Is the information provided by the lectures given on a daily basis or is everything set out over the four days?

These days are run by the HTA and are very good.

You can find the programme at this site:

You need to click on the programme and registration form to see the entire programme.

There are some very good sessions for all students.

The Saturday covers most of the sessions from the other days.

They do provide some good tips and notes. Although, i don't really remember about the actual quality of the lectures.

Do you have to have a teacher go with you?

I went last year. Found them very usefull and they help look at different areas that arn't really covered in you text books.

One lecture I went to was on Pompeii's markets, which happened to be a MASSIVE question in my final exams. They are very helpfull
