Course Schedule

This course is carried out in an informal, relaxed manner without the pressure of exams and workbooks. Students are invited to bring photographs of any successful or challenging re-etches they have encountered since completing the IMI course, so we can have an open discussion regarding best practice and how we may be able to help you to improve your results in the future. This course is also available on a "we come to you basis" (Price On Application) for a minimum number of 6 delegates, saving their travel and accommodation costs. Mileage, accommodation, and sustenance for the trainer will be chargeable (We do not quote on this normally as most forces prefer to provide this due to discounts available to them, at Government rates) If you require a quote please ask. All enquiries including course availability should be made directly with the trainer nick.mayell@vinchip.co.uk or 07485 335615.

The cost of the course is £599 or POA for "we come to you" option + VAT per delegate.
