What condescending crap do they feed to you on these course nowadays?

Don't know Dave , I wasn't listening

Got to do 5 days of CPC before next September....
Now that is incredibly hard.

Especially if you have ground hog day..... Same coarse 3 days running and last 2 same.... Why not do 1 days coarse each year, ive done 2 already off the next lot so 7 so far lol..

I've got over 200 to get through their cpc next year, it's ridiculous that you can do the same 7 hours 5 times and it'll count, I used to be sceptical about the courses, but having now done a few, the base knowlage of the law and equipment, let alone the taco laws run in conjunction with the EU WTD is shockingly low, and now the the DSA is self funded, it's in people's interest to know this stuff.

I’ve managed 3x in the last 6 weeks, then another is tbc on either the 3rd or 10th November , and the final one on the 17th is already booked. Doing two consecutive Saturdays is mentally exhausting so I most likely will be doing 3rd & 17th. At £80 a pop (lunch included) it’s also draining my wallet.
The 1st & 2nd where the same module, and I expect the 4th to be the same.
There’s a firm in Immingham (J R trucking) doing them at £37 a pop, (inc tea/coffee & upload) they also do them at Barnsley

This is interesting as I just got a pull for doing 72 in a 60 limit on the M1 2 weeks ago. So they have offered me a course but on researching this option I read that insurance companies ask you if you have attended said course and if you reply yes they can and do load up your premium.
Any experiences of this
