The pipeline is flowing

Hi dear readers and welcome to this, the final July blog of 2008. Well, here we are in the middle of the holiday season and Yes, the roadworks are certainly in full flow here in Central Scotland.

Some news of the on-line examinations for Chartered Banker. I can advise that three more subjects are now available for booking via the on-line system.

These are:

Call Centre Management
Financial Economics
International Business

As mentioned last week there are a few more subjects in the pipeline and students who are enrolled for a relevant subject will be advised when the final examination for that subject is available on-line.

Work is continuing on the on-line revision sessions for Chartered Banker and related diplomas, with a tutor now in place for each subject. We will be starting with the non-core subjects and upon completion of these our thoughts will turn to the core subjects.

As I speak Raymond is at a secret location somewhere in Scotland recording the voice over for one of these revision sessions. In response to the many requests from previous attendees at Raymond's courses, I can confirm that he will be recording this one in various accents.

Fife, Northern Ireland (That's a popular one) and Glaswegian (With a hint of Sir Alex Ferguson!)

If we have missed out your regional tongue please let me know and I will see what we can do for you.

"How's your Doric Raymond?"

"Very well how's yours"

Follow that the two Ronnies.

I have heard a couple of interesting snippets this week.

"Ah, 50 pence pieces,"

"You don't get many of them to the pound."


Signs you are getting old.

A reader of this blog was joking with his grand-daughter about being Superman and how he would have to find a phone-box to change into his costume.

"What, Grandpa," she piped up, "is a phone-box?"
