| I'm doing the assessment day at Luton on the 4th October, feeling nervous about it. The only part I feel confident is about selling your chosen excursion. So who else is going to Luton on the 4th |

| Are you going to include the price ? |
Posted By: AndrewH
Date Posted: 20 September 2017 at 17:45
|
Yeah I know, but I have a habit of never putting it on charge before I go to bed. I never thought about prices, don't sound like a bad idea, shows how much effort you put into research |
