Title: Is the Extracta training course worth going on?
Post by: Roger on October 12, 2005, 07:22:27 pm

Hi there all,
I have read a lot about the various training courses, NCCA, Prochem etc, but I have not read any reports about the Extracta course in Gateshead. They only run a one-day course.

I may consider the course as its not too far from where I live and I also have an Extracta machine.  Im in that 'untrained and not started trading yet' group.

Comments greatly appreciated.

Roger. ;D

the course is a good start i attended one in september, but i dont feel it is enough they try and cram a lot into that one day i myself am also going to attend another course this time 2 day.
it will give you a bit of knoledge of the buisness but you will be far from a expert.
having said that i did learn a lot and enjoyed.

Extracta are a long time in the game, their courses must be worth going to. Any course , no matter where is better than doing no course at all.

If your in that neck of the woods do a one day course with Paul Dyson. Personally I think this will be much more beneficial.

Paul is the Chemspec distributor in Newcastle (Westerhope) He is a long time in the game and is a good tutor. He can probably taylor a session around yourself.
Give him a ring on 0191 2867388

 Yep third that, Paul Dyson is also a woolsafe instructor.

Strangly enough he was traing one of extracta trainers on his last woolsafe course, so know who I would go too. He is also a invaluable source of info on those oddball problems.
