The Video Course was filmed in 1999
Here are the refinements to make your
techniques more efficient
The comments in Blue are comments like you would receive if
you were doing the test. In other words, I am “testing” the
video course in today’s standards.
The red print is the reason for the slight changes that
have been added over the past seven years .
