[vet-mm] the new TP !!!

[Allan Barnes]

I can't find it on the NTIS either, Peter, so I suspect that it hasn't been
put there yet. It can be bought through IBSA though if you want to spend the
money.





Kind regards

Hi List,
I must be slightly dense but I can't find the new training package on the
NTIS site.
I have tried searching for the code and browsing through the list of
packages but to no avail.
Can someone PLEASE put a link on an email and reply.

Also Ana the doc your attachment won't open in Mac land it comes up as
gobbly-gook.
Can you attach it as a word.doc

The whole notion of change is scary enough let alone trying to implement it
for the commencement of next year.
Hopefully some of my fears will be sated once I have a good look at the new
package.

Thanks in anticipation.
Yours Sincerely
Peter Fowler
Swinburne Senior Secondary College
