If this happens, you can email us with your enquiry, or you can attend the next session. You will join a queue on arrival and we will work through the queue as quickly as possible. Please be aware that although the queue is operated on a first come first served basis, if you arrive at the same time as many other students you may not be seen at that drop in as it will have to end at the designated time.
