Hey DaveCrawford,
Incase you never knew already, this is Andy from your Stage 3 (The Andy who had to wait forever for his results

)
Good news on your start date. I got in touch with the other Dave and sounds like he's on the same course as you.
I think I will need to get my Class 1 out the way before I get my start date, but I think I will get the same course if you 2 are on it. Area was my preference and it seems thats what they are looking for at the mo.
Well, keep yer fingers crossed for me on Monday
Andy
