true enough. I think the problem here comes in that the course is held at a university's campus where they do forestry and arb courses etc, but it's not their tutors who take the courses. they bring in an external guy to take the course and then of course an external examiner. I think the breakdown in communication is them trying to get in touch with him. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt just for now. This was certainly the case with the chainsaw courses I took at the same place.

anyway. ive spoken to someone who's colleagues took the course at the same place and he said they took exactly what was on the list and the college supplied the rest, if there was a 'rest'.

so in short, I'll follow the list to the letter and i cant go far wrong i reckon
