I got 97% even though it was not needed but knew a few amount...
£150 for a one day or £299 for a two day course both including the exam and a regs book to use if you need one is pennies in the scheme of things if your on a tight budget. How much is the exam on its own ? and how easy to find a time and date to sit ?
