Practical skills, in weeks not years.
Not everyone can commit to two years, and not everyone needs to. From our opening in March 2027, the Academy runs short practical courses for working adults and for the staff of our partner companies. Each is a focused, hands-on version of our main teaching, delivered by the same faculty, and each ends in a certificate of completion. Courses run from two to eight weeks, in the daytime or the evening, in the language that suits you.

Short courses: your questions
- Do I need to have finished school?
- For short courses we are flexible. What matters is that the course suits your level, and we will help you choose.
- Will I get a certificate?
- Yes. Every short course ends in a Tumarys certificate of completion, recognised by our partner employers.
- Can my employer pay for me?
- Often, yes. Many of our short-course places are funded by partner companies for their own staff. Ask your employer, or ask us to speak with them.
