Several of us on the PTA course applied for a C course while still preparing for the PTA exam. The reaction we got was "If you pass the PTA course exam you will be considered for the next available C course" The good news is that we all passed and so were back at Wood Norton with just a two month break from our studies.

Roger Tone says: "I am pretty sure the guy 5th from the right in the back row is Malcolm Dickinson from AP". [In September 2014 this was confirmed by his son Jamie Dickinson.]
