    My Diesel Claim?

    @johnb2713 i am assuming that you had just dropped off your last student who had left the hand brake off, only the wheels are turning but no one’s driving? I suppose if I could pan out on the picture I’d see you running down the hill??

    Re-training, with some past experience

    What you need to ask is what was the remit for gaining entry onto the course and you want it in writing from them not their website. Also see what advertising they have on their website regards the qualifications and what it allows you to do.

    Re-training, with some past experience

    Re-training, with some past experience

    Sorry to say DC those course numbers do not correspond to EAL or CG and therefore I’m inclined to say you’ve been sold a herring.

    Re-training, with some past experience
