Our professional programmes involve intensive periods of learning, so we recommend that the best time to recruit our professional students is after their exams have finished. This way, everything they have learnt is fresh in their minds and they are also extremely eager to apply their practical skills to real-life business situations. If you urgently require a professional student to help your business though, they may have some free time during their revision period, which runs four times a year.
