Residential: £5,000
The Residential offers an immersive learning experience where students join us for training at a villa in
Mallorca. The course fee includes the full qualification, accommodation throughout the stay as well as three
healthy and delicious chef-cooked meals each training day.
Residential: Live out £4,000
This option is ideal for anyone who lives locally to where the Residential is taking place. This means you will be
staying at your own accommodation, and commuting to the villa where training will take place daily. You will
also be provided with a healthy chef-prepared lunch each day.
Online: Flexible £3,500
If you’re not able to join us in person, our 2-week intensive Purser Program allows you to study from wherever
you are in the world, with live lectures, learning and assignments delivered through our state-of-the-art 5th
