lady jane Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Posted March 26, 2006 the course starts at nine and finishes at five thirty. cost Quote
TomBettle Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Up until the Summer I was based out of Universal Marina and did my own radio course with these guys. Very good, helpful and friendly. For those in Poole, there are several local people doing the courses, not least my old mates at Cruise Control who have excellent classroom facilities and a fully equipped training centre just around behind Toys R Us.

Maverick Martin Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 A number of members recently took a course with a chap in Wareham who's name slips me at the mo but he was very reasonable in both price and skill. I'm sure Charlie will update us with his details Martin Quote
