Before you come: your dates, your joining instructions and what to bring. The workbooks and videos for your units are already in there, so you can work through the theory at your own pace. It keeps track of what you have covered, and there is a coach you can ask about anything on this course.
Afterwards it does not close. Your certificate goes in it and stays in it, along with every other ticket you get from us, and it tells you when one is coming up for renewal rather than you finding out on site.
