As
this is “phase one” of our student / intern program there will be a
fair amount of “set-up” work involved, which subsequent students will
benefit from enormously. Since this is the case there will be no-cost
to participants until the 1st of August 2008.
Following August weekly charges will apply.
Students
wishing to become project managers or itinerant teachers would benefit
by getting involved to gain project management experience.

questions which the flier does not address please feel free to get in
touch with Lisa by phone +61 (0) 3 6445 0945 or email student@tagari.com
