    Hello

    I’m really interested in studying this course. I just have a few question in regards to the certificate. How do I attain a certificate of Good moral character? So does this course run from 8am – 12pm? which means its only a 4 hour class a day? How many days per week is that? and when do these classes normally start during the year? Do we get to do work experience for a company during the course? I would also like to know how much the course cost.

    Thank you very much

    Veronica
