Thanks for all the info once again

It's too early to tell for me bud, there's a lot of bad opinions on here about them so who knows.
They send you the information you need, clothing to take etc- guys wore jeans but others had outdoor clothing like walking trousers or works trousers.
You'll get boots from before you go up poles but the rest if the uniform might not come for a while and you won't use it on the course really.
Take notepad and pens, 99% of it is indoors and the shop they run is pretty expensive so stock up on lunch type food if you want and save receipts. Yea and coffee there is free. Breakfast is in the price ofthe hotel but evening meal is your responsibility- the hotel bar has a Kelly's discounted menu.
That's about it really, don't drink the night before your assessment, it doesnt go down well. And it's fiddly as f*** with shaky hands.
