Dress Code
We expect you to act as role models throughout the Academy, this is especially true in relation to the way that you dress.
The reasons that we have a dress code are as follows:
- The Academy is a professional environment and as such we expect you to dress in a professional manner.
- We are preparing you for the world of work where it is likely that many of you will have to adopt professional/business dress.
- We want you to take pride in how you look. First impressions do count.
