Okay my local refresher courses are ran twice yearly. Ive missed this entry for Nov 2010 so going to attend the June 2011 course. 3 hours 6-9 for one night only. Cant do any harm. Apologies I was unaware these courses were not ran in all DAFNE centres.

Hope all you are in good health.

Best wishes

Hi Jennifer Iden, yes its me you contact about being 'promoted' from a user to a graduate, just contact me via the 'contact us' link at the
bottom of every page or via the 'message inbox' in the right hand menu. We can then sort out what details we need from you to do it.

Hiya I've not heard of the refresher courses but I'm hoping that I will be getting a letter as to the date of the yearly up date. Has anyone else had there 6 monthly meeting cancelled?

Kentbabe, your 6 monthly as cancelled because your Educator had problems outside work as well as a very heavy workload. She has promised to contact theose that had their meeting cancelled in the near future. I only know because its my DAFNE Centre and someone I know locally was in the same situation and wanted me to find out what was happening.

I don't think the refresher course being referred to in tihs thread is the same as the refresher course I was talking about, yours sounds more like the 6 week and 6 month get togethers after the original course. It may be that your DAFNE centre does them on a continual basis on over a number of years I don't know. Most centres do not do this due to funding I believe.
