Rustle
I signed up for the course in January 2000, went for the consolidation class in May of that year, and subsequently sat the exams at Gatwick in September - the delay was introduced as I went for the consolidation course not realising I hadn't completed all the modules, and then by not being able to get the time off work (I was living in Switzerland at the time, so it was a bit more difficult to get there)
The only thing not covered by PPSC was the morse - I used the cassette from Transair, and NuMors (shareware out on the web) which worked for me.
