Hi people.
Not sure if the mods will like this post, but I have contacted them to ask, but no reply from them.
I would like opinions as to whether my below idea would be of use to anyone.
I am thinking that towards the end of the year, I would like to start a blog up writing on CP driving and other areas.
I'm not sure yet how to format it though, or who to run it through.
I recently posted a thread about advanced driving on CPW, which had been viewed nearly 2000 times, there was some great feedback, and my hope was that it might be useful to some of you, as I know many are keen to enhance your skills, and want work.
So the subject I wish to cover firstly, would be to relate information and knowledge of CP driving methods. From why you should do training, what the roles and responsibilities are, security, aspects of advanced driving etc etc. A big subject. You can check my profile to see my background if that helps.
Now I know that some driving techniques are covered in a CP course, but I also know, that some trainers actually haven't done that much CP driving. The driver, Principal or back up, can be looked down on. Wrong. A good driver can save heartache, embarrassment and lives, if trained properly. Other than perhaps the PPO, the driver is the one to get the Principal away from danger, if it hits the fan.
What I would like to do, is blog, let's say monthly at first, skills, techniques, tips, I have learnt over the years, and hopefully include include something you don't know?
This will be free information. I'm not charging anyone. I am hoping it will help some who, either decide to complete a course, or for those going on one soon and to give a heads up on what's required, or those who may just want a bit more info and a good read-I hope.
If this goes well, I may extend it to basic CP drills, etc, as it is in a manual. Let's face it, all the manual info us already in books and in the net, so I doubt I'll be divulging 'secrets'.
I realise there will be some TPs who may be thinking that I'm giving away info, that I'm taking away the need for them? but hopefully what this may do, is enhance your students with a bit of foresight before your course, and they might just become better students, let alone operatives.
I must say here and now, reading about something is good, but it is no match for taking physical and practical instruction on a course as well, you need both.
All I want to do is impart what I have learnt over years, to those who haven't had my background.
So is it worth my time and trouble. Be honest, if there's no point, I'll keep quiet.
Many thanks. Horse 49

and fed up trying to get together with others to deliver courses. So why not to give it away.
