I can only speak very highly of Stuart and CATS. He has such a thorough knowledge and was excellent. He got some guys through who thought that they never would. His eLearning setup appears thorough too.

I know people who have been through at various stages. Only good things have come back to me. My experience was a very happy one.

I'm thinking about CATS also however am slightly concerned that you don't really get much study material for the money... i.e. just a website.

taybird, how much was the accommodation for your stay at Luton? Was it just a typical B&B? Thanks

What is their learning material like? Is it worth getting printed copy or utilising their internet materiel would be adequate. How good are they in terms of preparing its student for their exams instead of just reading of their slides and giving information which is good for knowledge but irrelevant in terms of exams.

taybird, thanks for the reply. The cost of hotels for the brush up courses does concern me a bit i must say.

I finished at CATS in house around a month ago, loved it. The environment you work in is brilliant, as in the building itself and the other lads around you.

With regards to the information giving, you have the choice of online or the text books, or both if you have the money. I stuck with the text books, as well as the information given in class. Stuart supplies you with everything you need to know and more! Put it this way....you won't see anything in an exam that you haven't seen before. But it's like anything, you get out what you put in!

Don't have the mind set of, "oh, il pay extra and go to the in house, and pass all first time" A lot of people seem to think because your in house, you get it fed on a plate and you can't fail. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

I've met lifetime friends there, and highly recommend it.

Hope all goes well, good luck

Recently attended a brush up and stayed at the Lilley Arms B&B for £35/night, with WiFi. Stewart gave me a lift in to CATS each day.

Put the work in and you won't go wrong, I enjoyed it.
