Never heard of that one!!. .. .Bear in mind that it is the FTO that is the approved training provider NOT the instructor.. .. .If this satellite thing you talk about can be done it would reqire the FTO to become involved with another organisation. Can you imagine the paperwork and costs involved!!. .. .Remember that FIC instuctors teach other courses as well. I can imagine what would happen here if the boss was asked to set that up, and let a senior instructor away for 2/3 weeks in order that a student could train nearer to home!!!. .. .Can you advise where you got this from?. .. .I think that in the long run Eff Oh would be cheaper an quicker booking a B&B in Perth for a couple of weeks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
