its proving to be an expensive tick in the box and i cant send cv's out till this is done
Why wait? On my CV I had under my licences and ratings section, "MCC, PARC Dublin, tbc March 2007" or words to that effect. Like you say its a bit of a tick in the box although many of us landed jobs as a result of good performances on the course which got our CV's onto the right desks. Helped no end with a sim ride as well.
