I have a range of questions aimed at our guests separately. I will start with my questions for Mr. Hourihan and Mr. English and ask about the funding model because that is the unit of work we are doing. Would they give a quick run-through of the cost of providing education of this type and where that funding comes from? How much is coming from the colleges and how expensive is it to run these courses from a college point of view? How much is coming from employers and how much is picked up by the students themselves? I am hoping for a quick sense of that.
