Sounds great
I think this is a great idea! I’d like my son and daughter to participate, as well.
I think it’s great!!! Would like to know the fees. BUT excellent!
Ester Blomerus are you from SA??
Yes! Have we perhaps met somewhere? All the very best! But there are more than one Ester, I think. I am from the Southern Cape.
Count me in, is there a cost involved or is this to be run as a MOOC?
If the course meets the expectations that the blog has given then it will be Lind blowingly good.
Thanks
I think this course seems very interesting.
I am interested in taking the course. The final decision is dependent upon the tuition.
This sounds like a very good course. Thank you for offering such studies. I will be interested in how much tuition will be and also was curious to know if any form of college credits are available by taking the course.
Thank you.
Shalom my friends.
Personally, I would be interested. For me it’s about knowing more. Cost is a major issue for me. therefore, I hope it’s affordable and taught in a manner that is understandable.
A very good and exciting idea, I think.
