So if your'e coming from down south or up north for that matter to do the exam you have no choice but stay in the hotel for the night so as to attend the CCDO the next day, either that or travel all the way home after the exam. Why not let people take the exam on the CCDO and save people all that extra expense? Better still let people take the exam at home and submit by post? What happens if you don‚t pass the exam? Do you have to do the clean training course and then retake the exam and what is the cost of that? Is the exam deliberately weighted to fail as many as possible to take up training places? That may be an unfair question but in order to be fair to the entrants has the paper been independently scrutinised to make sure it is fair given the likely skills of the entrants?
i think you can choose to read glyns post in an anti clean way, like a complaint to the bbc style voice, or you can read it as a polite inquisitive multiple question type way, he even accepts that some of his questioning is unfair.
i get tricky customers who ask difficult questions, some relevant, some not, but i choose to answer as best as possible to sway them to my way of thinking rather than take offence by them. i think clean need to take a step back, 3 deep breathes and a chuckle to relax, and then set about getting people on there side rather than forcing them further away. difficult or near impossible? maybe. but theres a lot of fence sitters out there who see these awkward questions as relevant.
just my views on the thread and subject, take it or leave it, just don't have a cow over it.
