stevef, I have the upmost respect for the guys who completed and attempted the BCAR exams and Orals.
I admit that I would have struggled and to the guys who completed it had to know there stuff and was unable to blag there way into a licence.
So please, no one take this as my dig to any licence holder BCAR or B1/B2.
Just when I read people saying that the B1/B2 licence is watered down then I do take offence to that as I know from experience, and from my colleages how hard it is to complete and thanks to chunk sized courses it makes it less harder! {Kinda}.
Remember Kuchen, I learnt from the BCAR section L guys and I cant thank them enough for making me how and where I am today!
