The Course

At the heart of 'Building to Grow' is our annual BTG Course. The course takes place over 9 evening sessions, and one day away. It runs from September to June each year, on the 4th Thursday each month. Each evening starts at 7:30pm and ends around 9:00pm.  Please note that this year, Building to Grow will run entirely online, in light of the recent global situation.  There is a small cost of £55 to be paid on or before the first night, which includes the core text book.
