Hey All
Just thought I would say Hi and say a little about my first week of training.
Now, firstly, the Ibis is not all that bad. I have read some pretty poor reports, but all in all its ok. The new rooms are slightly bigger and have Plasma tellys which makes studying and watching 'X Factor' at the same time even easier! Food wise it will cost you about £8 for a meal at the hotel, large portions but food is cheaper else where. The local pub is next to Asda and serves the 'Two Meals for £6.95' deal. To be honest it's good food and plenty of choice too. Most of the other trainees just snacked on Pot Noodles and stuff during lunch breaks. The training itself is presented in quite a laid back way. There is a lot to take on board, but so long as you do your reading homework properly it really is not rocket science.
The first exam is the 'Generic', all exams are mulitple choice and have an initial pass rate of 90%. In the first exam however there are a few commands to learn word for word. Again a couple of hours writing them out, and you get the hang of things. Punctuality is a big thing and being a second late (the screen counts all breaks down in 00:00 format) will loose you points. In a nutshell, you start with 9, and must have 1 left to graduate. Again nothing to worry about just appriciate that time is money for a opeator like this. I have really enjoyed the first bit, so good luck to anyone that is soon to start, by the way I will be the one in my new orange uniform come Wednesday!!
Ps If you are a lad and that way inclined, the female Totty is FFFantastic!!
