Interesting meeting last night a number of issues I will raise with committee
For those that are considering the Advanced exam i would recommend the Bath Based Advanced Distance Learning (BBADL) course. 20 weeks training with about 2 hrs a week required. There is a test each week to keep the pressure on. Cost is only £30 which is refunded if you are on track after 12 weeks.
May i also add my thanks to Duncan, John & Tony for giving up to allow Hayden and myself to take the online Advanced exam today.
Thanks to Duncan, John and Tony for giving up a sunny Saturday to facilitate the Advanced exam today ( and on-line as well !!!) much appreciated and we both passed so worthwhile. many thanks Hayden 2E0HMG
