Dear Mandy
I have not heard of this 'A-Z Training Company'. I
could not find them on the web. Please can you post
more information.
The shift to pre-issued case Studies will of course
open the market to companies offering 'a guide' to
such case studies. One company offering such a service
is APT Initiatives.

Is it likely that this A-Z Company will be doing the
same?
