2 Week course in balcatta, Perth
Hey,
not sure if there is a thread on or not on this.
i'm starting my course soon in balcatta, and I'm just wondering if anyone else has done it here and can tell me what to expect, getting a bit nervous about it now.
how the course is laid out and what i'll be doing, the type of exam questions....
even to brush up on a few things would be helpful.
thanks for any help

Hi,
I remeber seeing a blow by blow course break down for the 2 week WA course, I've just had a look through the forum to page 5 and cant find anything, it might have been in a reply to another thread.
It would be worth having a good dig through the forum for as it looked exactly wehat you are after.
Some one might be along that cant direct you straight to it soon...
