Class For This Week "The SP Student"

Hi Folks

The class for this week "The SP Student" is ONLINE. So please do NOT come to class. Detailed instructions will be made available on this BLOG by Wednesday. I apologise for the inconvenience as we are experiencing some technical issues with the Social Media tool that I need you to use for this online workshop. We are currently trying to fix it and it should be ready soon. I do apologise again for any inconvenience caused.

So please do check back again on Wednesday for the instructions. The next post will have the latest training calendar dates for next AY year. The dates are 99% confirmed. You will notice some odd dates as we host the YOG this year and SP will be hosting some events which will mean we need to shift the calendar around a bit. Anyway, have a look. Cheers and I'll go work on the technical issue now. Get back to you all by Wednesday latest!
