We would like to arrange a CAT 4 training course in the not too distant future.

 

We are looking at a venue somewhere around the Midlands and the cost is likely to be in the region of £120 for the day.

 

We would need 10 or more participants to make it viable, so before we start working on any more detail could you please put your name forward if you are interested. You need to be 18 or over, to train on CAT 4.

To add a tiny bit more detail this course will be a recognised course so will help you to get insurance if you actually want to buy and use CAT 4.


Phew that was close.

If it helps I have discovered a possible location close to billing aquadrome in northamptonshire.
Had to delay a planned meet with the owners though I have scoped it out.

Subject to dates not conflicting etc., there's one, possibly 2 of my guys who could do with some training.

Who is providing the training? Is the IC or BPA based?

There are possible options for either at the moment as I understand it. More information to follow in due course

Oh - I'd just assumed it was Illuminate as in previous years..

I would imagine that makes it harder for people to sign up, if they don't know what they are signing up for?

I've done both, I'd probably be happy to do the IC one again as a refresher - BPA however, I wouldn't bother.

You'd learn more from reading an outdated American book  :)

If I could throw in my tuppence, the IC course followed by a society 'display' would be perfect.

Assuming there is a member willing to 'underwrite' the 'display' - there seem to be a few people around now who are providing cat 4 displays.
