"1.Low number of candidates (there were 7 on our course), this gave everybody a good opportunity to ask questions that were relevant to their own circumstances.

2. The trainer himself (Russ Cockburn) - extremely knowledgable and being an ex-HMRC Inspector he could give plenty of real-life examples.

3. The training handout - although we didn't refer to this much in the classroom, I feel this is a good publication useful to reference to as it gave legislation reference numbers."
