Hi, this is just dum! Now you're changing your arguments, (from feed-back from last year, as the excuse, to to few applicants), this indicates that you have a secret agenda in this. I've sent this to the principal, so I won't be answering you any more about this, until I hear from the Principal.

I'm telling you I can run the course now, but I need other applicants who want the same. The problem is that not many people have planned ahead. We have 12 applicants which isn't enough now, so I will need to do more work on getting people on the course anyway. Hence I am happy to do it for the course now if you so strongly wish for that. If you're not clear on whether I am suited to my job then please come to my class and see that you learn things. If you want the course now then I will try for this. But I can only try, I don't force people to come to my course.

This a skill that companies demand now, and in May or October next year, it will be in less demand. This is a course that you have been advertising, on your website, for months, and people have adapted to that, and haven't planned for, that you would start changing the courses, in late August, two or three months after the course has been offered. If you don't understand how dum this is, then I don't think you are the right person in your job. Ok, I'm just dissapointed that you can operate like this, when people have planned to take this course for months. How can you say that trying to arrange the course is the best you can do, when you have had the course on the website for months. That's something that the College should plan ahead for, and not change, after having offering the course, on your website for months. That's very amatourism, nothing more, nothing less. I think the only thing you can do is to arrange the course, like a normal course, since you advertised it for months. You also get founds from the EU, I saw, who Norway pays billions to each year, so it's not like I'm exploiting you, since I'm from Norway, or anything. I just want to find a job, and then I need this course!
