Can you have 2 trainers from 2 different schools and still go on pink licence?
Hi All,
Is it possible to have 2 trainers one who is an adi who will sponsor the PDI and another trainer from a different school doing training as well. I read somewhere that as long as the sponsoring ADI does at least 8 hours of the 40 hour training that will be acceptable. I can;t find it written anywhere now so would be grateful if anyone knows if the trainers must be from the same school or if it is ok for them to be from separate school.
Many thanks.

Yes you can have as many as you want from as many schools as you want. I used 2 different trainers from different schools. I felt it helped as they came up with different ideas which I combined together. I'm think I'm right saying you only have to do the 40hrs if you are planning to go on a pink.

Hi thank you for your response. On the training sheet which you send in to apply for a pink licence do I take it that when you complete the form both adi's sign it next to the pst's they have taught and that would be acceptable?

Yes Tina, whoever is responsible for delivering that part of your training should sign the form.

Hi
Great thank you that is clear now. One more thing if you could just clarify for me please. Is it correct that the sponsoring ADI should do at least 8 hours of the 40 hour training or does it not matter who does what as long as the 40 hours of training is given. Its just that I did read it but now cannot find it written anywhere now.
Many thanks for your responses it is greatly appreciated.

I know someone who trained with a large school who never met the person whose name appeared as sponsor on his pink badge. Didn't even know who he was.
