| This is Foundation licence on a double mocha - I know you are all intelligent people, so I do not intend to dwell on the basic technical stuff at this level. We would normally budget 12-15 hours of contact time, but you are getting just 8! There will be homework, tears before bed time, but results at the end :) | | This is Foundation licence on a double mocha - I know you are all intelligent people, so I do not intend to dwell on the basic technical stuff at this level.
