Lecturer was really good, I felt confident and enjoyed the discussion that took place. The course notes though were poor and out of date. There were countless errors within it. The lack of lunch facilities was very disappointing and is likely a deciding factor in future course choices.

Trainer was excellent.He explained things clearly and was patient. The venue is looking a bit tatty, holes in the ceiling, well worn decor. Method of training, may l suggest doing the technical test one day and the documentation test on the final morning It would be less pressured
