We have a REALLY exciting year coming up at Firebird Studios.
2019 has been a wonderful year of learning to deliver courses, refining the course structure, pricing, inclusions and delivery over the year, watch the student’s work improve semester upon semester, and getting more organised with every aspect of running the studio.
Mid way through the year, we took on some interns, and these interns will become teachers in 2020! We’ll take on more interns in 2020 and keep training teachers. This way we can offer more to more people and develop out courses even further!
This list is not complete, there will be some changes and additions along the way, but this is the general outline:
