He started on our Fast Track Scheme, which quickly became impractical due to his filming commitments. He decided to move onto the "Learn At Your Own Pace' course, and tells us how he battled to keep motivated to finish his training. This is a great story for anyone doubting they have time to train of struggling to see the end.
