Driver Awareness course South Wales

Wig

It is for a speeding offence 35 in a 30 zone
It does not say in the letter what the name of the course should be :mad:
From the TTC website the most apt course would be "Speed Awareness" but it would have been helpful to be told this in the letter.
How much does the course cost in South Wales?
And where are the venues in South Wales? (see below possibly answered)
And is it a 1 day course?

They say in their letter you can check online at
https://dors.police.uk

or book via www.ttc-uk.com (the website does not work very well with my browser but I am still trying as I type) ..... so far I found 2 options (near Pontypridd) Ocean Way in Cardiff or Bridgend. but no details on cost only after entering your details. :mad:

Why are they not giving a South Wales website?

I don't want to put the driver no. in there, so has anyone got any experience of this here?

Could it be that you live in South Wales and the offence was committed in Dyfed-Powys?

If so then the initial offer will be based on where the offence was committed not where you reside. There was a system a while ago where you could apply to attend a course local to you but you will need to contact Dyfed-Powys to seek their guidance. They may insist that you attend a course within their force area.

No, it was in Bridgend South Wales, the letter says the offender can attend anywhere in the country. I find it a bit strange they give dyfed police website and not South Wales Police.

System

The NDORS site, where you login and select the course will have all the details of locations and prices.

It also states

You have been invited by the Police to participate on an approved national driver offender retraining course. You can choose to take this course anywhere it is available and do not have to return to the place of the offence.
You can use this web site to see a list of course providers who are approved to deliver the course under the national collaborative arrangements.

Probably for the same reason that speeding offences in Suffolk are sent from Norfolk Constabulary as they run a joint department which based in Norfolk's area and so use their stationery etc

FYI...I attended a course just over a year ago. At the Holiday Inn just off the M4 Coldra roundabout near Newport.


Think it cost £85.


Course lasted a couple of hours.

Ok I logged in to the NDORS site and it is £85 and it is a half day course
and I have the choice of Bridgend, Cardiff Ocean Way or Newport (same as above)

Thanks anyway.
