Thanks for your suggestions.

This training is purely about successfully passing the NBC knowledge test.

There will be additional information supplied about the new national standards as each is finalised. Currently, none of those standards are a compulsary requirement in Northampton and so will not be included in this course.

In the forces that would be "Nuclear, Biological, Chemical".

I suppose here you mean Northampton Borough Council - or do you deal with WMD's?

Started inviting PH drivers to reserve a place on the course (beginning January 2011) on Friday night.

By Saturday afternoon, we've had 2 definate reservations and loads of enquieries.

Due to NBC limiting the number of candidates able to sit the test at each occasion, we'll have to limit the intake.

So, it's first come, first served

Why have they limited the number of people able to take the test at any given time (apart from limited to seats available at the computers) and why should that effect the amount of candidates you take?

hia Toots..
(Wow.. Haven't been allowe to say that to a lady since the 70's.. Lol)
I don't know why.. It's a paper exam. So, just the way they want it I suppose..
I'll match their restrictions because, it's best to sit the exam immidiatly after learning. If the student then has to wait 8 weeks before the next one, the success rate would fall and that would be unproductive for the students.. So I've planned each course to finish the week before the next available exam.
