Please could you tell me where (abouts if not certain) the Dumfries course will be held? The old county of Dumfries is quite big… and we are at one extreme of it! Want to make sure distance would be manageable on a daily basis… Or is it v close to the town of Dumfries itself? Thanks!

Try Josh Osborne in Alnwick, Northumberland (look him up on FB). He's an AW and can assist with your DSC2.

My sep course was for LANTRA certificate - awaiting physical copy but pass/ fail and percentage takes about two weeks.

Yup, my BDS was LANTRA too - I was just wondering whether like DSC 1/2 and PDS 1/2, we are going to have a similar duopoly of DMC...........................

 

[308tikka]

To be fair to caprelous/countystalking/pds etc, if they have a LANTRA cert then fair enough - for knowledge based exams if to the same standard. Not quite so supportive for a PDS2….

 

[JD93]

Will there be any additional date? Are there any plans on hosting a DSC1 in Lancashire within the next year? I understand one hasn't been noted above however worth asking the question.
