Below we give the dates and locations of courses for in-house Trainers and also give an indication regarding availability of places left on them.
We do try and update this page with new dates as they are confirmed, however courses can fill up quickly and so may not get listed. It will usually be best to contact us with your requirements.
The long awaited PATS Trainers Refresher course is now available and is over one day.
The new 'Blue' Round of MiDAS will be available from the end of April 2009, 3 months later than it should have been.
We are starting the DAT's Refresher courses on the 27th April and the list of courses already arranged is below.
It is anticipated that the Refresher for the Car and MPV Observers (already delayed by one year) will be available by May or June. If you have a certificate that has expired, or about to expire just carry on with what you are currently doing and contact us so that we can keep you in touch with developments.
