Classroom in the morning, practical after lunch. Test on the second day, not too hard.
Careful now/that sort of thing

You must read the book and be familiar with its contents, the course is more difficult if you haven't/aren't, also it raises things you may not understand so that you can be sure to have them answered on the course.

Read the book!

Make notes.

Read the book!

And finally.

READ THE BOOK!

I done the course a couple of weeks ago. The test was on the first day, it is easy though if you've been shooting for a while and been helping your RCO.

As I said read the book and take it all in - not just flick through it
If I were the trainer and you hadn't read it I would send you home!!!

Definitely read the book. I borrowed a copy before I got mine to go through it thoroughly, it seriously does help, especially when you're talking about danger zones and mils to know them.

This would have been great info for me when I went as I had no Pen or paper with me, I had to go to sainsburys to fetch these. would have been better if I had known. Take pen and paper. (Y)

It's not hard and the trainers in the classroom are there to help, so if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask.

have fun! :)
