change tack.....

I have close ties with a couple of training organisations and the interest in 
this sort of thing is generally:
Oh goody we can get free course material! Followed by:
Oh *** so can the student so we cant charge them!
Followed by mutters and rumblings about how these things should be illegal!!
Not many organisations will help to anihilate their revenue source! 
We just have to hope ICDL etc dont get encouraged to think the same way....
