Environment Minister warns of bogus instructors

BBC news today reported on a warning by the environment minister. Sammy Wilson, warned that illegal instructors may not have insurance, haven't undergone neccesary criminal checks and are not qualified, or able. to teach correctly. The bottom line is, always ensure you use reputable, established instructors such as our Derry based school and always ask to see their credentials, paying careful attention to the expiry date.
