Its 250 a subject, one day seminar for around 8 hours per subject. I found them good, I would not have had the discipline to do the 14 week courses they happen around 8/9 weeks out aswel which means it focuses you at the right time, in my opinion anyway. I did them and found them good, some of my friends werent so happy but the room we were in in a hotel in dublin was the cause of that I think more than anything else and in fairness to the organisers that wasn't there fault coz the hotel screwed them. It was on in Jurys in Dublin and Cork the last time and was perfect. P.s It looks like i work for them or am on commission which I am not!! In fact I may email them and see if I can get a referral fee!!! ;) On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 12:20 PM, Ems <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi > > I just saw this conversation and have no idea what fe1 direct seminars > are...but i am v intrigued! i've only 3 in the bag and I'm going for 5 > in march/april, haven't signed up for any classes but would love a > crash course - if that's what this is... > > could you enlighten me?? when / price? > > thanks a mil > > Em > > On 17 Dec, 17:34, shaney <[email protected]> wrote: > > Opps didnt mean to keep that private, colm you can reply to the group > > if you want.
