Foundation Exam
Just got home after taking the exam..
I Passed
Did it twice in the early 90s when it was just the Class A and B licence.
i'll do it again i thought after some studying, only took 20 odd years to get around to it.
all done with no course.. going to aim for the intermediate about Easter (or it'll be another 20 years again)

Re: Foundation Exam
Congratulations on the pass. Could you not have used your previous RAE pass to get you ticket?

Re: Foundation Exam
Thanks Andy..
No, I took the old exam but failed it sadly.
i did a college course for the B licence but missed half of it because of my work pattern back then.
a lot of the stuff they asked, i had no idea of.. took a while but got there in the end

How did you cover the practical side of it without a course?

Same here. When I wake up every morning I push my elbows out. If I don't feel wood, then that's a good day.ChrisDX wrote:i won't leave it for 20 odd years like i did before..
