Due to our limited resources we can manage maximum of 2 students per course, therefore it is very important to book your spot as we can not accept more students then stated above unless special arrangements are made.  Remember, if there is only one student booked in for a course date you can book yourself for that same course date as well ( Max 2 students).  Do not hesitate and book. 

Since I am retired from the Military, PPG is my full time job, I am flexible every day and can conduct training around your work schedules and when weather permits. 

Frequently asked questions:

Do I have to come for the whole week? 

Not necessarily. Depending on your ability and weather, you can complete the course in three to four days. I do prefer if students sign up for the full course and complete the training in one week, but it is possible to attend on Saturday and Sunday and schedule the rest of the training days on individual bases.  If you are more then 6 hrs of driving away it makes sense to come for a week.

Where do I stay if I come?

There is camping, hotels and motels in Sussex area if required.  You can camp your tent or trailer on site.
