This course is usually divided into several dates or we recommend taking it at one of our camps (Fehmarn).

COURSES IN SICILY

In Sicily, the courses are run individually and in a different mode than in Fehmarn. In Sicily, we usually teach one-to-one, so teaching is a bit more effective. As a basic package we recommend the discounted price of 6 hours. course, which is the MINIMUM time in which to master the practical teaching methodology.
