Overview

HBN Extended Edition is simply an intensive extended version of our HBN Cadet and Bootcamp courses. Whilst the content and structure is essentially the same, HBN Extended Edition offers students a deeper understanding of the concepts being presented and affords them more time to practice the techniques being taught.

These 2 days are mostly method-based and emphasise structure, approach and thinking over tools and tricks.
