new year and alot of people on here will be wanting some guidence as to which training centre to use..

SO everybody get your reasons in and why they are good or bad..

this is also going to used as research for the sccr.keep it clean.
 
I liked UTN at wakefield but when I did my part 1 in 96 I went to SIS in Nottingham and what I liked there was the hemping tower for people that couldn't top out it gave them abit of confidence.Funny though as kids you get now a days can't seem to tie a ladder don't they train them to tie them anymore
 
only ever been to Erith was the closet to London , did send my lads there and they seemed to do ok there, the Instructors always returned my calls whenever i had a query.
So on the whole nothing bad to report but i have nothing to compare it with.
 
i went to bircham newton for my part one,i give that place a 9 out of ten,i took part two and advanced at training 2000 blackburn,ide give them a ten out of ten.both good places.:cool:
 
I did my training at the' University of life' worked well up till now, 10 out of 10.
I also had to get a card, so i did my advanced at ************** 1 out of 10
 
I went to **** in ******* did the 2 weekends, got a gold card, what a waste of time, 7 men doing a raking shore 5 of them holding the drawing upside down, answers to the written questions on the desk, all the usual crap.


Obviously no one failed 2/10
