On the contrary to what some say here, I never had a problem with PTC. Slots were seldom cancelled and if they were I always got plenty of notice. Also the staff I dealt with were very helpfull in fitting me in to suit my schedule. I would say my experience was that those who maintained full/parttime employment completed thier training in almost the same time as those that were fulltime students. Thats probalbly due more to the Irish weather that anything else and a bit of luck aswell.
