Oxygen administration course. Sunday 24th July 2011
Posted - 6th June 2011
I now need to know definite numbers. To help this I require a deposit of £20.00 to cover set up costs and to stop time wasters. Balance for the course will be payable on the day. Final balance will be announced when we know how many training packs will be required and any additional training kits we need to hire and cost of the venue. We cannot hire a hall until you confirm your place by paying the deposit.
You will also need a passport size photo for your qualification card and your Qualification Record Book so that it can be signed on the day. This will save Jack being on my case and me on yours. Packed lunch on the day as time will be short is recommended. Refreshments will be available on the day.
