[kictanet] ICDL - I apologise

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Robert,
We are still fighting the resistance from the colleges.  There must be
some examining body to ensure that the sylabbus is covered and the student
can make good use of the training.  Unfortunately, in this country we want
to make money at the expense of our unsuspecting sisters and brothers.


Regards


Ndemo.
