As per the title has anyone been on this course and would you recommend it?
i have aver been very critical of the BDS course and I have made no secret of that fact...
but I have been informed by the head of there training department that they have revised and upgraded there course.
as a result of the review I shall be attending the course on the 25th April
looking forward to seeing what the course has to offer.

I imagine any practical element within the syllabus, or lack thereof, is always going to be a significant challenge for a course provider?

Good Morning, I have just attended the Jelen HAD course and can only say it was an excellent day. We spent all morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon in the classroom followed by a very interesting afternoon on the range testing various HAD methods and weapon systems. Well worth the money spent

Hi Tony,Just curious .... are the BDS still giving out certificates of attendance for just turning up or are they actually training people now?
I have been a BDS member for 30 plus years and did the HAD course at Cirencester out of interest and was hugely disappointed ......
Hi Tony,
like you I am just a member,
but I am sure there course is a lantra certificated one just like the jelen one,

I agree Steve, I found the course very informative and the practical demonstrations useful, I was surprised at how easy it was to miss the vital areas at such close range!

we shall see What they have done Tony,Hiya
The point I was trying to make gently and hopefully without making it too big a deal(!), was there is a world of difference between getting a (BDS) Lantra certificate of attendance and a (Jelen) Lantra certificate of training ... one you get for staying awake, the other you have to work for and be tested ....
Tony
we shall see What they have done Tony,
as I said I was very out spoken as to the content of the BDS rta course at a HAD meeting last year, but as I also said the BDS have now addressed that problem,so we shall see.
I am not against the jelen course in fact I have been asked my Mike to come to the next one,I have also helped Mike out with advise and pics.
Tony
Gents, could anyone supply a list of course dates for HAD and costings/locations etc please as very interested in attending one.

Dom
