And this all means nothing to the Customer!

There should only be one "Avenue" . You train , pass and then your legal and off you go. Then every time something big comes along your required to so a "short course " etc. It like Corgi, thats a mess. The public are ripped off and the members also. Its just money for nothing.

The amount of messing about these days is unreal:-)
