I'm registered (but not paid) for the Wordfast Classic training course on 3rd August but am not going to be able to do the course on that day. Can I re-register for the course on the 26th August instead? Do I need to cancel the registration on the 3rd (and if so, how?), or will it automatically expire if I don't submit payment? Thanks.

Hi Jennifer, This course will be held in Johannesburg. The course in Mumbai on the 26th has been pushed back to September 7th. This is not an on-line training... not sure if that is clear! I'll be in Brazil in February/March...
Keep me posted! John

Right! Silly me! Seriously bad translator moment here - didn't read the details fully! I will not be in Jo'burg OR Mumbai any time soon, so will have to wait till you come to Brazil. Will now try and figure out how to un-register for the course on the 3rd. Many thanks John, looking forward to meeting you.
All the best, Jennifer
