To give you a little background, without giving too much away, there was about seven of us in the group; I think only one of us was a project manager, the others all had varying positions within teams from the same company. Most of us had never met each other before.

I explained to the teacher, as soon as I arrived, that I believed I had been put in the wrong course by accident. The reply given was pretty much what I was expecting, and as the course had already been paid for, nothing was going to change. Basically the course should be relevant to everyone.

My aim is to add an extra part of the course each week, and the link will be added to the contents list above. So bookmarking this page would be a good idea.
