Yes oddly enough I work there as well u didn't pass me on the way to llanharen this morning by any chance?

Any way never mind that I only ask because my company has a depot in Swansea and if you live or WORK ! in Swansea you can get it for £30 I did.

They never asked any questions when I booked on the phone I just said I live in Port Talbot and WORK ! in Swansea.

Might be worth a try if you can say you work in Swansea or any other area where subsidised courses apply then you might be OK.

To be fair I would be happy to pay more than £30 it's well worth it but I wouldn't let the powers that be know that.

Let us know how u get on.

Was just going to post this.
Big  :thumb_down from me I'm afraid, thats an extra ~ 4 hours of commuting. Not cool when I have an exam the Monday. Ah well, I have emailed to request alternate dates - lets see what happens!

This affects me too as I'm booked on the May course in Cardiff. Not a major a change though is it? Treforest Industrial Estate is only about 15 mins north (out of Cardiff and a short way up the A470) of where the original course was taking place (somewhere in Cathays wasn't it?). Lucky for me I'll be going from Whitchurch so getting to the new venue probably won't take any longer for me.

Hopefully see a few of you there! :scooter

4 hours ???????

I reckon it's 25 mins tops from your house and if you reckon 4 x 25 mins = 4 hours then I wouldn't bother turning up for your exam on Monday

Lol don't know what I did on google maps the other day but it said 57 minutes. Fair play I'm a first class retard. Still, I am unhappy, could have stayed over that girls house round the corner in Cathays. Ya know the one I mean Dave - that one I groom?

Had my exam timetable today got an exam on 30th May so I am hoping due to the added inconvenience of the change of venue they will allow me to attend a different date  :scratch
