It always annoys me that £300 is thrown around as the minimum cost of DSC1 and all these vastly experienced stalkers have to pay £300 to sit on a course that will teach them nothing just to get a piece of paper when they could sit assessment only for less than half that price.
surley if the 4 day is more indepth then resists shouldn't be common?Another benefit of the four day course which I attended was that, for anyone who failed one of the modules, it was possible to resit that module on the final day, using new exam papers.
A couple of people took advantage of that opportunity and so were able to pass, without having to resit at a later date, perhaps when the training was not so fresh in their minds.
The tutor also was willing to take each of us, individually and in private, through our incorrect answers, whether we had passed or otherwise.
Obviously none of us were told that we had definitely passed, but those who had failed to reach the necessary score were told why, and given the opportunity to re-sit immediately.
I understand from previous discussions here that not all providers do this.
I'm not particularly sure why people go on the courses. Time for me is very precious and since you can buy the manual with all the information and questions. There is not that much to know and if you can play the deer recognition online it's easy. The only question I got wrong is one I disagree with the answer on!

I have been to numerous level 1 courses and best practice events etc and have always learnt something.
