Global Pandemic, without any financial support from the authorities (although there was lots to go around for larger organoisations).

We continued with some of our students on-line "but it's not the same".

No sooner did we begin to recover than there was a massive spike in energy prices in the UK, leading to roaring inflation and a "cost of living crisis". As a result, staging intensive, residential PDC's has proved too expensive for us.

We have still managed to deliver 3 PDC's per year and keep our student and diploma support going. We also have also built a new booking website.


There is still a lot to report and we'll update you soon here.
