Hi Jeremy,
Yours is a point of view, for sure. But let's not get personal.
Some independent trainers appear to have little knowledge of IT which can (and in our experience has) caused problems with student systems.
The point I was trying to make is that separating the training from the equipment supply means that the student has yet another provider to contact.
Many, many students have given up at that point, resulting in wasted investment in the solution.
Kind regards, Tony
