Plans with a risk assessment.

[Dinnertime Dave]

However when you look at the downsides of using the College:
Course costs of well over £1000 a week;
Appalling accomodation in some cases;
The College dictating when their customers (our students) will be allowed to attend the courses;
Large class sizes 30+ which rules out any real student centred activities or individual attention;
Appallingly laid out lecture theatres which are totally unsuitable for modern teaching practice;
The ocassional instructor who knows less about Fire Safety than the students (Present company excepted);
Padded out courses containing irrelevant material and 'Personal Study' time (even on some of the one week courses!)

johno - you forgot to mention the food

I wondered why they called you Dinertime Dave!!

I seem to be in a minority but I think the food is fine (suppose it's what you are used to!) :/

OK , so we all agree that PAS 79 as was, was 'poor' but we were all told at the time by the 'wise one' that we were out of step with the 'wise ones' thinking !  Which was always right.

But now it changes 'slightly' because of the new legislation or guidance !

The prinicples of means of escape or risk assessment have not changed, it is just that ( I hope ) the professional and passionate amongst us, are gaining a voice.  

The principles of means of escape and justifying a decision, as opposed to ticking a box and saying ' means of escape are satisfactory'  I hope are coming to the fore, and eventually ( I know its a long way off ) can all start to speak as one voice based upon common principles and not on ego,  and/or filling your pocket.

Then fire safety will be a professional industry and not a 'bu****it one,  that is argued by everyones opinion that suits there cause ( or bank balance) and not on common principles.

if I'm wrong may 'lightning' strike me down !
