We’re now able to restart our training as they were stopped as I was seriously ill in hospital for 5 months plus my subsequent home recovery. I have now confirmed the dates for our latest training courses below, please contact Bob Glasgow at the email below to express your interest in the next course.

At CPSARC we offer all three levels of training – Foundation, Intermediate and Full. Details of courses can be found on the website (www.cpsarc.com) under training, plus below
They are now being run over the Autumn/Winter period in the Cockenzie & Port Seton Royal British Legion, Lounge or Hall (EH32 0EX)
Normal pattern is a Foundation Course followed by an Intermediate Course then the Full Licence Course and if time prevails possibly another Foundation Course.
If you are interested or know of anyone who is interested in any of the Training courses can you or the interested party contact me so I can get everyone registered, etc……
There is a fair amount of paperwork involved so the earlier I am contacted the better, plus fees paid allows me to purchase all the course material and confirm room bookings for the courses.
Note: Fees have changed due to the increase in our course running costs
