Bring back URTU training
I ATTENDED AN URTU-run Driver CPC training course in Bristol last year and ind it unbelievable that URTU has had its approval withdrawn having presented a thoroughly professional course.
This course had been approved by JAUPT and we sat it in full. Nothing was skipped or left out and I want to see my day’s training reinstated by the DSA.
Granted it did not take seven hours, but the subjects were explained in great depth – so there were few questions when it came to question time.
If there had been a multitude of questions the course would have taken seven or more hours, but the majority of people on the course were experienced drivers. Talking to others, there seems to be 29 satisied and only two not, so I have to ask if these two had other interests.
The course cost £20 and was a non-proit making one, so have some decided they are going to nip this in the bud before their gravy train gets hurt? I doubt questions like this will get investigated or answered.
Furthermore, drivers gave up their Sunday, with many travelling great distances to the venue.
