Attended London course and really enjoyed the training although the days were long and they are pretty serious about being on time - One guy got kicked off the course for showing up an hour late. The trainer was awesome, heaps of experience and kept it entertaining. I passed my exam first time and so did the 2 guys I did the course with. Got my results within 5 days. Will definitely be back to do my advanced physical intervention once I have the cash.

5. More about London-Central

London is the UK’s capital city and one of the world’s most famous and popular tourist destinations. A hive for sight seers, day trippers and night-clubbers such as London will have an overwhelming number and huge variety of music venues, shopping centres, licensed premises and an array of other destinations for crowds of people who pour into the city from all over the world. The incredible spread of places in the city where someone can go to have a good time is an obvious boost to the economy and to the industries concerned, however there is an inevitable downside to this situation. This is the fact that wherever there are large crowds of people, there will be some individuals who will be only too happy to take advantage of the huge and endlessly refreshing supply of fresh wallets, strangers and personal possessions that pass through.
