Hi Rajesh,

Nothing in this world is for free! There is a mistake on the page. If you click where it says "Working knowledge of MS Word and fluent in English.", you can see the price.

Best regards from Antananarivo,

John

Hi! Would there be enough interest in Sri Lanka to make a stopover between India and Thailand?
You've got already one candidate here!

Mismatch in timing Sep 1, 2010

Hello, I really want to attend this training on 7 Sep but have some previous commitment upto 10:30 am on 7 Sep. Is there a remote chance of a timing change?

Is it worth attending the course if I miss about an hour or so of the training?

Also, I do not think I can pay via paypal. Is there any other option? Maybe, via Insituto Hispania (I am a student there).
Regards,
Pradnya.

Hi Alfonso,

Sorry but I've already booked tickets through to Japan. I'll be in Bangalore next week and there will be trainings. Otherwise, you can catch me in Vietnam or Malaysia!

Best of luck,
John
