Hi,

I just think it's dum that you offer a course on your website, for months, that I have planning to take, sine June.

And now you change it in August, and you haven't even updated your website.


I sat at Working Links more than two months ago, I think, and we searched on PHP-courses.

And it was maybe 14 hits.

So if you wanted the change the course based on feedback from last-year, why did advertise the un-change course.


Stupid behaviour like this, causes problems for people who want to plan ahead.

A Norwegian college wouldn't operate like this, so I'm disapointed that this happens in the UK.


I think this changing that you've started with today is just dum, and very like amatours would have done..

Sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

The course offer changes based on feedback from the students who were on it in the past. Some of last years students felt that they would have benefitted from additional study in both databases and programming.



You can do just that course if you wish - there is no requirement to study the extra courses. But this will be in May, after the other courses have happened.



If you wish to start the Web Database course now then this is possible for October as advertised but only if there are enough students to form a group. If this is what you want then I'm very happy to try and make this happen but in order to keep the price at £98, we need 14 applicants.

Hi,

how can a Community College operate like this?



I read about this course on your website, in June, I think, and also again

today.



And says clearly that it's an interduction-course, in these subjects.



This is ridiculus!



How can you change the courses all of a suddent, when it's been on your

website for months?



This must be the dummest thing I ever heard, and from a British college, who

are supposed to be among the best in the world, one think in Norway.



This must be a joke surely.



Sincerely,



Erik Ribsskog
