Incredible trubute by our wonderful Leanne Pinder ❤ #remembrance2018

A huge congratulations to all our students - 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Years - for completing the first two full weeks of the new College year! 🔥 🔥

The summer holiday's nearly over.
And it's almost time to get back into the Studio!
Our 1st Year's will be having their induction tomorrow, before we switch back to full-College on Monday! 🔥

We're saddened to hear the news coming out of CPA studios and our thoughts are with everyone associated.
As an industry, it's important we all pull together, so we'd like to invite all students due to start there in September '18 as well as all current 2nd/3rd Year students, to an audition for Wilkes Academy next week. And we'd be happy to honour any CPA Scholarship!
