Alex,
I have to say that I didn't particularly enjoy the course, but that was all down to me. I just wasn't prepared for it at all. I didn't study as much as I should have done. The course is no cake walk, so if you do apply for the course be prepared to study all the pre course material. There is a lot of content to cram in, just in a week, so homework is dished out like sweets.
Perhaps because I haven't been in any sort of training environment for a lot more years than I care to remember, It needed more force to hammer things home.
The instruction I received from Cookie was brilliant and he was very patient. The guys at CFT Tatenhill were very supportive and thanks to Craig for passing me.
I am looking forward to using the rating when it arrives, but maybe the wait will allow me to gather my thoughts prior to using it.
Glad I did it though.
