👉We're starting our 10-week revision countdown to the City & Guilds 11th June Theory exam.

Edit: I've changed it to the 11th June as that's what most people have been told. Very odd as all the other Animal courses are listed as the 4th. Sorry for any confusion.

👉Each Sunday we'll post a revision topic in our Student study group https://www.facebook.com/groups/4909592105797503/

👉Join the group, whatever you're studying, or for your own personal development.

👉Be prepared, gain knowledge, build confidence.
