Our main site in East Finchley and our Arts Centre both have lifts, but unfortunately this does not apply to all the buildings we use. We can often assist, however, for example by relocating a class to the ground floor, or accommodating helpers or guide dogs in classes. We cannot accept responsibility for an unsuitable venue, course or equipment if you choose not to disclose your special requirements. Please inform your teacher and/or The Institute office of any medical condition (eg epilepsy) which may affect you in class. Such information will be treated as strictly confidential.
