I'm on the penultimate week of England in the time of Richard III and week one of the forensic science one. Both very interesting: the former is full of interesting students and their comments are providing some excellent links.

There a common thread there. Been digging around any car parks lately?

I've signed up for the introduction to forensics. I was went for a job interview for scenes of crime many, many years ago.

That's what I signed up for too

goodness, what an array of courses - Ive seen a few that interest me just spending a few minutes browsing. How do they make it pay?

They're fairly small courses, probably edited from bigger ones they run. Consider it advertising?

They've just announced there will be a certificate of completeness following an exam at a local centre if you wish. There will be a charge for this. I make no comment on te cost or the value, because I don't know.

My daughter (15) has signed up for a Java programming one. Starts next week I think. Looks really interesting (she ought have made a simple game by the end of it).

To which courses does that apply, Nick?

The forensics one. I've avoided the course, because of noisy Americans, but I'll catch up in my own time. It was in this week's email.

Ah! I've sort of put that on hold: I'm doing a charged course which is much more intense.
