My only issue with taking a course that’s away from my home town is that I won’t be familiar with my surroundings. Worried it’ll affect my test
Like ROG said. Our pass rate (20% higher than national average) is achieved equally by local candidates and our many residential customers. The downside to being local is that, maybe, the candidate can be too comfortable that they are sure they know what will be round the next bend, junction etc. Not knowing the area keeps folks on their toes with brilliant results.
I don’t recall any residential customer failing a test for reasons that could be attributed to not knowing the area.
