Thanks John,

I have always wanted to run through a little bit more experienced training.

Downloaded and will sit the entire course.

Cheers.

Baz.

Not bad..I sat through all three lectures last night.

The lectures themselves thus far are a little basic, which I suppose is a good start, but the wiki research encouraged in support for study is a little deeper, which is a good thing.

I look forward to an increase in pace and material over the coming weeks.
I like the fact that it is a "Now" course.

Baz.
