How to join a course or project
How to join a course or project varies. Some courses can be joined at any time. But others are tied to education timetables so new learners may need to wait until the beginning of a new term or until September.
It is a good idea to speak directly to the STEnG organisation to find out more. Sometimes you can find the information needed on their websites.
