    Your chance to 'design' a course

    As one client reminded me last week our new course magazine has just about run its course. The next edition is due out in June 2007.

    What does this mean for you?

    We are currently welcoming expression of interests for people wishing to teach or 'be taught' a particular subject. So if you are:

    A specialist in a particular area and would like to share your skills with others
    Or
    You are longing to learn how to relax with meditation, build a boat, use your domestic espresso machine, and write that book or any other (legal) skills you would like to learn then we would like to hear from you.

    Email your expression of interest to: Ruth.Gollan@etcltd.com.au
