Most Safe pass tutors advertise in the Evening Hearld and Irish Independant, small ads, under construction, can be up to 20 courses advertised, price from 95-170!
One of the problems identfied in the Claritas report was, its the same course for 16 y old as it is for 50 year old specilists.
I was involved on a course where 3 Intel safety Directors where made to do the course along with the security guards, gardeners, and catering staff of many nationalities, because its mandatory. In these days of APL and CPD, their experieces counted for nothing.
I do agree that the course is poor and FAS has gone down in my estimation since i have seen the goings on you discribe however I must stress that the majority of MD's and senior managers should do the course along with joe soaps, they as well as anyone can wander into the wrong place at the wrong time. They do learn a lot from discussions on these courses with the window cleaners / gardeners / construction workers etc.
just my opinion.
