The consultation space at Northline Central: a small oak table and two chairs beside a tall window, with two cups, a folder and a stack of cards.

What to bring to a program consultation

Three things to bring, so thirty minutes end with a clear suggestion.

A consultation is thirty minutes, and most of it should be about you rather than the course. Bring three things and it will end with a clear suggestion.
