Fees

The costs for the Academy are around €450 per calendar year (final costs will be known when we know final student numbers).  This money goes towards study materials, rental costs, lunch and travel expenses for speakers.  We never want money to be a barrier to anyone attending the Academy, please talk to your local church leader if you would have trouble paying this amount.
