Training course on offer

[RosalieM]

Second attempt:
I received a letter today with info about a training course being run through Armidale TAFE which may be of interest to some of you. I've scanned it and will have another go at attaching it!

Just a thought - perhaps if you are interested but know you can't make it to Armidale for the 6 practical sessions, it might still be worth putting in your 'expression of interest' and then they will realise "maybe we need to make this course available in more locations". Maybe not, but it can't hurt to try!

Some of us in this area (I'm kind of in the middle, between Coffs Harbour and Armidale, so not too far away) are doing this TAFE course. People travel a lot further than I do to do the weekend workshops.
At first I struggled with some of the science that is not totally applicable to schoolies, as I have no science background at all, but I have learnt a lot and overall I find it to be worthwhile. There are labbies there from CSIRO and other industry labs such as grain research and pathology, so next year there will be electives depending on our different needs.
From time to time I wonder what I could have been thinking when I signed up for this, as it takes away some of my leisure time, when I could be enjoying being a grandmother , and sometimes severely stretches my brain cells beyond recognition , but I think I'm glad to be doing it.
It will be good to have a certificate that says I can do what I've been doing for 15 years now!!

I have enrolled to start this course starting next week, I was wondering if anyone else is doing it too??
And could those who have already done this (J from Dorrigo) could give some advise on electives. eg, what worked well for school Lab Tech's???
Thanks Trish
