Title: L4 Instructor Assessment, Saturday 6th November - Free L4 Training!
Post by: Matt on October 28, 2010, 14:42:46: Hey folks,

The ICU are running a Level 4 Instructor assessment in Wicklow next Saturday, the 6th of November and are looking for people to come along on the day.

This day is ideal for anyone looking to do some level 4 skills training, or anyone looking to do a level 4 assessment in the near future. As part of the instructor assessment, the assessees have to coach level 4 skills to a group.

If you're interested, post up here or give me a shout on 087 9779231.

Cheers

Matt

Post by: Maryanne on October 29, 2010, 18:59:23: Hehehe, a real skill Eoghan, you have to precision engineer a "scenario" or two to make sure you keep everyone on their toes! Especially yourself, as you clamber for the bank straight after...

I'm definitely interested, I have tickets for the Strauss Ball that night though... Ah, I'll make it work! Just need a fairy godmother type figure...
Cag and spraydeck...to dress! Helmet and river grime...to fancy hair and make up!

Totally doable.
