Not that I am any expert or have insider information on this topic, but I can say that I have heard from some students who have had issues with the number of catches required in the three year course and the issues with follow thrus. Everyone should understand that there is always a period of seeing if things work and to highlight problems. My hat is off to all students graduating this years as the pressures on you lot are huge. Thanks to all students! Know there is a heap of support for you all! >From Jo
