LEGAL TENDER has hit the nail on the head. We have two staff either on, or due for the ADC course. Both are being sent to a certain college in Wales for their courses. Reasons: 1. It's much cheaper. 2. It's a shorter course. 3. They can be fitted in immediately with no p*ssing about. Perfect for what we want.
Of course, that means Hurn has two less people requiring training, which means more likelihood of cancelled courses due lack of demand. Either the college will be out of business soon, or NATS will insist on accepting only those who have passed through Hurn.
About a year ago NATS were looking into the possibility of buying/merging with C*mbran. Doesn't seem to have been much progress there.
