The training provided was excellent. I’d also to say the trainer (Iain Gates) really knew his stuff & delivered the training in a very personable manner. The group numbered 7 & I feel this was close to the optimum number on the course. The only negative was the facilities… The water supply was frozen one morning (meaning the toilets were out of order too) which is exceptionally poor, especially as it wasn’t the first time apparently.
