The Concord ‘Skills Extra’ programmes are designed for the student who wishes to develop in a particular activity through expert tuition WITHOUT restricting his/her involvement in other aspects of the course.  The total hours of tuition, (6 x 1.5 hour lessons) within the Skills Extra programme, are the same whether the student attends a course commencing on 4th July or 1st August 2010.

How the Programmes Work
For a ‘Skills Extra’ programme a supplement is payable as indicated. A student choosing a ‘Skills Extra’ programme receives the same Summer Course Tuition as other students on the course (20 hours per week). IN ADDITION he/she receives a total of 9.0 hours of expert tuition per course in the chosen extra skill during recreation time. Outside this tuition time, the student is free to participate fully in all aspects of the general Summer Course programme, and goes on all the full and half-day excursions.

The following skills are available:
GOLF : TENNIS : HORSE-RIDING

GOLF £240
Students choosing the golf programme receive expert tuition from qualified coaches. Teaching is at a level appropriate to the ability of the individual student. On most weeks, two lessons of 1.5 hours are given. However, in the latter stages of a course, students may be given the opportunity to put their skills to the test on one of Shropshire’s fine courses. Golf clubs can be provided at no extra charge if required.

TENNIS £170
Students choosing the tennis programme receive two lessons of 1.5 hours each week. Instruction is provided by qualified coaches in small groups. Tennis rackets can be provided at no extra charge if required.
