2) If you read others slagging off advanced trainers, might that put you off getting advanced training?

No Graham, that's out of context, insert:- 'slagging off the IAM', nobody has slagged off advanced trainers in general on this thread, just the IAM.[/quote]

Hmm: "It's the preaching aspect of it that puts me (and many others) off doing it, from RoSPA and the IAM both." - Aegis Bearing Mel.

And that's their problem, not other advanced trainers problem.

With respect, I think the problem is with those slagging them off. If someone doesn't like them or their methods or whatever, fine, that's up to them, but when someone starts posting inaccurate generalisations or thinking that because *they* don't like the IAM based on their personal perceptions (or should that be prejudices?) then the entire organisation should be disbanded, that's just getting ridiculous.
