NA> Dates: Three Thursdays in July - 11th, 18th, and 25th.

NA> Time: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

NA> Place: Novell's Portland office. You can find directions and a map here:

NA> Text: ALC gives a textbook to each student.

NA> Cost: $325

NA> How to register: Call ALC's office at 503-635-6370

NA> I've never taken a course from Ed but I have heard from several people
