Cant remember exactly how much but about £200 ish. Prices vary from centre to centre.

I have several cats on my license. All have been worthwhile and fun

i have the tank, i have the sub pump, i have the 5 ton ratchet straps

i have a wide array of fixings and spreader plates, eye bolts, U bolts etc etc

still not fitted, i had to stop work today at 2, as i was in so much pain, i did work 15 hours though yesterday, so i guess that didnt do the hernia that much good

oh and your right, it was Guile

Go to Ipaf.org and check out your local training provider.

Its usually much cheaper to get a handful of 'codes' under your belt in one day...1b 2b 3a 3b etc etc etc..

Normal rate seems to be around £150 for one class - but you can add other classes to your licence for an additional £15.00 each (if you do them on the same day).

Check out the website and give your local provider a ring.

Probably worth doing all of them on the same day!

Own back - I just contacted the local hire depot and they gave me the details 

Like David says do as many cats in a day as you can as its much cheaper

i went on a MEWP course 2 weeks ago. it cost me £175 + vat and was for scissor lifts. the course consists of a multiple choice exam , 25 questions. - you need to get 80% correct, then the instructor goes throught the questions the group got wrong. then there is a video, then you are given a booklet, then you take the test again - but you can use the booklet! then you get about 5 minutes manouvering a scissor lift about, avoiding manholes and not bumping into anything. then you pass. in our group there were 6 on the course and 3 passed, but 1 didn't want to pass, 1 was dislexic and the other didn't like heights! (no kidding). do the course if you'll use it and earn from it, if not don't bother. you don't get a certificate for your kitchen wall.
