Today i have had the delight of parting with £234 of my money for a PA1 course. I was keen to learn everything i needed to know ie the law, how you should store certain chemicals etc and other things i dont know about.
Myself and the other participents have been totally ripped off. 09:15 The instructor spent 2 hours talking about the company being shut down soon then we had a break for 15mins.
11:30 We started looking at a roundup label. Within 10-15 mins the lunch arrived which was a few hard oven chips and fish finger sandwiches. Lunch break begins....
13:00 we continue looking at a roundup label........
15:00 finally finished reading the label.
15:00-16:30 A precession of stories from the instructor mostly unrelated to pesticides. Then finally just about squeezed in a little worksheet basically repeating what was on the label.
PA1 knowledge gained read the label....
He gave us some decent handouts but I would have more understanding if i collected the hangouts in the morning and went home and read then for 30mins.
With the assessment next we i have no more knowledge then when i woke up this morning. Possibly the most pointless day of my life and I had to pay £234 for it.
(Ps the guy doing the course was a nice chap but the content was shocking)
