Open Sessions for Advanced Training will continue,
on Saturday afternoons from 1300hrs to 1500hrs (1pm to 3pm). I describe these
sessions as Open because we are going through the Advanced Syllabus;
continually cycling through the lesson content so it doesnt matter at which
point you begin to attend. Exam dates will be negotiated on an individual
basis.
You are also welcome to attend simply to put a
question to our panel of experts. We reserve the right to research answers to
any questions of an advanced nature, before offering you
our response.
Wednesday Q and A Sessions and Electronics Projects
From 1000hrs to 1230hrs (10am to 12:30pm), on
Wednesdays from 6 September, we will be engaging in open Q and A Sessions: Come
with a Question, an Idea or a Circuit diagram. As a
group we will look at it and scratch our heads.
From 1300hrs to 1530hrs (1pm to 13:30pm), on
Wednesdays from 6 September we will complete short, three-week, practical
projects according to the following schedule.
