Hi all. These are remarkably useful and generous responses. Thank you.
I’ll have a think and process.
I think the idea of boshing through the Stages is a good plan as I can do that whilst still at work I think.
lots to think about and thank you so much for taking the time to respond at length (and so, ahem, honestly!). Very useful.
right. Better get to work ??

Yeah... no.

Do not underestimate what is required to pass Stage 2 and 3 in a convincing, non-book learnt way (assessors can see straight through it). You also need to be training with someone/a centre so they can sign you off, you'll need to take annual leave to take the exams, and you'll also need to ride a few exam horses.

Which fair, Jellymoon?!

Haha, love it! I have dreamt of running away and joining the circus (eg Gifford’s, riding horses!) but never a fair!
