Hello Anne, Thank you clarifying. I just felt a bit let down as I was really looking forward to starting the course this year, but couldn`t as I could not secure work placement since it was emphasised that I could not do the course without having a place to do practicals. Am hoping for better luck though next year, as am busy hunting for a job in OH. Thank you. Esther ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
