Dizmo's Close Protection Course Day 1 (Fpos(I))

[Dizmo]

Greetings all. I've decided to post on here (in CB instead of education or career advice as it's more of a personal experience..) just in case anyone is considering doing the CP course either with Wilplan Training or with another TP however I can't give my opinion on other TP's as I'm with Wilplan!

I thought I'd let you all know what I think to the Wilplan Training CP course day by day whilst I tackle it!

Day 1 (yesterday).

FPOS (I) course Monday - Thursday

First day of the course wasn't what I expected! After a 2 hour car journey to the site I was expecting to have a site introduction and then cover the basics of First Aid at Work to ease everyone into the course. I was completely wrong, the course started intense, covering the basics but also dealing with reading of pulses, blood pressure and o2 stats. Although I was wrong I enjoyed the intensity and I can expect today to be even more intense. This part of the course is a training provider requirement so you have to do it but should you fail it won't stop you from going onto the CP part of the course from Friday onwards.

So to conclude (as I'm now running late for breakfast)...

Intense but enjoyable and the knowledge you take in from the first day alone is great. The tutors are great and have a good sense of humour - a requirement to get through the course without losing the will to live. The only downside - you don't finish till at least 17:00. First day: finished at 19:00. Accommodation is sufficient, the food (in with the package) is of a good standard and as far as the breakfast is concerned; I'll let you know!

That's it for now guys, I'll try and get back every day and let you know how things are progressing.

Take care everybody!
