Answer: We would like you to as there are a minimum number of hours that have to be logged for you to be entered in the exam, not to mention a lot of subjects that have to be covered. We make the course slightly longer due to this, at no extra cost to yourselves, so that unavoidable sickness or unexpected events do not cost you the chance to complete it. If you do have a date that you cannot attend please tell the trainer as soon as possible to make sure this is okay.
