No They dont need to come to your school for this, let me know if you want to know the dates, they are probably listed on the PECS UK website too. I have a note downstairs i think if you need to know.

If you've got them that would be great! Mandi - am going to tackle the

Mears re some more PECs training. He says its not about the money for

courses but the cover! From what you're saying thats just a cover for

not wanting to spend out is it? Or was he ok about sending staff out for

training courses - would appreciate the low down so I know how to plan

my attack!!!
