Yes. In my opinion of course.
The "system" used by the IAM is not the same as "The System" that I was taught.
And where do I say that?
It's been seriously de-send - read the comments on some of the police forums. eg: from your quoted item
"Topics such as learning to drive on country roads at night have been taken out because most officers will be driving on well-lit London roads.
All officers are clbutted as probationary response drivers for three months after completing the course and they are observed and buttessed during this time.
The advanced course has also been redesigned. It is four weeks long but is divided into two modules and not all officers will need to complete both parts. "
IIRC it used to be an 8 week course for Clbutt 1 drivers.
Anything you'd like to get right?
