I feel that I must reply to a couple of points in CM(2-8 Sept) regarding DGSAs and the old CPC.
A colleague and myself run a small training company in the West Midlands offering DGSA, CPC, ADR. fork-lift training, etc. In our experience the only people to blame if there are not enough advisors by the end of the year will be the hauliers themselves. We have been offering DGSA courses since May this year (the instructor concerned does have a full DGSA certificate).
The courses are advertised in this magazine and your sister publication Motor Transport but the results have been very poor—since May we have received only a few enquiries.
The other courses are running quite well, which brings me to my other point.
While I sympathise and to some extent agree with G Rose about CPC exam failures being given another chance, the only people that can be blamed for not informing candidates what would happen if they failed any part of the June examination are at the CPC centres.
All the candidates who entered the June examination through our centre were informed as early as mid-May what the new system would be. P Ford, PF Training, Werinesbury, West Midlands.
