Myself and jenny attended this course so I thought I would give my feedback for those who are "on the fence" about looking into it.

Firstly the workshop was excellently delivered by paul, there was a lot of great discussion from everyone in the room about their concerns, expectations, comments they had heard off someone, who knows someone who worked of an AAAC. It was really good to be able to voice these to, well, paul who deals with the course so has first hand experience.

I especially liked the information on the scheme being a stage 2 safe contractor scheme where as CHAS and others are stage 1. It really helped us highlight areas we need to develop and implement pieces to allow us to become a better contractor with better operating procedures in place.

As for the affiliate contractor I can see this as a perfect stepping stone from a contractor to an arb approved contractor. We are currently deciding because of our workload wether to go down this route first, taking a bit of pressure off hopefully for when we go for full AAAC.

I can see that it's worth it for some companies but not all but still in my honest opinion I felt it was worth attending.

Thank you for your time paul it was greatly appreciated.
